    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    We will begin with your perspective and understanding of the United States. We will discuss current events and dig into their roots. I will recommend things to read, watch, or study between sessions. Then we will continue the discussion.

    World order based on free trade versus protectionism.
    Democracy versus property.
    American identity.
    Tocqueville's "land of religious madness" against a gentle faith.
    Ethnicity and race in American life.
    A globally deployed army against an insular worldview.
    I went to the moon; Now what?
    Globalization.
    The American Dream." What was it? What is it now?
    Trump!?
    The United States and the future.

I hold Bachelor's Degrees in both History and Political Science (from the University of Florida), as well as a Master's in Political Science, specifically European Politics (from KU Leuven). I have extensive experience in a wide range of historical and political subjects and have always had a keen interest in history and the social sciences. Additionally, previously I have been a journalist (dealing with Competition Law) and currently am an editor working on a wide variety of subjects for organizations such as the UNHCR and Goethe Institut, among others. I am capable of teaching and lecturing on numerous historical and political events and periods in history, with myself having specialized in European history, American history, African history, as well as the Medieval period and Antiquity.

    History and geopolitics courses in middle and high school
    Learn the methodology in dissertation and document analysis from middle school as well as high school. This is what is present in History Geography and in the HGGSP specialty, and I offer courses aimed, in addition to helping the learning of courses in these subjects, to put it into practice in an exercise with a built methodology. It is this methodology that I teach, in order to provide the student with independence. I can also provide homework help in these classes, as well as re-explain and repeat poorly understood course points. As for speaking in public, it is necessary for the oral exams at the end of high school. I have been part of a debate group for 3 years and have acquired a certain mastery there. I am a student in high school, in the final year and I already have experience in helping with homework in my high school. I also chose the HGGSP specialty (geopolitics and political science) in second and I obtained my baccalaureate in this subject.

    Political Communication, Public Speaking, and Presentation
    The course module is adapted to the student. The summary will be communicated during the first lesson. I teach you to speak and/or write with an approach to the sciences of political communication, international relations, social and human sciences while convincing the person(s) in front of you with several negotiation techniques. ▪️ Political communication is about the creation and exchange of ideas and opinions between citizens, public officials, political institutions, and related entities, such as the media. It includes discourse throughout the political process in local, state, national, and international political systems, as well as how political information can be exploited for political ends or to achieve political goals. People with a background in political communication may work in policy advice, foreign service, market research, public relations, journalism, and digital media, community organizing, lobbying, political campaigning, or other related fields. ▪️ The techniques used will improve your level of confidence in your public presentations and storytelling. ▪️ BUT! in order to achieve your goal you must master public speaking which is the process or act of giving a speech in front of a live audience. Public speaking is generally understood to be formal, face to face, speaking from a single person to a group of listeners.

    Courses in Philosophy, Ethics and Critical Thinking
    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.

    History, geography, political science, geopolitics and English courses (preparation for the bac hggsp amc for example)
    History and geography courses are essential to understand the world around us and also represent a strong coefficient in studies (before the baccalaureate). These subjects are also a key source of general culture, it is important to nourish them. Moreover, English, especially in our time, allows us to travel but also to be able to express ourselves with as many people as possible. This language is also highly valued in the world of work and opens many doors to those who speak it correctly. Thanks to my interest in these subjects in high school, but also the depth that I maintain for these subjects even today in higher education, I am in a position to give lessons to students (up to the baccalaureate) I got 18/20 in hggsp (history, geography, political science and geopolitics) in my baccalaureate, and 17/20 in amc (English) as well as 20/20 in my English oral exam in my baccalaureate.
