Translated by GoogleSee original

From 54.56 Fr /h

We will begin with your perspective and understanding of the United States. We will discuss current events and dig into their roots. I will recommend things to read, watch, or study between sessions. Then we will continue the discussion.

Among many other topics, we will explore these:

World order based on free trade versus protectionism.
Democracy versus property.
American identity.
Tocqueville's "land of religious madness" against a gentle faith.
Ethnicity and race in American life.
A globally deployed army against an insular worldview.
I went to the moon; Now what?
Globalization.
The American Dream." What was it? What is it now?
Trump!?
The United States and the future.

Passionate about history, I am at your disposal for any help you would need to organize and study your EDM / geography / human sciences courses. Focusing on efficiency, I make sure that the study relies as much as possible on current events in order to make it alive and relevant. All seriously, but always in a good mood.

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.

Do you find history and geography boring subjects? That's because you haven't contacted me yet. In these classes, I'll make studying the ancient Spanish monarchy, democratic governments, dictatorships, republics, wars, and everything related to them fun. Of course, I won't neglect another very important subject: geography. I'll teach you everything you want to know about it, including how drones work and their features!
Do not hesitate to contact me.

This class helps students who want to improve their French and Spanish speaking, grammar, and understanding. As a fluent French speaker with an international background, I focus on real world dialogue. Spanish and History are my college minors. I've been studying both and speaking with natives for 14 years.

In my course I help with pronunciation practice, explain grammar, conversational situations, and culture to help students better understand what being French really means.

Whether you are learning French Spanish or History for school, travel, or personal interest, I structure every session to the student’s level and goals.
