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.

Serbian language classes for foreign people with MajaSerbian is a rich and expressive language with deep cultural roots. It uses both Cyrillic and Latin alphabets and is phonetic, meaning words are pronounced just as they’re written – a big plus for learners!
Here’s why learning Serbian is a great idea:
Cultural Access – Understand Serbian literature, music, and film in their original form.
Travel and Connection – Connect more deeply with locals when visiting Serbia or the Balkans.
Gateway Language – It helps in learning other Slavic languages like Croatian, Bosnian, or Russian.
Unique Skill – Fewer people learn Serbian, so it stands out in business, diplomacy, or academia.
Serbian isn’t just a language – it’s a doorway to a rich world of tradition, humor, and human connection.
