Art and Politics: companion studies for A level and undergraduate Art History.
The class will chart the development of European, American and International art history from 1900 to the present day, beginning with Post-Impressionism and its off-springs Cubism and Expressionism, the move into Abstraction post-war, to Conceptualism and Minimalism of the 1960s and 1970s which still have significant relevance in today's Contemporary art world. The focus will be on the wider political issues that impacted art history of the time, thereby using art history as a novel and unique lens through which we can gauge world history events, and its politics, in a potentially new and interesting light.

About Me
Having run my own art dealership business for almost 20 years, I recently returned to university and completed an MA in Art and Politics at Goldsmiths College in London. This is a new career for me, teaching and tutoring Art History, and my skills lie in assisting students in research and writing projects. I currently mentor EPQ students through the charity Art History Link Up as they undergo their first long piece of writing, a skill that is essential at university and beyond. I am also completing a TEFL level 5 course which will enable me to help international students in their written English.Education

Learn and improve to speak Italian with a real FlorentineDo you love Italian people, history, and food and you would like to speak the language?
I am a CEDILS-certified Italian teacher born and raised in Florence, and I've also been a language student myself for a long time! If you want to be able to interact with Italians quickly, I can give you some tips about correct pronunciation, fundamental grammar, and vocabulary, but also Italian art and popular culture, which I think is fundamental to understanding the mentality and the country that you are going to interact with.
Lessons will be tailored according to the student's needs, level, and mother language and focused on the conversation.
I am also available to proofread your writings.

Private lessons in HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY, HOMEWORK HELPI adapt to the profile of each intern or student according to their objective and level.
The goal is not to work endless hours, but to show how to be able to work alone or partially independently in a short time.
It is always a pleasure for me to be recognized in the street 15 years after classes, and to be thanked for having provided a real service to the person concerned.
This activity is a passion of mine that I have been pursuing since I was 16 years old.
I hope to be able to share it with you to prepare effectively, by significantly reducing your legitimate apprehension of exams.

Political Communication, Public Speaking, and PresentationThe 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.
▪️ Based on the student’s request, this course may also include some skills in Marketing, Promotion, Digital Optimization, and SEO, where you will earn:
• An integrated digital marketing strategy based on your own organizational context.
• Skills to effectively analyze and leverage data to make breakthrough data-driven decisions.
• A future perspective on marketing and an overview of how to use emerging digital channels and technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and chatbots, within your organization.
• Accept the challenges and opportunities of disruptive technology in your digital marketing strategy.

Political Belief Systems: An Introduction to IdeologyEveryone 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.

Italian language course. Learning a new language is always a challenge, so we will get there in small steps.Italian is the language of literature, of bel canto, and the language of one of the most beautiful countries in the world. In my course we will start with the linguistic and phonetic basics to then advance to more complex writings. You will practice speaking and correct pronunciation, to then arrive at written exercises, which you will also have to do at home to better assimilate the contents.

Personalized history and social studies classes. Grading and tutoring of practical work. Academic and secondary levels.I am a history teacher, having graduated with honors from UNLu and honored by the National Academy of History as the highest national average. I have been focused on private education for over half a decade, both at the academic and secondary levels.
Beyond my specific academic training, I have been dedicated to the study of history and social sciences for 20 years (and to the creation of a library—of almost 2,000 volumes—that is available to students: if any material is required, it is digitized and sent).
I specialize in ancient history, medieval history, Argentine history, history of religions, and more. I have extensive knowledge of philosophy, theology, and the history of ideas. I also teach classes in politics, sociology, anthropology, art history, economics, and other social sciences that make up the corpus of history as a discipline.
In addition to teaching highly prepared and personalized classes, he can also guide, direct, and assist in the creation of practical projects or dissertations, whether group or individual.
For academic or school work, grammar and style corrections are also provided, along with tutoring to ensure the work is perfect.
Classes are delivered in a constructive manner, with the key focus being on students truly understanding the subject matter, developing an interest in it, and discovering how their daily lives connect with what they are studying. Beyond academic depth and the presentation of the subject matter, a fruitful dialogue between professor and student is highly valued.
This is my particular approach to teaching, but it may vary depending on the needs of each student.
I'm also interested in sharing study techniques—beyond the specific topic we're going to cover—that adapt to each student's needs, since it's not just what you study that's important, but how you study it.

Finally, the class prices shown in the ad are averaged and referential; the type of work to be done, the number of classes, and the different dynamics and realities make it difficult for me to come up with a "fixed" price for the classes. Teaching is an eminently human service, not a trade in goods. Therefore: contact me and let's talk.
