    History for students from starter to intermediate level

    History isn’t always easy. Maybe you just need to get another look on it.
    I’ll give you some tips and tricks to memorize faster and reproduce it like you were in the events.

    I will welcome you in the very interesting world of history. As a student in history I have lots of own books. If you have a book you don’t like, hand it to me and I’ll help you to make it nice ;)

    Private general history course (from middle school to master's level)
    I offer general history courses tailored to the needs of students, from middle school to master's level. The sessions aim to develop both an understanding of major periods and historical issues, as well as the ability to critically analyze sources and events. Depending on the level, courses may focus on reviewing chronological bases, preparing for exams (maturité, baccalauréat, mid-terms), in-depth thematic study (social, political, cultural, international history), or even support for research and writing academic papers. The teaching methods are interactive and personalized: contextualizing key concepts, explaining documents, synthesis exercises, and dissertation practice. The objective is to give students solid tools to understand the issues of the past and develop critical thinking skills that are useful both in their studies and in their daily lives.

    History classes and exam preparation (ESO and Bachillerato)
    History is a discipline that deals with the systematic study of the past, both at a concrete level (regional, period-specific) and at a more general level (as a historical process, encompassing long periods of time). History is crucial for understanding the world we live in, as well as the historical events and processes that most influence us today. In history courses, you'll learn about various periods in history, but we'll also specialize in practical cases that help us understand periods in the past.

    Ukrainian Wars (2014-2025): recent history, roots of the conflicts
    This 60-minute course provides a concise overview of the Ukrainian conflicts since 2014, exploring their complex recent history and deep-seated roots. We will begin by examining the immediate catalysts: the Euromaidan Revolution, Russia's annexation of Crimea, and the initial outbreak of conflict in the Donbas. The course will delve into the intertwined political, historical, and geopolitical factors that underpin the ongoing hostilities, including Ukraine's pursuit of closer ties with the European Union and NATO, Russia's security concerns and imperial ambitions, and the historical narratives shaping national identities. We will trace the evolution of the conflict from the initial phase in Donbas to the full-scale invasion in 2022, analyzing key events, international responses, and the devastating humanitarian consequences. By the end, participants will gain a clearer understanding of the multifaceted origins and trajectory of the Ukrainian wars.

    US & European History for Middle & High School Students
    History is one of the most important subjects for any student to understand. In addition to being part of a student's core curriculum, an understanding of history is essential for viewing the world in an informed manner. Through this course, we will learn about US & European History at the middle and high school levels. Rather than exploring history through dates and memorization, we will view history through the lenses of causation, continuity and change over time, and comparison.

    EU History and Institutions. International Relations.
    This is a class to get a 360 understanding of what is the European Union: origins, institutions, challenges, its place in the international system, its key legal texts. It is a perfect introduction to the topic for young people and adults.

    history, geography, archaeology, 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.

    Private lessons in history over several periods + Academic support
    In my third year of the history faculty at the Jean Moulin Lyon III University, I plan to enroll in a master's degree in medieval history. I want to write a research paper on the French and the Mongols in the 13th century. I would like to go on to write a thesis on the theme of Mongol incursions into Japan (1274 and 1281). The sessions will aim to deepen or discover concepts about a period. I am comfortable with the era: medieval (especially from the 12th-13th century), modern (it all depends on the region and the century) as well as prehistory. I am able to establish a progression curve, as well as adapt the lessons according to the need or simply in relation to the expectations of the student. If necessary, repetitions and accentuations on knowledge can take place. Since I am not yet at the apotheosis of my studies, I will only offer these services to beginners or students (up to high school or first year of history school at the "maximum"). I can also offer help for tests related to the history dissertation or text commentaries, very famous and predominant exercises in studies in the history faculty.
