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?

Guess what? All those Questions are covered and satisfactory answers are given during lessons.

The course develops strong analytical and critical thinking skills by encouraging students to examine a range of historical sources, evaluate evidence, compare different interpretations, and construct well-supported, structured arguments. It also strengthens research, communication, and essay-writing skills, enabling students to present clear, balanced, and evidence-based conclusions.

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.
