Hello, I am an American living in Belgium with a Master’s degree in Medieval History (KU Leuven). I offer history lessons in English from general history to more specialized medieval topics for university students, advanced high school students, and anyone interested in learning more about the past. I can help with: • Essay writing and structuring arguments • Exam preparation • Understanding and using historical sources • Topics in medieval European history • General history studies in English Lessons are flexible: we can focus on coursework, improve writing skills, or dive deep into specific interests (like medieval daily life, culture, or politics). I am also open to requests on more specific topics! Open to both one-off sessions and ongoing support whether online or in person. I am based in Leuven so there is always options to meet there as well.
