Empires of Epidemics: Disease History and Its Influence on Modern Life

From 37 C$ /h

From the Black Death to COVID-19, epidemics have done more than spread illness — they’ve reshaped societies, restructured power, accelerated science, and transformed how we live. In this personalized, one-on-one course, we’ll examine the global history of disease and uncover how outbreaks have built and broken systems across time.

Using primary sources, historical documents, visual media, propaganda, art, and medical texts, we’ll explore how different societies understood, feared, fought disease, and what those responses can teach us about the modern world.

Each lesson focuses on a specific disease or pandemic, such as:
- The Black Death and early public health
- The Spanish Flu and wartime censorship
- Cholera, sanitation, and the modern city
- Tuberculosis and the romanticization of illness
- HIV/AIDS, activism, and inequality
- COVID-19 in historical perspective

What you’ll gain:
- A deeper understanding of disease as a force in world history
- Tools to analyze historical sources and narratives
- Connections between past and present public health responses
- Insight into how memory, fear, and resilience shape our collective story

This course is ideal for students of history, public health, or anyone curious about how disease has helped build — and challenge — the modern world.

The Sound of History: An introduction to the History of Western Classical Music

37 C$ /h

What makes Baroque music different from Romantic? How did Mozart, Beethoven, and Stravinsky change the sound of the world? In this course, we’ll explore the major eras of Western classical music, from the ornate harmonies of the Baroque to the bold, theory-breaking works of the 20th century. Each lesson focuses on a different time period or movement, introducing key composers, musical styles, and the historical and cultural forces that shaped the sound of each era.

This class is designed to be accessible and engaging, NOT theory heavy. No formal music training is required. We’ll focus on listening, storytelling, and historical context, helping you connect with music as both an art form and a reflection of its time. We’ll explore each period using musical excerpts, visual art, cultural history, and key ideas — with room for discussion, questions, and student interests.

Topics Included:
- Baroque Era: Bach, Vivaldi, sacred music, ornamentation, court life
- Classical Era: Mozart, Haydn, balance, Enlightenment ideals
- Romantic Era: Beethoven, Chopin, nationalism, emotion, revolution
- Impressionism & Modernism: Debussy, Stravinsky, fragmentation, innovation
- 20th Century and Beyond: Minimalism, film scores, electronic music, global voices

Learning Goals:

Ichläre mathematische and physikalische Zusammenhänge Schritt für Schritt, gehe individul auf das Lerntempo ein und arbeite gezielt an den Stellen, an denen noch Unsicherheiten bestehen.

**Gemeinsam können wir:**
- Actual Unterrichtsthemen verständlich aufarbeiten
- Hauhautgaben und Übungdessusgaben besprechen
- Wissenslücken systematisch schließen
- Uns gezielt auf Klassenarbeiten, Klausuren und das Abitur vorbereiten
- Schwierige Themen durch zusätzliche Aufgaben vertiefen und festigen

**Mathematik:** There are some examples of Algebra, Gleichungen, Funktionen, Geometrie, Trigonometrie, Analysis, Vektorrechnung and other mathematical themes.

**Physik:** Meine Schwerpunkte umfassen Mechanik, Elektrizitätslehre, Energie, technische Anwendungen soweitere schulrelevante Themengebiete.

Durch mein Ingenieurstudium beschäftige ich mich intensive mit höherer Mathematik, Physik und deren technischen Anwendungen. Daher cann ich bei Bedarf auch fortgeschrittene Schülerinnen und Schüler sowie Studienanfänger in mathematischen and physikalischen Grundlagen unterstützen.

**Der Unterricht ist auf Deutsch oder Englisch möglich** and wird individuall an das Level, die Ziele und die Bedürfnisse der Schülerinnen und Schüler angepasst.

Mein Ziel ist es, dass Mathematik und Physik nicht länger wie eine Sammlung zufälliger Formeln wirken, sondern zu logisch verständlichen und nachvollziehbaren Zusammenhängen werden.

Then we have the Grundlagen wirklich versteht, you can also find out more.

Hi! If physics is giving you a hard time and you are preparing for your GCSE or IGCSE exams under AQA, Edexcel, or OCR boards, I am here to help you take things from scratch and build complete confidence.
Here is how we go through the entire learning journey together:

Starting from the Basics: When we begin a new topic—whether it is forces, electricity, waves, or energy—we don't just jump into memorizing definitions. We start right from the very basics, breaking down what the concept actually means using simple, real-world logic.

Interactive Visual Learning: During our online session, we work on a shared digital whiteboard. I draw clean diagrams, circuit layouts, and ray optics step by step right in front of you so you can clearly visualize what is happening instead of just imagining it from a book.

Tackling Numericals: Physics formulas and calculations scare many students. We practice numerical problems slowly, learning how to rearrange formulas, substitute values correctly, and check units step by step until solving them becomes second nature.

Exam & Past Paper Practice: Once we finish a chapter, we immediately move to exam-style questions and past papers. We review how examiners mark answers, how to phraseexplanations properly, and how to manage time so you feel fully prepared and calm on your actual exam day.

Drop me a message anytime, and let's talk about which topics you want us to start working on together!
