Tocqueville's "land of religious madness" against a gentle faith.
Ethnicity and race in American life.

The way things are, are because of how they were. History offers the greatest data set for us to make hypotheses on how we should organize our society and the means we use to maintain and grow it. In this class, we will choose the time periods and locations you are interested in (or have to study for), and do a deep dive on the How's and Why's of those historical events. Using multimedia approaches, such as drawing exercises, maps, historical documents, and more this course will help you:
1. Remember and commit to memory historical events and details
2. Understand the ideas and inventions that transformed the way we interact
3. Write better essays by better structuring and analyzing your ideas
4. Get acquainted with basic to intermediate Economic theories
5. Confidently present your ideas
6. Connect far off historical events to your local culture

With several years of experience as a student tutor, I offer to give lessons to students from sixth grade to twelfth grade, with the aim of support, homework help, reinforcement or in-depth study of concepts.
The lessons are fun, based on the needs and expectations of the student, with whom I spend time discussing in order to develop the working method together.
Although I place great importance on learning and understanding concepts, I also focus on improving the student's learning methods.
Typical structure of a one-hour lesson (duration and content may vary depending on individual needs)
-10 minutes of questions and discussion on the difficulties related to the last session.
-Divided into two 20-minute parts, with two different themes to vary the concepts covered, with both theoretical and practical work.
-10 final minutes devoted to any questions and reflection on the themes to be addressed in the next session.

This series of lessons is intended for students and professionals who wish to develop a strong and structured understanding of the law. Depending on your needs, I can cover core topics such as contract law, liability law, criminal law, constitutional law, and so on. The lessons aim to help you understand not only what the law is, but also why it exists and how it is applied. You will delve into important legal cases, legal principles, and doctrinal debates, and learn how to interpret rulings and connect legal rules to and apply them in real-world situations.

In addition to the basic topics, the lessons can also be expanded into specialist areas such as technology law, media and entertainment law, intellectual property, legal philosophy, or whatever your interests may be—thereby offering a more detailed, specialized, and interdisciplinary perspective.

Each session is interactive and tailored to your needs—whether it involves simplifying difficult topics, reviewing past exams, or preparing for assignments, tests, or work projects. By the end of the series, you will be able to read legal cases with confidence, understand legal reasoning, and approach the law as a coherent, logical system rather than a collection of disconnected rules.

Who is this intended for:
Law students (bachelor or master)
Students preparing for exams or assignments
Professionals who want to delve into specific fields
Anyone who wants to build or refresh a strong foundation in legal subjects
