With this course I want to make available to anyone the knowledge acquired over 20 years teaching history courses in colleges and universities. History and humanism are my passion and I take great pleasure in sharing this passion through enjoyable and entertaining lessons, always supported by appropriate audiovisual resources. This course aims to cover the topics that the student wants to know and/or delve into.
History is an educational experience that allows students to explore and understand humanity's past. By emphasizing significant events and analyzing how these factors have influenced the evolution of society and civilization we can understand how the decisions and actions of the past have shaped the world we live in today.

Do you love Italian people, history, and food and you would like to speak the language?
I am a CEDILS-certified Italian teacher born and raised in Florence, and I've also been a language student myself for a long time! If you want to be able to interact with Italians quickly, I can give you some tips about correct pronunciation, fundamental grammar, and vocabulary, but also Italian art and popular culture, which I think is fundamental to understanding the mentality and the country that you are going to interact with.
Lessons will be tailored according to the student's needs, level, and mother language and focused on the conversation.

I am also available to proofread your writings.

History is the vector that allows us to better understand our society, the world in which we live. It is essential for general culture. The level of the course will adapt to the level of the student, from primary to university. It is also possible to adapt it in relation to an exam or competition to be taken, or to a person wishing to complete their general knowledge on a particular subject.

Shall we learn about Brazilian history? I'm Brazilian, a graduate in History from PUC-Rio, where I'm currently pursuing my Master's degree in History. I also teach at the Marielle Franco Pre-University Center, where I've been teaching for two years. I have experience with online classes.
We will primarily study the formation of Brazil, its political and social issues, and how its people fought for their rights. We will explore colonization, the imperial period, and the different phases of the republic.

Having a good grasp of your country's history (or the history of a country you are moving to) is important, and to be able to achieve that, you need to be able to understand it in a meaningful way. My goal is to help you do just that! Our lessons will be tailored to your needs and learning styles, and you will be tutored in an attentive and patient environment.

I will tutor and/or teach any era of US History from the founding of Jamestown in 1607 to the beginning of Obama's presidency in 2008 (which is roughly where most high school and middle school U.S. History textbooks end). If need be, I will stick with students throughout the entire year. Once I am told where we need to start, and I assess what lesson type would fit the student the best, I will begin with our lesson plans.

Classes and tutoring ARE offered year-around, 7 days a week (though availability in terms of time may vary). This is to give students the availability to access help and education throughout the year, anytime, on a schedule that suits their needs.

Philosophy has got to be one of the most interesting things in the world, and understanding it is greatly helpful for living your life well and, most importantly, having great conversations with others! If you wanna be that guy who knows everything and can talk with people across different beliefs, then understanding the history of philosophy lets you understand what underpins their beliefs and maybe even what opposes them!

History can be a confusing subject.

I specialise in tutoring history specifically the classical era of antiquity (ancient Greece and Rome).
Were I’m getting my degree in right now.

World History is through this a familiar subject in witch I have a lot of expertise in.

In our lessons we will go through time and search for patterns to make sense of history.
As understanding how History happened will make you understand the modern world.

We will at the same time work on your school curriculum.

Italian, history, and art history are subjects that may be part of your high school graduation exams, which is why my courses would be an excellent way to strengthen your skills through texts, written and oral exercises, readings, and much more. If your high school graduation exams are already a distant memory but your desire to learn remains, you’ve come to the right place: my courses are suitable for all ages! Together, we can study both written and spoken Italian, or refreshing your knowledge of history or art history through varied and engaging texts and exercises.

Professional profile (approx. 600 words)

I am a teacher and educational content creator specializing in the humanities, contemporary culture, and interdisciplinary analysis of the human experience through film, music, philosophy, history, and art. My approach goes beyond traditional teaching, aiming to cultivate a critical, aesthetic, and profound understanding of how we perceive the world.

My main area of expertise is European and arthouse cinema, with a particular interest in directors who have transformed cinematic language, such as Ingmar Bergman, Federico Fellini, Andrei Tarkovsky, Jean-Luc Godard, and Michael Haneke. I analyze film not only as entertainment but also as a form of visual thought, capable of expressing complex philosophical, emotional, and social ideas. In my classes, I explore narrative, aesthetics, symbolism, and the relationship between cinema and society.

In the musical field, I work from a broad perspective, encompassing everything from classical music (Beethoven, Mahler, Debussy, Bach) to contemporary genres such as alternative rock, shoegaze, and post-rock. Bands like My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, and Radiohead are part of my analysis, especially regarding sonic texture, emotionality, and atmospheric construction. I also explore the history of rock as a cultural phenomenon and its impact on youth and social identity.

Philosophy is another fundamental pillar of my teaching. I focus particularly on Friedrich Nietzsche, his critique of traditional morality, the concept of nihilism, the will to power, and the figure of the Übermensch (superman). Starting with Nietzsche, I connect philosophy with contemporary culture, film, and psychology, generating debates about the meaning of existence, individual freedom, and the construction of value in the modern world.

In art history, I cover everything from the Renaissance to contemporary art, paying particular attention to how artistic movements reflect social and intellectual changes. I analyze works not only in terms of their technique, but also their historical, political, and symbolic context. I also explore the relationship between visual art, film, and photography as languages that engage in dialogue with one another.

In general history and the humanities, I work with a cross-disciplinary approach that connects historical processes with the evolution of thought, culture, and social structures. I am particularly interested in how philosophical, artistic, and political ideas influence one another over time.

Psychology is another key area, focusing on the psychology of art, perception, emotions, and identity. I explore how film, music, and culture shape the human mind and how individuals construct meaning from aesthetic and social experiences.

Although it may seem like a different field, I also incorporate football as a cultural and social phenomenon, analyzing its symbolic dimension, its impact on collective identity and its relationship with contemporary narrative, passion and community building.

Overall, my approach is interdisciplinary: I seek to connect film with philosophy, music with psychology, history with art, and popular culture with critical thinking. My goal is to help students develop a deeper, more analytical, and more sensitive perspective on the world, beyond the superficial consumption of culture.
