Introduction to Identity, Music, and Food in Creole Society
This course will explore the history and origins of Creole communities around the world.
Students will analyze these communities through the lens of identity, music, and food to better
understand the unique blend of African, European, Indigenous, and sometimes Asian cultures,
that formed a novel, “creole” society. While special focus will be given to French Creole
communities, students will also become acquainted with a broader definition of Creole that can
be applied to Hispanic, Anglophone Caribbean, and Dutch Caribbean territories. At the end of
this course, students will confidently recognize Creole communities worldwide and will be able
to explain the history of creolization.

About Me
Hi Everyone! My name is Mr. Marc. I am a high school biology teacher in New York City and a rising M1 medical student.I have been in education as a tutor, teaching assistant, and now teacher for the past 10 years.
My expertise is in French language & linguistics, Creole studies, and biomedical sciences. While I teach biology in the class, I have also been a private French instructor for the past 5 years. As someone from a Creole family from Louisiana, I did not grow up hearing much French. But it was always an important part of me. I started learning French as a child, and now I speak it fluently. I love teaching people my language. I also love teaching people about the Creolized communities that I grew up around. Please do not hesitate to reach out for any questions!

In this class, I will present an introduction to pharmacology. As a former alcohol and cannabis researcher, I had to learn a lot about what substances commonly referred as drugs are AND what they do to the body. In this course, we will study major drug classes. We will read some of the latest literature on these drug classes. We will also explore how pharmacological studies could help inform public health legislation.
** We will have to purchase the textbook out of pocket, but we might be able to get a PDF**
In this course, we will review an overview of the nervous system. We will distinguish the functioning of the central and peripheral nervous system. As this course is an overview, we will review basic neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, and neuropathology.
This online class can be modified for all levels. In the beginner classes, we will start from the basics of the French language, including grammar, pronunciation, accent mark studies, and Francophone studies. We can also modify each lesson to be anywhere between 0.5 and two hours.
French is a global language, spoken on every major continent. Even where French no longer holds official status, it very well might hold an official status. I can confidently build both fluency and proficiency as well as build your understanding of the francophone world.
In this class, I will present an overview of biology, which includes several fields such as physiology, molecular biology, cell biology, evolution, ecology, etc. We will also go over basics of science. This class is designed for individuals who have no experience in biology. If you do have experience, I will be offering a college level-level class.

Engines of War: Medical and Technological Innovations of War
War is a catalyst for destruction — but it also sparks invention. From antibiotics to the internet, trauma surgery to satellites, some of the most life-changing discoveries in science and medicine were born on the battlefield. In this 1-on-1 course, we’ll trace the complicated relationship between conflict and progress, exploring how the urgency of war has driven advancements in technology, public health, and medical care, often at a devastating cost.
Through a mix of primary sources, propaganda, military records, and visual media, we’ll examine both the breakthroughs and the human consequences behind them. Each lesson focuses on a different conflict or innovation, giving students the tools to think critically about how societies respond to crisis, and what we choose to remember.
Topics Included:
- World War I: Shell shock, plastic surgery, chemical warfare, and the origins of trauma care
- World War II: Penicillin, blood banks, radar, and the dawn of the atomic age
- The Korean War: MASH units, air evacuations, and advances in burn treatment
- Vietnam War: Helicopter medicine, PTSD research, and ethical debates on chemical weapons
- The Cold War: Space exploration, computing, surveillance, and scientific competition
- Modern Conflicts: Drones, AI, prosthetics, and the rise of cyberwarfare
Learning Goals:
- How scientific and medical innovation has evolved under the pressures of war
- The ethical questions surrounding "progress at a cost"
- The long-term civilian impact of military inventions
- How to analyze historical documents and visual culture
- How memory, trauma, and necessity shape the story of war
Learn Armenian language, grammar, literature and history in Western Armenian.
Western Armenian is a language that has been put in the endangered language's list, and I personally believe that such a rich language should never die. I believe that I am taking a huge initiative to be one of the individuals who'll try to save this important language from disappearing.
I try to make my lessons as interacting as possible. The lessons and exercises will be provided through PowerPoint presentations. I try to listen to my student in order to prepare the lesson plan together, according to his needs and preferences.
I've always been the smiling and friendly tutor who makes the student comfortable during the lessons. I believe that in order to reach the students you need to understand them also emotionally and psychologically.
