What benefits you get from my Teaching classes:

1) I am not very strict when it comes to extra time. We can extend a bit. +10 mins is no problem. I always think that long sessions with small pauses are better so that you get a grip of the topic.

2) I can teach in group as well as alone , what suits you best. In case you are out for a break and don't want to lag behind in comparison to what is going on in school we, can have some back to back classes in short time, if that suits you.

Teaching has been a long time passion for me. I have taught already some candidates (look testimonials below) and during my colleges days I have held classes with several group of students. After moving to University I was also delivering sessions for my classmates from different parts of the world and I was in-charge of specific experiment for Bachelors and Masters students as well for a year.

About Me
I had Mathematics and Science in my School time where I scored 95/100 in Maths and 99/100 in Sciences (Indian First stage of Scientific Education) and then 95/100 again in Mathematic for exams Just before University. Due to love for machines I pursued Mechanical Engineering and then specialized in Materials Science (Physics and Chemistry of Materials). In a nutshell I am a Materials Scientist.

Theories of international relations are a must to understand global politics. However, given the multitude of theories and authors, studying them can be a bit overwhelming. I offer this class for poli sci students who are struggling with the theories and how to apply them, but also to anyone curious to learn more about the world we live in today. If needed, we can also talk about political philosophy, which, in a way, forms the basis of the theories we know today.
I can teach this class in French or English.

Have you always been fascinated by Ancient Egypt? Have you always dreamed about learning more about the mysteries of this fascinating ancient civilization? Then this is the course for you!

Have you always been fascinated by Ancient Egypt? Have you always dreamed of learning more about this fascinating and mysterious culture? Then this course is just right for you!

Be semper stato affascinato dall'antico Egitto? Have you ever heard of conoscere meglio and the mystery of this fascinating civility? Allora questo è il corso per te!

Teaching approach:
I have always been fascinated by ancient Egypt, and during my studies of Foreign Languages and Literature at Turin University, I took Egyptology for one year. I studied with Professor Silvio Curto, a well-known Egyptologist who was the Director of the Turin Museum for many years. Since my studies I have kept reading Egyptology texts and enriching my knowledge, my main interest and specialization being ancient Egyptian mythology, deities (and especially goddesses), as well as magic.

Course program:
Turin is the city in which I was born, raised and where I lived for a long time. This city is closely linked to ancient Egypt, since it houses the oldest Egyptian Museum worldwide, and still one of the most important collections in the world.

In this course we are going to visit the Museo Egizio in Turin virtually, and we are going to read and discuss interesting texts written by Egyptologists, discussing many fascinating topics, such as ancient Egyptian magic, mythology, gods and goddesses, women in Ancient Egypt and many more. And if you visit Turin, a live lesson in the Egyptian Museum in the form of a guided visit can be arranged!

In this course we will virtually tour the 'Museo Egizio' in Turin and we will talk about many fascinating topics such as Egyptian magic, deities, famous pharaohs, amulets, ancient Egyptian art and much more. We will also answer interesting questions: When did ancient Egypt begin? How old were the Egyptians? Were women equal? What colors were there in the Egyptian language? And if you're visiting Turin, there's also the option to organize a live lesson in the form of a shared tour of the Egyptian Museum!

In the course of a virtual visit to the Egyptian Museum of Torino and to the audience of many fascinating arguments: the pyramids and the temples of Abu Simbel, the amulet of all the divine egizie, the Valle dei Re and the Regine as the ruins of the ancient Egitto woman. This visit to Torino can also be organized as a living lesson in the form of a visit to the Egyptian Museum!

Hello! I am a private tutor (in-person and online) in philosophy, history, social sciences, and political science. I have been teaching since 2014 and I support a variety of audiences (secondary, higher education, researchers). My teaching method is active: flipped classroom, Socratic debate, project-based learning, criterion-referenced assessments (rubrics), and rapid feedback. I help students formulate a solid problem, structure a plan, argue rigorously, and cite their sources correctly.

I work with digital tools (Moodle, Teams/Zoom, Zotero, NVivo/ATLAS.ti, SPSS/R) and I provide clear support: learning objectives, timetable, assessment criteria. The sessions alternate between summary contributions, guided exercises and discussion sessions. I value curiosity, intellectual discipline and academic honesty (zero ghostwriting, methodological support only).

Areas of expertise: ethics and political theory, history of ideas, discourse analysis, methodology (qualitative/quantitative). Languages: fluent French and English; German read/spoken, Portuguese read; Latin/Ancient Greek (reading). I am caring but demanding: I set explicit expectations, encourage autonomy, and remain available between sessions for targeted questions. If you are looking for structured mentoring, based on clarity, method, and the joy of learning, I will be happy to support you.

My goal is to help the student progress without overloading them. I may assign homework after lessons, but this is only occasional.

The main objective of my courses is to instill (or rekindle) in students a love of history and geography. To achieve this, I use a variety of resources and do not limit myself to traditional lectures.
