Making History Make Sense: Tutoring History for High School

Struggling with history or social studies classes? Want to boost your grades or prep for a big exam? This 1-on-1 tutoring course is designed just for high school students who want to get more confident, more capable, and maybe even learn to enjoy history along the way.

Whether you're taking World History, U.S. History, APUSH, AP World, or AP Euro, I tailor each session to your goals. We’ll go beyond memorizing dates, focusing instead on understanding historical arguments, writing clear essays, and analyzing sources like a pro.

This is a flexible support session; bring your assignments, readings, study guides, essays, or questions, and we’ll work through them together. Not sure where to start? I can also help you build foundational skills over time.

You’ll learn how to:
- Break down primary and secondary sources
- Write strong, structured essays
- Make connections between historical events and big themes
- Build better study strategies and review materials
- Prepare for tests with confidence and clarity

I hold a B.A. in History and Music with research honors, and I specialize in making complex topics clear, relevant, and student-friendly. Whether you need help on one assignment or ongoing support all semester, I’m here to help you succeed.

About Me

Hello! I’m a passionate and experienced history and music educator. For history, I have a special focus on the history of science, medicine, and technology. In regards to music, I am trained in classical music history, but can branch out! Whether you're preparing for exams, exploring academic interests, or just love learning, my goal is to make the past come alive in ways that feel relevant, human, and inspiring.

History isn’t just about dates — it’s about people, ideas, and how we got to where we are today. If you’re curious, preparing for an academic goal, or want to dig into a specific topic, I’d love to work with you. Book a lesson and let’s explore history in a way that matters to you.

I hold a strong background in research and teaching, with particular expertise in topics like the Spanish Flu, Black Death, public health history, and the technologies that changed the world. If interested in how music plays a role in disease, I can add that to the lecture! My classes are interactive, discussion-based, and designed to be custom-tailored to your learning goals.

From the Black Death to COVID-19, epidemics have done more than spread illness — they’ve reshaped societies, restructured power, accelerated science, and transformed how we live. In this personalized, one-on-one course, we’ll examine the global history of disease and uncover how outbreaks have built and broken systems across time. Using primary sources, historical documents, visual media, propaganda, art, and medical texts, we’ll explore how different societies understood, feared, fought disease, and what those responses can teach us about the modern world. Each lesson focuses on a specific disease or pandemic, such as: - The Black Death and early public health - The Spanish Flu and wartime censorship - Cholera, sanitation, and the modern city - Tuberculosis and the romanticization of illness - HIV/AIDS, activism, and inequality - COVID-19 in historical perspective What you’ll gain: - A deeper understanding of disease as a force in world history - Tools to analyze historical sources and narratives - Connections between past and present public health responses - Insight into how memory, fear, and resilience shape our collective story This course is ideal for students of history, public health, or anyone curious about how disease has helped build — and challenge — the modern world.
What makes Baroque music different from Romantic? How did Mozart, Beethoven, and Stravinsky change the sound of the world? In this course, we’ll explore the major eras of Western classical music, from the ornate harmonies of the Baroque to the bold, theory-breaking works of the 20th century. Each lesson focuses on a different time period or movement, introducing key composers, musical styles, and the historical and cultural forces that shaped the sound of each era. This class is designed to be accessible and engaging, NOT theory heavy. No formal music training is required. We’ll focus on listening, storytelling, and historical context, helping you connect with music as both an art form and a reflection of its time. We’ll explore each period using musical excerpts, visual art, cultural history, and key ideas — with room for discussion, questions, and student interests. Topics Included: - Baroque Era: Bach, Vivaldi, sacred music, ornamentation, court life - Classical Era: Mozart, Haydn, balance, Enlightenment ideals - Romantic Era: Beethoven, Chopin, nationalism, emotion, revolution - Impressionism & Modernism: Debussy, Stravinsky, fragmentation, innovation - 20th Century and Beyond: Minimalism, film scores, electronic music, global voices Learning Goals: - How to identify musical styles and characteristics by era - Key composers and the cultural movements they reflected - How to listen critically and understand music’s relationship to its time - Confidence discussing music without needing formal training or theory background This class is perfect for music students, history lovers, or anyone curious about the evolution of classical music — and the stories it tells.
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

Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacher
I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years. The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies. I have a perfect knowledge of the mathematics program of the College and the High School (from the Sixth to the Terminale). During my formative years, I studied and developed many techniques that make it easier to learn math. The strength of my pedagogical approach lies in my ability to explain in a simple way everything that the student finds complicated. I am passionate about this job because it gives me the opportunity to guide dropout students on the path to success. It is a real pleasure to see them evolve and come to terms with the fantastic world of mathematics. I provide my private lessons in Limoges (at the student's home) or remotely (online via the internet). My distance learning courses take place on an interactive online whiteboard. This board is specially designed to promote student/teacher interaction on the internet. Thanks to this educational tool, my online courses are as effective as home courses. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to take advantage of it.
