Understanding the Global System: Introduction to International Relations for ALL
The course gives an introduction to international politics from a theoretical perspective. The discipline of international relations looks at political interactions at the global level. In the context of this course, we will look at states as the most important actors in international politics, although we will also look at the influence of, for example, international governmental organizations (such as the United Nations) and non-governmental organizations (such as Amnesty International or terrorist groups like the Islamic State). How can the behaviour of states and other actors be explained? This question is central to the course. Assumptions from various schools of thought, such as realism, liberalism, and constructivism are discussed extensively. In the course, the most important insights that these theories have presented are dealt with on the basis of concrete examples. Therefore, attention will also be given to specific issues and developments in international politics, such as globalization, regionalism, terrorism, war and peace, human rights, poverty and development, climate change and nuclear non-proliferation.

About Me
Hi! Thank you so much for visiting my page!My name is Jack and I am here to teach you about the fantastic discipline of International Relations. I am a 24-year-old graduate of International Relations and Organisations and I currently work at the British Embassy here in The Hague, the Netherlands. I love teaching, meeting new people, and I consider myself very easy to talk to.
It is a discipline I am extremely passionate about, and I want to share this passion with my students. I am keen to build a relationship with you the student, so that I may better understand your needs and learning style. Alongside the specified courses, I am also here to assist with any academia related queries, writing papers and conducting research, as well as university and internship applications. I was in your shoes once!
Above all, I seek to make everything we do enjoyable and benefit you.
Interested? Let's organise a quick call to get to know each other and discuss options!
Education
I graduated from Leiden University with a BSc in International Relations and Organisations. I completed this degree 'Cum Laude' with honours. My thesis research was a qualitative, interpretivist piece entitled 'The Alliance Security Dilemma, NATO & Strategic Consensus'. for which I was awarded a 9/10 and nominated for best thesis in Political Science 2022. I have also taken courses in Comparative Politics, Global Security, Global History, International Development and others. Although I am well versed in International Relations generally, my expertise lies in international and European security, grand strategy and foreign policy analysis.I am currently undertaking an MSc in Political Science with a specialisation in International Politics also at Leiden University. I am continuing with this same strain of research.
Experience / Qualifications
My current role is at the British Embassy in The Hague, where I am part of the Policy Team. I deal mostly with British-Dutch bilateral affairs, but I also have experience with International Law, the OPCW and other multilateral affairs. I was fortunate enough to attend the 2023 UK-NL Joint Diplomatic Training at the Foreign Office in London. I can therefore provide a practical, real-world insight into International Relations.Previously, I was also part of the Implementation Support Unit of the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention. Here I was able to gain a rich insight into an international treaty, and the important work of civil society.

Help with homework, acquisition and mastery of knowledgeHello, my name is Audrey!
I am a teacher, expatriate in Southeast Asia, I give online and face-to-face courses in Bangkok.
Over the past five years, I have had the opportunity to help numerous students in France and abroad, with attention deficit disorder, dyslexia, dysorthography, or simply those seeking self-confidence.
My studies led me to work on many and very diverse subjects but above all to learn and quickly master many concepts and knowledge!
To achieve my goals, I had to develop tricks and use methods, starting with preparing for the BACCALAUREAT. I therefore know how discouraging, frustrating and even impossible it can sometimes seem.
Also, I propose to support you to help you prepare for and succeed in your baccalaureate in the best conditions! (stress management, oral expression for Grand Oral and language orals, methodology for responding to subjects even when the knowledge is not all known or mastered, etc.).
Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I will be happy to talk with you about your expectations, your objectives and my working method.

Global History & Society: From Empires to Modern NationsThis course introduces secondary and sixth-form students to the evolution of global civilizations, with a focus on comparative history, political thought, and social transformation. Drawing on 30+ years of experience teaching History and Liberal Studies in Hong Kong—including at A-Level and university level—I guide students through themes such as colonialism, revolutions, global conflicts, and modern political ideologies.
Each lesson combines primary source analysis, critical discussion, and structured writing skills (essays, arguments, and document-based questions). Ideal for students preparing for GCSE, A-Level, or international entrance exams.

Political Communication, Public Speaking, and PresentationThe course module is adapted to the student.
The summary will be communicated during the first lesson.
I teach you to speak and/or write with an approach to the sciences of political communication, international relations, social and human sciences while convincing the person(s) in front of you with several negotiation techniques.
▪️ Political communication is about the creation and exchange of ideas and opinions between citizens, public officials, political institutions, and related entities, such as the media. It includes discourse throughout the political process in local, state, national, and international political systems, as well as how political information can be exploited for political ends or to achieve political goals. People with a background in political communication may work in policy advice, foreign service, market research, public relations, journalism, and digital media, community organizing, lobbying, political campaigning, or other related fields.
▪️ The techniques used will improve your level of confidence in your public presentations and storytelling.
▪️ BUT! in order to achieve your goal you must master public speaking which is the process or act of giving a speech in front of a live audience. Public speaking is generally understood to be formal, face to face, speaking from a single person to a group of listeners.

Personalized history and social studies classes. Grading and tutoring of practical work. Academic and secondary levels.I am a history teacher, having graduated with honors from UNLu and honored by the National Academy of History as the highest national average. I have been focused on private education for over half a decade, both at the academic and secondary levels.
Beyond my specific academic training, I have been dedicated to the study of history and social sciences for 20 years (and to the creation of a library—of almost 2,000 volumes—that is available to students: if any material is required, it is digitized and sent).
I specialize in ancient history, medieval history, Argentine history, history of religions, and more. I have extensive knowledge of philosophy, theology, and the history of ideas. I also teach classes in politics, sociology, anthropology, art history, economics, and other social sciences that make up the corpus of history as a discipline.
In addition to teaching highly prepared and personalized classes, he can also guide, direct, and assist in the creation of practical projects or dissertations, whether group or individual.
For academic or school work, grammar and style corrections are also provided, along with tutoring to ensure the work is perfect.
Classes are delivered in a constructive manner, with the key focus being on students truly understanding the subject matter, developing an interest in it, and discovering how their daily lives connect with what they are studying. Beyond academic depth and the presentation of the subject matter, a fruitful dialogue between professor and student is highly valued.
This is my particular approach to teaching, but it may vary depending on the needs of each student.
I'm also interested in sharing study techniques—beyond the specific topic we're going to cover—that adapt to each student's needs, since it's not just what you study that's important, but how you study it.

Finally, the class prices shown in the ad are averaged and referential; the type of work to be done, the number of classes, and the different dynamics and realities make it difficult for me to come up with a "fixed" price for the classes. Teaching is an eminently human service, not a trade in goods. Therefore: contact me and let's talk.
