Western Armenian is a language that has been put in the endangered language's list, and I personally believe that such a rich language should never die. I believe that I am taking a huge initiative to be one of the individuals who'll try to save this important language from disappearing.
I try to make my lessons as interacting as possible. The lessons and exercises will be provided through PowerPoint presentations. I try to listen to my student in order to prepare the lesson plan together, according to his needs and preferences.
I've always been the smiling and friendly tutor who makes the student comfortable during the lessons. I believe that in order to reach the students you need to understand them also emotionally and psychologically.

This class is suitable for all interested people young, teens and adults.
Zambian history is so rich coming back to the pre -colonial days, colonial days and post colonial days.Zambia a land locked country with 8 neighbouring countries :
Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, and Angola.
The country has 72 Tribes and 10 provinces with 226 parliamentary Constituencies for political governance.
Each tribe is rich in culture and amazingly all the tribes have some common culture practices across the country.
More interesting it's abundance of natural local foods and different methods of preparing food.

If you may have the following questions:
1.What was the pre-colonial life in Zambia before being colonized by Britain?
2.What was it like during colonial days in Zambia?
3.What was a breaking point that made local people unite and fight colonialism?
4.What was the post-colonial life style?
5.What is the current lifestyle in Zambia?
Guess what? All those Questions are covered and satisfactory answers are given during lessons.
At this point you're recommended to book some lessons to understand Zambia🇿🇲 better.

I am a passionate and dedicated English and History tutor who aims to make learning engaging, accessible and meaningful. In English, I support learners in developing their reading, writing, comprehension, language and critical-thinking skills, while helping them build confidence in analysing literature and expressing their ideas clearly. I adapt my teaching approach to suit each learner’s individual needs and learning style.

In History, I help learners develop a strong understanding of historical events, people and contexts while teaching them how to analyse sources, identify bias, understand cause and consequence, and construct well-supported arguments. I focus on helping learners move beyond simply memorising content and instead develop the critical-thinking skills needed to interpret and evaluate historical information.

My goal is to create a supportive learning environment where learners feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and developing their confidence. I strive to help each learner reach their academic potential while fostering a genuine interest in both subjects.

I invite you to discuss your objectives and challenges in order to develop a teaching method and techniques that meet your expectations. The course is based on dialogue and mutual trust: it depends on the subject matter being taught, but above all on your desires and goals.
For the past fifteen years, I have taught philosophy, history and political science in various contexts: at university, in high school, in adult education programs, and by giving private lessons to French speakers and non-French speakers.

In the three disciplines offered, my courses aim to enable you to acquire the essential knowledge and methods, and to develop your skills in an individualized way.

I would be happy to support you in preparing for the Baccalaureate, in philosophy and in HGGSP.

I specialise in supporting non-Finnish speakers in learning school academia in Finland. I can teach in Finnish or English. I am qualified in biology and health education up to upper secondary (lukio) level but am also able to help with other subjects such as math, geography and history in primary and secondary education.

It is important to master the basic skills of reading and writing. Reading comprehension and the ability to express one's understanding orally and in writing are central to studying.
