From 60 C$ /h

This 60-minute course provides a concise overview of the Ukrainian conflicts since 2014, exploring their complex recent history and deep-seated roots. We will begin by examining the immediate catalysts: the Euromaidan Revolution, Russia's annexation of Crimea, and the initial outbreak of conflict in the Donbas. The course will delve into the intertwined political, historical, and geopolitical factors that underpin the ongoing hostilities, including Ukraine's pursuit of closer ties with the European Union and NATO, Russia's security concerns and imperial ambitions, and the historical narratives shaping national identities. We will trace the evolution of the conflict from the initial phase in Donbas to the full-scale invasion in 2022, analyzing key events, international responses, and the devastating humanitarian consequences. By the end, participants will gain a clearer understanding of the multifaceted origins and trajectory of the Ukrainian wars.

French Political Institutions, a 2x60 minutes overview of the 5th Republic dynamics

48 C$ /h

This concise 60-minute course offers a rapid yet comprehensive exploration of France's political landscape. Delve into the unique architecture of the Fifth Republic, examining the interplay between its key institutions: the Presidency, Parliament, and Constitutional Council. We will uncover the nuances of its semi-presidential system, analyzing how executive power is wielded and constrained. The course will also touch upon the evolution of the French party system and the challenges it faces today, from cohabitation to the rise of new political forces. By the end of this session, participants will have a clear understanding of the fundamental principles and dynamic forces shaping French politics.

The role of the Financial crisis in the wake of 1789: the political role of the public debt

79 C$ /h

This 60-minute course examines the pivotal role of France's crippling public debt in the lead-up to the 1789 Revolution. We will explore how decades of costly wars left the monarchy fiscally insolvent. The course will reveal how the Crown's attempts to reform the tax system—and extend taxation to the privileged nobility and clergy—sparked a political showdown. We will analyze how the aristocracy’s refusal to sacrifice its fiscal exemptions created a constitutional deadlock, forcing the king to convene the Estates-General for the first time in over 150 years. Ultimately, this course demonstrates that the financial crisis was not merely an economic problem, but a deeply political one that catalyzed the collapse of the Ancien Régime.

Learn the methodology in dissertation and document analysis from middle school as well as high school.
This is what is present in History Geography and in the HGGSP specialty, and I offer courses aimed, in addition to helping the learning of courses in these subjects, to put it into practice in an exercise with a built methodology. It is this methodology that I teach, in order to provide the student with independence.
I can also provide homework help in these classes, as well as re-explain and repeat poorly understood course points.
As for speaking in public, it is necessary for the oral exams at the end of high school. I have been part of a debate group for 3 years and have acquired a certain mastery there.
I am a student in high school, in the final year and I already have experience in helping with homework in my high school. I also chose the HGGSP specialty (geopolitics and political science) in second and I obtained my baccalaureate in this subject.

The authenticity of an exchange. In a society increasingly rooted in a competitive approach, where automated exchanges with Artificial Intelligence cannot replace the need for human interaction, this is precisely what we lack.
As a lawyer by training and an independent legal consultant, creating "Le Droit" is a breath of fresh air. This private tutoring service is aimed directly at students and any adult who needs to overcome difficulties in studying the following subjects: French, Mathematics, Sciences, Philosophy, History, and Languages (English and Spanish). To be clear, these subjects will be studied up to the Baccalaureate level (General/Technological/Vocational).

Moreover, being currently preparing for the entrance exam to the National School of Magistrates and passionate about the beauty of multidisciplinary learning, the school program is being reviewed extremely regularly.

🎓 It is now necessary to elaborate somewhat on my experience:
4 years already dedicated to private lessons (which is significant) via the organization Complétude as well as independently (Law, French, Mathematics, Sciences, History and Languages), and this at all levels (primary, middle school, high school, university students and adults).

Regarding my teaching experience in legal subjects, I invite you to consult my other course offering dedicated to this subject and also published on Apprentus.

👋 What about my teaching approach, you might ask?
Beyond this desire for authenticity, it seems particularly important to dismantle the prejudices that poison the perception of students experiencing difficulties. To ensure the smooth running of this course and so that the student or adult feels as comfortable as possible, it is worth remembering that the foundation of all conversation and understanding remains listening. Listening to one's equal, regardless of age.

💬 Wouldn't you be interested?
Please feel free to contact me by message and I remain available to discuss the frequency of classes and their modalities (in-person in Tours, videoconference and possibility of travel if necessary).

