Introduction into Orthodox Church History and Theology

31.56 C$ /h

This course offers a foundational overview of the history and theology of the Orthodox Church, tracing its development from the apostolic age through the Byzantine era to modern times. Students will explore key events, figures, councils, and theological themes that have shaped Orthodox Christianity, including the early ecumenical councils, the Great Schism, the role of monasticism, and the experience of Orthodoxy under Ottoman and Communist rule. The course will also introduce central theological concepts such as the Trinity, the Incarnation, the sacraments, theosis (deification), and the liturgical life of the Church. Combining historical analysis with theological reflection, the course provides students with a deep and coherent understanding of the Orthodox tradition in its historical and spiritual context.

Byzantine - Church History, Theology and the Heritage

31.56 C$ /h

This course explores the rich theological tradition of Byzantium, focusing on the development of Eastern Orthodox thought from the early Church Fathers through the fall of Constantinople in 1453. We will examine key themes such as the Trinity, Christology, the role of icons, liturgy, apophatic theology, and the relationship between Church and Empire. Major theologians—such as Gregory of Nazianzus, Maximus the Confessor, John of Damascus, and Gregory —will be studied in their historical and spiritual context. Through close reading of primary texts and modern interpretations, students will gain a deeper understanding of how Byzantine theology shaped the life and identity of Eastern Christianity and continues to resonate in contemporary theological discourse.

Passionate about history, I am at your disposal for any help you would need for the writing of your presentations, end of studies and dissertations in EDM / geography / human sciences and French. Favoring efficiency, I restructure and correct your texts (or your courses) to make your subjects as alive as possible. All seriously, but always in a good mood.

I commit myself to correct you and to send the tests regularly after having fixed a schedule of work. But you remain responsible and master of your TFE / memory. In my opinion, teamwork remains the key to success.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me, I will answer in all circumstances!

Bonjour,

Actuellement enseignant depuis quelques années, je peux vous aider à apprendre plusieurs matières très diverses liées aux Sciences humaines et sociales : Histoire, Géographie, Formation historique et géographique, Sciences sociales, Sciences économiques, Sciences humaines et Droit.

Titulaire d'un master en Histoire, d'un master en Sciences politiques et d'un baccalauréat universitaire en Droit, l'interdisciplinarité à automatiquement une place prépondérante dans mes cours, que j'aime ponctuer de quelques anecdotes à l'occasion... L'apprentissage doit rester sérieux, mais doit aussi se faire de manière ludique et amusante.

Je suis très patient, à l'écoute et je fais en sorte que mes étudiants soient le plus à l'aise possible. J'essaye de donner un maximum d'exemples très concrets afin d'illustrer mes matières, issus de mon parcours et de mes expériences extra-professionnelles.

À bientôt !

Having grown up in the UK (from three months to five and a half years) and speaking English daily, I am able to teach both correct and authentic English to adults and children alike. As a graduate of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Geneva, which has particularly high standards for fluency, I am also qualified to teach French, including grammar, conjugation, and vocabulary, to students up to the secondary level (Gymnasium) and to adults learning French as a foreign language (FLE). Finally, I can also teach History (all periods), which is one of my Bachelor's degree specializations along with Philosophy and my Master's degree field of study (Transnational History), regardless of the student's age.

History courses do not just teach you about past events; they teach you how to find information and process it to determine whether or not you can trust it, but above all, why.
French is my native language, so for me it's simple, but since I've been teaching it, I've learned it's not quite so simple, so I would be delighted to teach it to you. French remains a language with a significant number of speakers worldwide; it will always be useful to you!

A l'occasion de nouveaux concours, il est essentiel d'approfondir ses connaissance en culture générale et aussi de l'actualité géopolitique. Il faut aussi mettre en évidence que la culture générale et la méthodologie sont primordiales pour une bonne appréhension des enjeux actuels.

I offer tutoring tailored to all levels, from primary school to post-secondary studies, as well as to adults. The courses are suitable for students needing occasional support as well as those experiencing more persistent difficulties, including students with special needs.

Each lesson begins with an analysis of the student's needs and objectives. The work focuses on understanding the material, reviewing fundamental concepts if necessary, practicing through targeted exercises, and developing effective study methods. I pay particular attention to adapting the pace and explanations to each student's individual learning style.

Drawing on my experience in schools, private tutoring, and specialized settings, I prioritize a supportive, structured, and challenging approach aimed at strengthening students' understanding, independence, and confidence. Lessons can be conducted in person or online, depending on individual needs.

Chaque cours se déroule de manière structurée et adaptée au niveau de la personne. Nous commençons par une révision des notions précédentes pour consolider les acquis, suivie d’explications claires et détaillées des nouvelles notions. Des exercices pratiques et des tests sont proposés pour mettre en application ce qui a été appris et vérifier la compréhension. Je propose également des interrogations régulières et des points de suivi pour évaluer la progression et ajuster le rythme des séances. L’objectif est de combiner théorie et pratique, tout en favorisant la confiance et l’autonomie, pour que chaque séance soit efficace et motivante.

I am a master's student at the Sorbonne. After two years of preparatory classes, I completed a bachelor's degree in Humanities and History. My studies instilled in me a sense of rigor and hard work.
Today I would like to help and share my knowledge; and show that difficulties do not prevent success.

I already have several years of experience as a teacher

Titulaire d’une licence en histoire, journalisme et science politique, et actuellement étudiant en droit, j’ai développé une approche transversale des sciences sociales.

Au fil de mon parcours universitaire, j’ai acquis une bonne connaissance des attentes des enseignants, des difficultés rencontrées par les élèves et étudiants, ainsi que des méthodes réellement efficaces pour progresser.

Mon accompagnement repose sur des méthodes concrètes : apprendre à retenir l’essentiel, organiser efficacement ses révisions, structurer un raisonnement clair et répondre précisément aux attentes des correcteurs.

J’interviens aussi bien pour la méthodologie de la dissertation et du commentaire de documents que pour la préparation aux examens et concours (bac, partiels universitaires, concours d’entrée).
