Knowing American history is critically important—and an essential part of that history is the story of the diverse people who make up America. This course focuses on the Black American perspective of U.S. history—also known as African American, Black American, or simply Black history.

In this class, we will explore five major eras of American history:
1. Slavery and Reconstruction
2. The Jim Crow Era
3. The Civil Rights Era and the Black Power Movement
4. The 1980s and 1990s
5. President Obama’s Presidency to the Present

Throughout these eras, we will cover key topics such as the transatlantic slave trade, the Harlem Renaissance during the Roaring Twenties, the Red Summer and the many race riots and massacres during the Jim Crow era, segregation and the fight for civil rights, and more recent events like the Obama presidency and the 2020 pandemic. This course will help students not only understand American history, but specifically from a Black perspective, while also examining how that history shapes current events and the future.

I completed the IB DP with a consistent 7/ high 6 in Higher Level History, and this has always been one of my favorite subjects. I am very good at this subject and have somewhat of a passion for it. I have a very good grasp of what is expected from the IB students as pertains to this subject, and I know the ins and outs of the criteria and the weird and wonderful little ways in which the IB expects the students to perform. I am able to help with any course work, homework, assignments, or assessments. As pertains to the DP students, I also did my EE on a History topic so I can assist there if need be. I am also a tutor in English and as comprehensive writing and legibility is a large part of what is expected from IB History students, I can offer particular insight into how to best write and get arguments across.

I have a First Class degree in Modern History from the University of St Andrews. I am beginning my postgraduate degree in History at the University of Edinburgh in September. I remember the struggles of learning analytical techniques and historiographical skills when I was 15-18 years old at school. Additionally, my memories of wiring my undergraduate essays are still fresh! In my classes I aim to foster the student's historical skills; looking at essay questions, dissecting them and planning them together, and attempting o write sections of it will aid you in being able to do this independently and in exams!

I am a Tunisian teacher with extensive experience in teaching children as well as adults.

English is more than a profession for me. It's a vocation.
I offer crash courses to adults, whether they are researchers, teachers, business executives, or others.

The fact is that I have a respectable knowledge in different fields of a scientific nature, which encouraged me to migrate to the sphere of professional and academic population after having spent a very long career in secondary education as well as in preparation for international tests.

My methods are numerous and varied, adapting to the real needs of the learner rather than the desires of the teacher that I am.

The Contemporary History course covers the revolutionary cycle that begins with the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution at the end of the 18th century.
