Mariela Coudannes

As a tutor teacher in the subject of History, my main role is to accompany students throughout their learning process, providing academic guidance and personalized support that foster their overall development. I work with secondary school students as well as adult learners in higher education, adapting my teaching strategies to different learning needs, contexts, and goals.
I live in Argentina, South America, and I have a solid background and broad knowledge of World History, which allows me to contextualize local and national historical processes within a global framework. This perspective enriches the tutorial sessions, enabling students to understand the connections between different events, cultures, and time periods, and to develop a more comprehensive and integrative view of history.
In addition, I provide support in the Spanish language, assisting students in improving their reading comprehension, writing, and oral expression—essential skills for analyzing and interpreting historical texts effectively.
The role of the History tutor is not limited to reinforcing class content; it also involves creating a space for dialogue and trust where students can express doubts, difficulties, or concerns, and find strategies that help them improve their performance and autonomy in learning.

Activities in Personalized Tutorials:
During personalized tutorial sessions, I carry out a variety of activities tailored to the needs of each student, such as:
- Review and reinforcement of content: revisiting complex topics, analyzing historical facts and processes—both national and global—and clarifying key concepts.
- Study skills support: teaching strategies for summarizing, outlining, creating timelines or concept maps, and preparing for assessments.
- Reading and analysis of historical sources: working with texts, images, maps, or documents to develop critical interpretation skills and evidence-based reasoning.
- Guidance on assignments and projects: assisting in research, writing, and organizing presentations or oral reports.
- Spanish language support: helping students strengthen their vocabulary, grammar, and written communication to enhance their understanding of historical materials.
- Connecting past and present: encouraging reflection on historical events and their relationship to current situations, fostering critical thinking and civic engagement.
- Monitoring academic progress: evaluating achievements, identifying challenges, and setting improvement goals together with the student.
- Emotional and motivational support: offering active listening, encouragement, and guidance in situations that may affect learning or academic performance.

The goal of tutoring in History is to create a meaningful and supportive learning environment where each student feels guided throughout their educational journey.
