Why is History Important? Essay Writing and the Art of Questioning
course price icon
Van 27 € /h
arrow icon
Why is history important? What can we learn from the past that is relevant today, or interesting enough to study in great detail?

These are extremely important questions that many students face when they have to study world history. Often, however, these questions are never properly answered. The first aim of my class is to tackle these questions head on, to encourage a real interest in past ways of life and the role of history.

The secondary role of my tuition is to help the student become more confident in their writing: how they can formulate their ideas into a strong, coherent piece of work.

Over
Hi there, I’m Dave and I’ve just moved to Paris to study for a masters degree at Sciences Po. I also give personal tuition in order to share my passion for understanding the world around us in its great complexity - my academic background being in Archaeology and Anthropology. What is interesting about this choice was that this was never something I was particularly interested in growing up. My primary goal in tutorials is to spark the interest of the student, in whatever subject they need help, by giving them the bigger picture.

I am also mildly dyslexic which helps me understand some of the issues children face while they are formulating good learning habits. Dyslexia is not a weakness, it simply means that you are comparatively stronger in some academic skills over others. I used to struggle putting my ideas onto paper, and was daunted at the prospect of organising my ideas on a particular subject. My tutorials can help students generate successful strategies for writing essays of a high quality.

Tuition would start by identifying the current curriculum a child is working on, and moving on from there. I am generally happy to help with all kinds of academic work.

Please get in touch!

By using a wide variety of media, I am able to teach not only a general skill in the English language, but the confidence to use it in real life situations. The mix of reading, speaking and list I offer makes classes fast, fun and more useful than classical language classes.

Marcella
Hello there! My name is Marcella, born and raised in the Netherlands and fond of travelling all around the globe. Today I own a travel website and write for some magazines. To make a bit more cash and to keep up with my former life as a teacher, I teach some extra classes to teenagers and adults alike. I am a qualified teacher of the English language with a specialisation in working with teenagers who are challenged by ADHD, Autism, ADD and PDDNOS. After working as an English teacher and mentor in different types of schools in the Netherlands, Belgium and South Africa I am currently living in Paris and very motivated to help students improve their English in different ways.

I used to successfully run a homework institution before leaving the Netherlands where I helped teenagers focus, plan, learn and reflect on their own process. I am willing to teach broader than English only and help teenagers plan, find motivation back and get back on track in case the need is there. Having taken a fair amount of courses in psychology and after years of experience with demotivated teenagers I can help you find your motivation back and set refreshing goals.

I am ver flexible in switching from grammar lessons, to conversational English, to analysing texts and essay writing and can teach pretty much on demand.

My lessons will be fun, open-minded, with interesting topics. So whether you have a teenager at home who needs some motivation, are a business person who wants to be more confident in speaking English, or polish up your grammar or overall English before travelling to an English-speaking country, you can count on me!

(Besides being fluent in English I speak a basic French, German, Swedish and Dutch as my mother tongue).
