Présentation

Hello! I’m a passionate and experienced history and music educator. For history, I have a special focus on the history of science, medicine, and technology. In regards to music, I am trained in classical music history, but can branch out! Whether you're preparing for exams, exploring academic interests, or just love learning, my goal is to make the past come alive in ways that feel relevant, human, and inspiring.

History isn’t just about dates — it’s about people, ideas, and how we got to where we are today. If you’re curious, preparing for an academic goal, or want to dig into a specific topic, I’d love to work with you. Book a lesson and let’s explore history in a way that matters to you.

I hold a strong background in research and teaching, with particular expertise in topics like the Spanish Flu, Black Death, public health history, and the technologies that changed the world. If interested in how music plays a role in disease, I can add that to the lecture! My classes are interactive, discussion-based, and designed to be custom-tailored to your learning goals.

Empires of Epidemics: Disease History and Its Influence on Modern Life

25 $ /h

From the Black Death to COVID-19, epidemics have done more than spread illness — they’ve reshaped societies, restructured power, accelerated science, and transformed how we live. In this personalized, one-on-one course, we’ll examine the global history of disease and uncover how outbreaks have built and broken systems across time.

Using primary sources, historical documents, visual media, propaganda, art, and medical texts, we’ll explore how different societies understood, feared, fought disease, and what those responses can teach us about the modern world.

Each lesson focuses on a specific disease or pandemic, such as:
- The Black Death and early public health
- The Spanish Flu and wartime censorship
- Cholera, sanitation, and the modern city
- Tuberculosis and the romanticization of illness
- HIV/AIDS, activism, and inequality
- COVID-19 in historical perspective

What you’ll gain:
- A deeper understanding of disease as a force in world history
- Tools to analyze historical sources and narratives
- Connections between past and present public health responses
- Insight into how memory, fear, and resilience shape our collective story

This course is ideal for students of history, public health, or anyone curious about how disease has helped build — and challenge — the modern world.

The Sound of History: An introduction to the History of Western Classical Music

25 $ /h

What makes Baroque music different from Romantic? How did Mozart, Beethoven, and Stravinsky change the sound of the world? In this course, we’ll explore the major eras of Western classical music, from the ornate harmonies of the Baroque to the bold, theory-breaking works of the 20th century. Each lesson focuses on a different time period or movement, introducing key composers, musical styles, and the historical and cultural forces that shaped the sound of each era.

This class is designed to be accessible and engaging, NOT theory heavy. No formal music training is required. We’ll focus on listening, storytelling, and historical context, helping you connect with music as both an art form and a reflection of its time. We’ll explore each period using musical excerpts, visual art, cultural history, and key ideas — with room for discussion, questions, and student interests.

Topics Included:
- Baroque Era: Bach, Vivaldi, sacred music, ornamentation, court life
- Classical Era: Mozart, Haydn, balance, Enlightenment ideals
- Romantic Era: Beethoven, Chopin, nationalism, emotion, revolution
- Impressionism & Modernism: Debussy, Stravinsky, fragmentation, innovation
- 20th Century and Beyond: Minimalism, film scores, electronic music, global voices

Learning Goals:
- How to identify musical styles and characteristics by era
- Key composers and the cultural movements they reflected
- How to listen critically and understand music’s relationship to its time
- Confidence discussing music without needing formal training or theory background

This class is perfect for music students, history lovers, or anyone curious about the evolution of classical music — and the stories it tells.

I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years.

The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies.

I have a thorough knowledge of the mathematics curriculum for middle and high school (from 6th to 12th grade). I am also qualified to support students in preparing for international exams such as the SAT, the OMPT, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) in all its variations: Analysis and Approaches (AA SL/HL) and Applications and Interpretation (AI SL/HL).

Throughout my years of training, I studied and developed numerous techniques that facilitate learning mathematics. The strength of my teaching approach lies in my ability to explain, in simple terms, anything a student finds complicated. I am passionate about this profession because it offers me the opportunity to guide struggling students toward success. It is a true pleasure to see them progress and rediscover their connection with the fascinating world of mathematics.

I offer private tutoring in Paris (at the student's home) or remotely (online). My online lessons take place on an interactive whiteboard. This whiteboard is specifically designed to facilitate student/teacher interaction online. Thanks to this teaching tool, my online lessons are just as effective as in-person lessons. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to participate.
