Introduction into Orthodox Church History and Theology

19 € /Std

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

19 € /Std

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.

Philosophy is much more than a simple method; it's a more general way of positioning ourselves, even a way of life. At its core, it's critical thinking and the ability to see beyond what's left unsaid and unclear, and to find information, question, and arrive at a more nuanced vision of the world.

Together we will begin with everyday facts to explore the foundations of philosophy, look for clues in the history of thought and learn to be independent in our critical thinking.

I also support the questioning of major texts and problems posed in literature courses, philosophy courses in middle school, and preparation for the Swiss maturity, see prep for university studies.

NB: Particular interest in feminism to better understand current societal issues is welcome. I reserve the right to refuse any indecent or misogynistic contact.

Certified teacher, French-Spanish dual national, holder of a Master's degree from the University of Paris IV-Sorbonne and the CAPES in History-Geography (2008), teacher-researcher in History, I offer History courses for all levels. With more than twenty years of experience in secondary education, I am perfectly familiar with the official programs and the methodological requirements expected at each level.

My classes aim to consolidate historical knowledge, develop analytical and critical thinking skills, and provide students with solid benchmarks to successfully complete their assessments and progress with confidence. I adapt my teaching methods to each student's specific needs: revision, in-depth study, work methodology, preparation for the brevet, and remediation in case of difficulties.

Serious, patient and passionate, I strive to transmit a taste for History by combining academic rigor and a lively approach to events, in order to make this discipline both accessible and stimulating.

I offer sustainable and individually tailored tutoring in German (including German as a foreign language), literature, and history. Thanks to my many years of experience teaching students of all ages and learning levels, as well as a wide range of personalities, I know how to convey learning material in an understandable, motivating, and structured way.
As a doctoral student with a solid background in linguistics and literature, I quickly recognize where support is needed and respond specifically and sensitively to the needs of each student.
Whether it's tutoring, exam preparation, proofreading, or language practice for adults—my lessons promote not only knowledge, but also the joy of learning and lasting skills in writing, speaking, and understanding German, as well as in dealing with literature and history.

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.
