From 52.58 € /h

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.

Is your hobby watching movies? Are you addicted to Netflix? What if you chose to study them outright? Trained in cinematographic analysis and aggregated in visual arts, I offer a course in the history of cinema. We will approach the main trends of cinematographic history compared with art history.

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.

Greek Art A-Z is a journey into the world of Modern Greek Art & culture from the independence of the Greek State to the present times.
We will explore together all the important artistic creations and set them in their historical and social context, in order to understand their coherence, establish the direct relationship between art and the cultural evolution of each period, and connect Art with life.
Art, whether it serves religion, beliefs, ideals, passions, ambitions, hopes, or the need for communication, is a unique aesthetic experience combining myth with history and science.
The course also includes guest lecturers and artists talks as well as visits to museums, galleries and ateliers.

*Trips and in situ lectures for students in Athens or virtual tours for the web students.

Presentations, texts, images, videos, virtual collections, documentaries, gallery & museum visits*

Language: Greek, English

I am a Spanish teacher for foreigners with 6 years of experience in Secondary Education and private Spanish classes. I try to focus my classes with a wide range of activities and games that motivate students without overwhelming them, and with an attempt at cultural immersion that supports language learning. In my classes, I coordinate different resources, including technology (learning platforms through games, etc.). I also have experience preparing students for GCSE exams at levels A1-B2.
I provide the same approach to my History/Art History classes.
