Political Belief Systems: An Introduction to Ideology

Van 20.9 € /h

Everyone who engages with politics (which is to say, everyone) has an ideology. But not everyone is conscious of- let alone consistent in their ideology. In fact, most people’s conscious politics are nothing more than an inconsistent aesthetic. But anyone who has a world they long to see owes it to themselves to at least be self aware of their own ideology, and they should probably also familiarize themselves with others as well. I can help on both fronts.

This 10-session class serves as an introduction to the concept of political ideology. We will begin with a brief overview to various major academic theories of ideology, before moving on to a taxonomical survey of different ideological genuses and families, both “thick-centered” ideologies, that is, ideologies with a comprehensive core specific enough that they can stand on their own as it were, such as liberalism, conservatism, socialism, and fascism, and “thin centered” ideologies, which have much broader and hence much less specific cores, and hence must attach themselves to other thick centered host ideologies in order to fully manifest themselves, such as populism, nationalism, feminism, and ecologism.

Worldbuilding for Creative Writers and Dungeon Masters

20.03 € /h

Worldbuilding is the art of creating settings for your stories, whether they be written and published, or role-played out by a Dungeons and Dragons or other TTRPG group. Stories are fun, but they’re funner if you build the world in which they take place well. I can help you with that, especially when it comes to creating compelling, realistic, and/or thematic fictional histories, politics, and societies.

I'm an Italian native speaker from Venice, Italy.
My country is quite diverse, known by many and yet often its funding elements and its culture are misrepresented and oversimplified. Language is key to get to know another culture, its history and political institutions.
With this course you will learn the basics of the Italian idiom and at the same time you will be given tools and suggestions on how to familiarize and start understanding contemporary Italian culture and its political landscape.

Daarnaast ben ik in staat Turks, Arabisch (zowel beginner niveau als gevorderd), filosofie en religiewetenschappen gerelateerde onderwerpen te doceren. Bij religiewetenschappen ligt mijn specialiteit voornamelijk bij islamitische systematische theologie.

I am a third year law student at the Université Saint-Louis (trilingual major in fr-en-nl). Passionate about my studies, I have been giving private lessons for several years. I am also interested in questions of university methodology. Thus, I have already been participating for several years in success assistance programs, as a "tutor" or as an accompanist for homework help. My former students say of me that I am diligent and methodical.
I have a particular interest in public law but I can also help with private law courses, as well as language courses. Being currently doing an additional bachelor's degree in philosophy, I can also assist students who have questions for non-legal courses (philosophy, sociology, etc.).
My curriculum has allowed me for several years to have part of my classes in another language, English or Dutch, so I can help on that level as well!

I took Global Politics at Higher Level and I currently study International Relations at university. I came out with a 6 but with hindsight and more knowledge from my current studies, I think I can help you improve in Global Politics. The assessments for Global Politics also involve a lot of writing and therefore my experience as a Writing Support Provider will also help.

Whether you are seeking to strengthen your understanding, enhance your essay writing skills, or if you need help with homework and revision, I am here to provide personalised tutoring to assist you in any way.

As I have completed A-Level Politics and am soon to embark on a politics degree at university, this will be tailored to A-Level Students. However, if you or your child are not an A-Level student but would still like my help, please feel free to contact me to facilitate further discussion. I am very happy to tutor beginners of any age.

My experience as a tutor, particularly working with individuals with dyslexia and slow processing, enables me to provide effective and supportive tutoring to all students. We can cover the entire A-Level Politics curriculum or focus on specific sections that you find challenging.

Please contact me with any questions!

Philosophy follows wisdom. This class will explore a panorama of philosophical texts through the poetic diction of stories and myths. Offering close-readings and lectures from Heraclitus to Shakespeare, Kierkegaard to Ávila, students are invited to engage and formulate new ideas. Personal requests are very welcome in consultation.

Being a native French speaker with a Bachelor’s in Literature and Philosophy, I can help you learn French in all its forms: oral and written comprehension, speaking and writing.
I have already given classes to many pupils (6 in total) so I have a good experience of giving classes. I am also flexible, so I can adapt to your needs and to your schedule.
Having obtained a Bachelor’s in Literature and Philosophy, I can also teach students how to analyse literary and philosophical texts in both English and French. I already helped students obtain their French Baccalaureate with very satisfying grades (17/20 for example).
If you have any questions or needs, I am open and ready to answer any questions very rapidly!

Hello there!

Do you need help with IB or IGCSE Economics, English or Politics? Are teachers just not enough? Well then, let me help you!

My name is Lauend, a student pursuing a BSc in Political Science. I am an experienced tutor specializing in IB and IGCSE Economics, English, and Politics, with a strong academic background and a student-centred teaching approach.

Having completed both IGCSE and the International Baccalaureate, I understand these curricula from the inside—not just in terms of content, but in how examiners think, how mark schemes are structured, and where students commonly lose marks. This allows me to teach strategically, with a clear focus on exam performance, conceptual understanding, and long-term academic confidence.

I already have hands-on tutoring experience with students at different ability levels, ranging from those aiming to consolidate core knowledge to high-achievers targeting top grades. Each student receives a curated learning plan, adapted to their strengths, weaknesses, pace, and academic goals. I have taught and supported IGCSE and IB DP students at schools such as the Amsterdam International Community School and the Rotterdam International Secondary School.

Through my holistic, tailor-made tutoring for each student, I can help you not only achieve higher marks in IB and IGCSE, but also (and more importantly) understand and apply these subjects in the real world, a useful skill that will become increasingly valuable throughout life.

Whether you’re aiming to boost your grades, sharpen your essays, or finally feel confident walking into exams, I’m here to help make the process clearer, calmer, and more effective.

This private class offers an exploration into rich and complex tapestry that is Chinese culture. Based on your interest, you'll learn more about Chinese history, philosophy, traditional and modern Chinese society, literature, religion, etc.

With China's importance on the international stage growing incessantly, I believe it's very useful to understand the Chinese way of thinking, to develop awareness of cultural sensitivities and to gain some insight in the history that structures China's perspective on the world.

Originally structured as a lecture-based course, the content can also be restructured into a more interactive learning design. Whether you're interested in ancient classical philosophy, dynastic history, modern Chinese society and popculture or the economic development of China, this course has something to offer.

Classes with me is specific to each's needs.
As per the need or requirements of the student, the classes will be designed. For Example: the length of each class, the kind of sessions.

Session and the course length can be decided as per the need of the student and mutual consent

Besides the conventional theme of a language class I offer out of the box 🎁 learning experience to each student which makes learning more positive and last longer for the betterment of the receiver.

I teach and understand the concern of each student before the beginning of any session and plan a blueprint for my students individually as every case is unique. I propose to discuss this before we begin and make the necessary changes of required. I like to personalize the learning sessions and length according to the student.
