I am an English teacher who helps students improve their speaking, writing, and grammar skills. My lessons are clear, practical, and adapted to each student’s level and goals. I focus on making learning simple, engaging, and effective for everyone.

I invite you to discuss your objectives and challenges in order to develop a teaching method and techniques that meet your expectations. The course is based on dialogue and mutual trust: it depends on the subject matter being taught, but above all on your desires and goals. For the past fifteen years, I have taught philosophy, history and political science in various contexts: at university, in high school, in adult education programs, and by giving private lessons to French speakers and non-French speakers. In the three disciplines offered, my courses aim to enable you to acquire the essential knowledge and methods, and to develop your skills in an individualized way. I would be happy to support you in preparing for the Baccalaureate, in philosophy and in HGGSP.

Learn world history, international relations, and political science from a former U.S. diplomat with 16 years of professional experience in Asia, Africa, and Washington, D.C. This class is designed for high school and university students, adult learners, and anyone interested in developing a deeper understanding of how international affairs, politics, economics, and diplomacy actually work. Lessons can be tailored to your interests, academic coursework, or professional goals. Topics can include international relations and foreign policy; diplomacy and negotiation; the United Nations and other international organizations; U.S. government and foreign policy; international security; global economic and technology issues; cross-cultural communication; and the relationship between history and current world events. My teaching style emphasizes understanding and discussion rather than simply memorizing facts. We'll examine why countries and leaders make the choices they do, how governments negotiate and cooperate, and how historical and cultural factors shape today's world. Before transitioning into education, I served for 16 years as a U.S. Foreign Service Officer, with assignments in China, Indonesia, Madagascar, Chad, and Washington, D.C. I have also taught English in China and Japan, served as a graduate teaching assistant in international relations at American University, and taught undergraduate students at the University of Maryland. Whether you're preparing for a class or exam, considering a career in international affairs, or simply want to understand world events more deeply, I will tailor our lessons to your interests and goals.

Learn History, Political Science, and Social Sciences with classes designed for students and the general public interested in expanding their knowledge in these fields. These classes are not based on a specific subject, such as Contemporary European History or Political History of the Americas, but rather adapt to the needs of each student and, in this latter sense, are also tailored to their learning level.

Hello! I'm Ali, and I'd love to be your German teacher. I'm not a native speaker myself – I learned German from scratch and later passed the DSH-2 exam (C1 level). So I know exactly how it feels to struggle with a new language, and more importantly, how to overcome those challenges. My lessons are for everyone: complete beginners, intermediate learners, and advanced students who need German for university, work, or exam preparation (Goethe, DSH, TestDaF). With my background in political science at the University of Jena, I also specialise in academic German – writing, presentations, and discussions. I design every lesson around your personal goals. We use real materials like short articles, videos, and everyday conversations, so you learn the German people actually speak. Grammar is never scary with me, and mistakes are always welcome – they show us where to improve. Most importantly, you'll speak a lot and feel comfortable from the very first session. I have several years of online teaching experience, especially with refugees, which taught me to be patient, calm, and encouraging. If you're curious about politics, society, or philosophy, I'm always happy to bring those topics into our lessons – they're my passion. Book a lesson and let's start this journey together. I can't wait to meet you!