In the meantime, ladies and gentlemen, students or interested individuals, it would be a real pleasure for me to accompany you as best I can on your path to success because, as its name indicates: you all have the Right to Knowledge! 😉

Hello! First, I'll assess the student's strengths and weaknesses so I can tailor the lessons to best support their learning. Then, I'll explain the lesson to the student, followed by practice exercises, and finally, I'll assign some homework for the next session.

First, there are many ways to teach and learn, each with its own methods. Mine are accessible, fun, and guarantee consistent understanding, allowing for perfect application of knowledge. The lessons take place in three stages:
- 📝News, student's feelings on the topic (misunderstandings to be reviewed if necessary), review of prior knowledge, short quiz, objective of the day. - 📚Today's lesson with guided application.
- 🗒️ personalized assessment and homework (no heavy workload for the student but only regular engagement).

Do you struggle to memorize dates, people, and events? Do you feel like history is just an endless accumulation of facts? I'll help you study it in a different way: by understanding the processes, connecting events, and grasping the causes and consequences of what happened.

I offer private History lessons for secondary school, high school and university students, fully adapted to the level, subject and needs of each student.

My goal is not simply for you to memorize content to pass an exam, but for you to understand History as a process, identify the relationships between different events, and develop a critical and well-founded view of the past and the present world.

How can I help you?
History for ESO and Bachillerato.
History of Spain.
History of the Contemporary World.
History of Art and related Humanities content.
Support in university subjects of History and Humanities.
Exam preparation and subject recovery.
Understanding and organizing extensive topics.
Analysis of causes, consequences, and relationships between historical events.
Commentary and analysis of historical sources and documents.
Preparation of text commentaries and academic papers.
Development of study techniques to better understand and retain the content.

I hold a degree in Humanities and have extensive university training in various fields within the Humanities. Furthermore, I have a teaching qualification and teaching experience, which allows me not only to master the subject matter but also to adapt my teaching methods to each student.

My multidisciplinary background allows me to approach history by connecting it with philosophy, culture, religion, art, and major social and political processes. This helps events move beyond isolated facts and gain meaning within a broader context.

History and geography is an essential subject in schools and high schools, and at university, one must read history and understand famous events in the history of all worlds and countries, also using two languages: French and English.

I support primary and secondary school students in all main subjects: French, mathematics, history-geography, science and English.

My method is structured in three stages: precise identification of gaps in knowledge, creation of personalized summary sheets, and then validation through targeted exercises and mock exams. The goal is for the student to leave with a study method they can use independently, not just answers for the next assignment.

I adapt to each student's pace and personality. Some need to review the basics, others need to gain confidence. I always start from where the student is.

In-person classes in Geneva or via video conference.

Develop a deeper understanding of U.S. history, world history, government, and civics through personalized one-on-one tutoring.

I work with middle school, high school, and college students who need help with coursework, exams, essays, presentations, or simply understanding challenging historical and political concepts. Lessons are tailored to the student's curriculum, level, learning style, and goals.

Rather than focusing only on memorizing names and dates, I help students understand the bigger picture: Why did events happen? What were their consequences? How are political, economic, cultural, and technological developments connected? And how does history help us understand the world today?

Topics can include U.S. history, world history, European and Asian history, U.S. government and the Constitution, civics, comparative government, international affairs, and related social studies subjects.

Before transitioning into education, I spent 16 years as a U.S. Foreign Service Officer, living and working in Asia, Africa, and Washington, D.C. I have also taught in the United States and abroad, served as a graduate teaching assistant at American University, and taught undergraduate students at the University of Maryland. I am currently completing Virginia's EducateVA Career Switcher Program as I transition into education.

My goal is not simply to help students improve their grades, but to help them become more confident learners who can analyze evidence, recognize connections, and explain historical and political ideas clearly.

After teaching in middle and high school for several years, I have been dedicating myself to private tutoring since 2019.

I offer tutoring in English, French, and history/geography, and can also help with homework in all subjects. With seven years of experience in private tutoring, I have taught all types of students, from primary school to university level. I have also regularly prepared students for the French and history/geography sections of the Brevet exam, and for the French, history/geography, and English Baccalaureate exams, including the Contemporary World English specialization. Therefore, I can support your child in these exams and also help with homework, reviewing lessons, or improving their English, French, and history/geography skills.

I can possibly travel to the Grenoble area, or conduct lessons via video conference if you prefer.

Do not hesitate to contact me !
