Understanding Politics - the challenges and opportunities at understanding how it effects us

I offer classes on History, Geography, and Political Science, with over 11 years' of experience in these subjects, both professionally and academically. 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.

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. ▪️ The techniques used will improve your level of confidence in your public presentations and storytelling. ▪️ 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. ▪️ 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.

International Relations (IR) is the study of interactions between countries, focusing on diplomacy, conflict, and cooperation in a globalized world. It explores key theories, such as realism, liberalism, and constructivism, to understand the behavior of states, international organizations, and non-state actors. IR also examines global issues like security, trade, human rights, and environmental challenges, offering insights into the dynamics shaping international affairs.

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.

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.

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.

My teaching style is student-centered and adaptive, focusing on making learning both enjoyable and highly effective. I believe in creating an interactive and supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and engaging in discussions. I tailor lessons to meet each student's unique learning style, combining real-world examples, visual aids, and structured exercises to simplify complex topics. My goal is to build a strong conceptual foundation while encouraging critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Having excelled in the IB Diploma myself, achieving 6s and 7s in all the subjects I teach at higher level—Economics, Politics and, English Language and Literature —I know firsthand what it takes to succeed in the program. I understand the pressure students face and provide guidance on both mastering content and developing strong exam strategies, including time management and familiarity with past papers. My students benefit from my deep subject knowledge and my passion for helping them achieve their best potential. Many of my students have shown marked improvement in both their confidence and academic performance. Whether you aim to boost your grades, prepare for exams, or better understand the material, I am committed to helping you succeed.

For any A-level students who are looking for further help with politics, we can focus on one module per session and hone in on the theory of it and ensure the student knows examples. Additionally to this, come exam season we can practice how to write essays. As a former politics A-level student i know overwhelming the subject could be, so my role would be to help organise and go through the course.

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.

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.
