About Me

I'm a native German speaker and graduated from my MA degree in European Studies at the ULB this year and will start a PhD next year. Until then I have spare time that I would like to use to help out with some private lessons ! I have always had a passion for social science theory and would therefore be happy to teach the basics and more. Often people find it difficult to understand how the structure of an academic paper look like, how to write it, or to structure it or what theoretical framework to use. I can help with that :-) I can explain the basics of philosophy, political science theory, sociology and the big "thinkers". I can also very simply correct papers if needed.

Education

BA: University of Potsdam (Berlin) in Sociology and Political Sciences, University of Copenhagen (Erasmus) in Political Sciences, Université Libre de Bruxelles in European Studies

Experience / Qualifications

I have teaching experience in English and German as a foreign language.
I have moreover a BA degree and MA degree with honours and worked throughout my studies at Universities as a Student Reseach Assitant.
As a native German speaker I am happy to help people perfect what is a bit shaky :-) I thought German at University for about a year in Indonesia. The best way to learn another language is by speaking it ! Lessons from A1 to C1 are possible, for beginners or advanced students of all ages.

A level Economics: Content, Structure and Perfection
A-level Economics is a significant step up from IGCSE and AS-level Economics. It can often seem daunting, leading some students to struggle with the basics and ultimately underperform. In the worst-case scenario, this can even extinguish their interest in a potentially rewarding career path. This course takes an innovative approach to breaking down the fundamentals of economics using real-world examples to foster a deeper understanding of the subject matter. Additionally, students will gain valuable A-level tips and tricks to significantly boost their grades and aim for A* or A. The course is led by Ameer Sarfarazhusain, a first-year student at the University of Warwick. The University is ranked among the top 5 universities in the UK for its Economics course and top 3 for employability in top investment banks. Ameer has over 5 years of experience in student leadership roles and has taught various subjects to high school students. As the founder of the AYEP, he also delivers environmental economics classes to young people across the MENA region. AYEP has even partnered with the United Nations to contribute youth policy inputs to COP28 in Dubai. In conclusion, this course will expertly unravel the complexities of A-level Economics, setting students up for success and potentially opening doors to a fulfilling career.

Global History and Contemporary World News
"Who does not know his story is condemned to relive it ..." is the litany that Marx killed himself to make us understand. In a strong socio-cultural context where the decision of autonomy of the peoples is at the crossroads of the contemporary stakes, not knowing its past has aborted its future. Everyone is capable of being self-taught, yet one needs to have enough self-confidence to dominate a sense of vulnerability combined with a state of fear fostered by years of self-censorship. Hence the need to find a peer with whom to share his experience and his knowledge to enable a lasting social emulation. The modes of learning and expressions are varied, so I can offer you a personalized study plan adapted to your needs. This course is for anyone who wants to have a global approach to world history (involving multiple subjects simultaneously) in a relaxed atmosphere where everyone will leave with the feeling of having learned something for good. In addition, anxious to support my words and your desires, we can make fun outings (museum, conferences, debate ...) to study a case in depth.

Patricia
Thesis and study supervision (bachelor/master), social sciences
Need a thesis or study guidance? I'm happy to help. I graduated in psychology (social psychology and personality psychology) and subsequently completed a lot of academic further training (such as economics, organizational sciences, clinical psychology). With 25+ years of varied work experience at a high level (strategic advice, controlling, purchasing & procurement, contract management, information management), management experience and various research experience, I have a broad frame of reference to help you move forward. I have also guided students in their internships. I can help you with your research design as well as with structuring and writing. In addition, guidance in the area of planning or reflection is also possible. In other words: I like to think along with you.

Sarah
French, history, homework help, work method
As a second-year law student, I have always loved French, which is my mother tongue. I offer my help to help people with some shortcomings in this area. I try to learn in a fun way with mnemonic means. In addition, I am able to teach the French language to a foreign person if it wishes. I love history, so I also give history lessons to anyone who wants it. Regarding the methodology course, I have always been successful in my school career and I therefore offer my services to students with some difficulty in finding which method corresponds to them.

Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.

What is sociology? An introductory course on key concepts
The course entitled ‘What is sociology?’ is taken from a textbook. The textbook is a comprehensive exploration of sociology, aimed at both students and educators. It explores various aspects of sociology and provides a rich understanding of social structures, institutions and their impact on human behaviour and the organisation of society. The course follows the same lines. It will cover, among other topics: 1- **Social structures and institutions** and their complex dynamics as well as institutions, highlighting their profound effects on human behaviour and the organisation of society. The importance of capturing these subtleties in order to better understand the evolution and transformation of society will be emphasised. 2- **Social Change and Movements**: We will explore the formidable forces of social change and the movements that shape human society. These movements reflect the aspirations and struggles of individuals and communities striving for a more equitable world. 3- **Sociology of Religion**: An overview will be given of how religion influences and is influenced by social structures, cultural values and individual experiences. 4- **Research Methodologies**: The essential role of research methodologies in sociology will be highlighted, including quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods, experimental and comparative approaches. These methodologies allow us to uncover valuable information about behaviour, structures and social transformations while respecting ethical principles designed to protect research participants and preserve the integrity of the research. - Historical perspective**: We will also trace the historical trajectory of sociology as a dynamic discipline that adapts to an ever-changing social environment. Various perspectives will be combined to provide a holistic understanding of the social world, and inform initiatives to solve social problems and advocate for social equity. Overall, the course provides a theoretical foundation for understanding key sociological concepts and their application to the analysis and resolution of societal complexities. It will be supplemented by practical exercises in content analysis, text intelligence, etc.

Courses in methodology, law of obligations, European, private international law, administrative litigation.
Law is a plural subject, I offer law courses in particular on methodology, help with course revision as well as support with your homework. My method will be based on a multi-stage learning process that will consist of reviewing the student's revision and work methods while completing their work methods by taking care to reinforce the acquired bases and by deepening the legal concepts that can serve as support for their daily work. I support first-year law students up to Master's level who wish to benefit from methodological support.

Sylvain
Private lessons in maths and work methodology
Having obtained my Engineering degree in June 2018 and currently working as a Software Engineer in an IT company, I want to share my knowledge acquired during my studies with people of all ages in the Brussels region. My goal is to help my students approach the subject from a different angle so that they feel more comfortable and confident. I adapt my lessons to everyone by combining theory, exercises and practical examples. This period is ideal for getting back up to speed and possibly adopting a new working methodology in order to best approach the new school year. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

Bilingualism and Code-Switching: by popular demand
In these neuro-divergent times, the binary division of "one language or two" in bilinguals is perhaps due some contestation, which students are capable of providing. I have always found bilingual production models (and the ubiquitous Powerpoint slide) that university teachers provide a hindrance because of their lack of explicitness and discussion - they are just not relatable as presented nor do they provide much information or examples for monolingual students. Code-switching, a by-product of bilingualism, is now a term that is even found in minority-ethnic neighbourhood grafitti ("can white people code-switch" a found example). Please note that this is a linguistic term, used for switching between two languages, and not between local or social varieties of English. My personal position is that there is no such thing as bilingualism: there is always a language that suffers attrition, and one language that prevails, mostly because of its prestigious standing over the other language. On the other hand, a child exposed to more than one language cannot be truly monolingual. For this course (very popular at universities around Europe both at undergraduate and postgraduate level) we shall go through the terms used to discuss bilingualism, in detail, and then discuss, with the help of published books and articles, who can be considered bilingual (or are we all, one other language lying dormant?). Can bilingualism be defined by the speaker, instead of the "community"? Can it be imposed by the State? Does a bilingual brain function in the same manner as a monolingual brain? These are research questions that emerge as dissertation or thesis topics both at undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
