Pierre S.
Private tutor in Barcelona, Spain
Education
I am a humanities teacher from England, with three years teaching experience and many more tutoring. I hold a BA in Politics, Philosophy and History (1st class honors) and an MA in Political Ecology, Degrowth and Environmental Justice. I specialise in undergraduate political sciences but can also teach high-school level. Having worked in an alternative school, my approach is very much based on the understanding and ways of learning of each student. Rather than imposing a specific method on the student I try and understand how they work, how they understand the subject and what the university or school requires of them, and help them improve in the areas needed.
