About Me

I am passionate in teaching, I have an experience of teaching in professional setting before. Having read subjects like Political Science, History, Geography and Economics in-depth as part of my master's and having taught these before, I strongly believe that I will able to teach these subjects in a much more effective way. I follow more of a story-telling method which I believe can improve our understanding and make our basics strong. I am very approaching and I encourage doubts from students as this gives more scope for learning.

Experience / Qualifications

Taught in Aarohan India- Social Science(Geography, History, Political Science and Economics), worked with Indian ministry of women and Child development.
This course will help you understand the basics of both micro and macro economics and will also help you apply these basics to different circumstances around us. I will use a story telling approach and connect the dots between different topics which is very crucial in understanding the subject better.
This course is designed to understand ancient,medieval, modern and world history. History is sometimes treated as a boring subject but most of my students in the past enjoyed this subject as most people forget connecting it with the contemporary world but this will be taught in this course.
Geography provides basics in understanding different subjects and I teach Geography using maps which I believe is useful in getting familiar with different areas in the world. This subject will confuse you if you don't understand the basics, but you will enjoy the subject if it is taught in a right way.
Best educational institutions like LSE,oxford etc are very competitive and getting into them requires a very strategic approach. Being an LSE student, I strongly believe that I have credibility and required understanding to guide you all. By the end of the course, you will be familiar with the process, writing of Statement of Purpose, tailoring your CV and understanding the additional required documents. I will also provide one-on-one feedback for your specific statement of purpose.

Political Science, History and International Studies Classes
History and Political Science are intertwined subjects with multidisciplinary approaches. To study one of these, one must understand the other. I offer classes that teach either of the two subjects, as well as both (if required) with aspect to the other. How often have we wondered about historical events with respect to Politics? Do we know that the Romanovs were related to the British Royal Family and how their brutal killings was shaped by geopolitics of the era, or how Hitler's death was a highly controversial political debate? You see how history and politics cannot be separated. It is also undeniable that having knowledge of the two subjects can help you achieve higher marks and credits, as well as a deeper understanding and passion for the subjects.

Private lessons / preparation for Grandes Ecoles competitions: economics, political science, general culture, English, French
Doctor in political science and graduate in economics (Master), I have been teaching humanities in English and French in various grandes écoles (IEP) and business schools (EDHEC, SKEMA) for more than ten years. Always respectful of the pace and needs of my students, I help them achieve their goals (preparation of files or entrance exams to high school, validation of exams ...) serenely. For ten years, my goal has been the same: to help my students to surpass themselves by communicating to them a deep joy of learning. I suggest you help you refine your file, consolidate your knowledge (general culture, economics or political science) and sharpen your skills (reflection / writing / presentation) so that, rather than arid "tests", your exams become opportunities or occasions to demonstrate your progress.

Help with preparing for the baccalaureate (dissertation and learning methodology, history, French, English, political science)
Hello, my name is Audrey! I am a student in international relations and foreign languages (Chinese) at INALCO and I have just returned from a year and a half in Asia working for French embassies. My studies led me to work on many and very diverse subjects but above all to learn and quickly master many concepts and knowledge! To achieve my goals, I had to develop tips and use methods from the time I was preparing for the BACCALAUREAT. So I know how discouraging, frustrating and even impossible it can sometimes seem to achieve. Also, I propose to support you to help you prepare for and succeed in your baccalaureate in the best conditions! (stress management, oral expression for Grand Oral and language orals, methodology for responding to subjects even when the knowledge is not all known or mastered, etc.). I have had the opportunity to help classmates in the past but also many students now in their learning. I live in Paris and can travel if necessary. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I will be happy to talk with you about your expectations, your objectives and my working method.

Jeena Khan
Teaching International Humanitarian Law at 2 Levels; Intermediate - Advanced
With over one year experience in teaching and a decade long experience with adolescents and young adults, I, herein, present my course in "International Humanitarian Law". In today's globalized world where the effects and repercussions of a conflict are not confined within a single state, it becomes crucial to know what rules are in place that regulate conflict and provide protection to those who are vulnerable. Aiming to mitigate and prevent human suffering in an armed conflict, International Humanitarian Law gives us answers to questions, such as: who can and cannot be targeted and under which conditions; at what times does a protected person lose protection; who is a combatant; what distinguishes a combatant from a civilian; and, what protections are available to those who do not take part in an armed conflict. Amidst the many interstate conflicts, such as, Ukraine-Russia, Iran-Israel and Palestine-Israel conflicts, as well as the intrastate ones, such as in Sudan, having a working knowledge of International Humanitarian Law becomes even more vital as it re-establishes one's trust in law and humanity at such uncertain times as these ones.
