What is sociology? An introductory course on key concepts
The course entitled ‘What is sociology?’ is taken from a textbook with the same title by Mr Hichem Karoui. The textbook is a comprehensive exploration of sociology, aimed at both students and educators. It explores various aspects of sociology and provides a rich understanding of social structures, institutions and their impact on human behaviour and the organisation of society. The course follows the same lines. It will cover, among other topics:
1- **Social structures and institutions** and their complex dynamics as well as institutions, highlighting their profound effects on human behaviour and the organisation of society. The importance of capturing these subtleties in order to better understand the evolution and transformation of society will be emphasised.
2- **Social Change and Movements**: We will explore the formidable forces of social change and the movements that shape human society. These movements reflect the aspirations and struggles of individuals and communities striving for a more equitable world.
3- **Sociology of Religion**: An overview will be given of how religion influences and is influenced by social structures, cultural values and individual experiences.
4- **Research Methodologies**: The essential role of research methodologies in sociology will be highlighted, including quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods, experimental and comparative approaches. These methodologies allow us to uncover valuable information about behaviour, structures and social transformations while respecting ethical principles designed to protect research participants and preserve the integrity of the research.
- Historical perspective**: We will also trace the historical trajectory of sociology as a dynamic discipline that adapts to an ever-changing social environment. Various perspectives will be combined to provide a holistic understanding of the social world, and inform initiatives to solve social problems and advocate for social equity.
Overall, the course provides a theoretical foundation for understanding key sociological concepts and their application to the analysis and resolution of societal complexities. It will be supplemented by practical exercises in content analysis, text intelligence, etc.

A level Economics: Content, Structure and PerfectionA-level Economics is a significant step up from IGCSE and AS-level Economics. It can often seem daunting, leading some students to struggle with the basics and ultimately underperform. In the worst-case scenario, this can even extinguish their interest in a potentially rewarding career path.
This course takes an innovative approach to breaking down the fundamentals of economics using real-world examples to foster a deeper understanding of the subject matter. Additionally, students will gain valuable A-level tips and tricks to significantly boost their grades and aim for A* or A.
The course is led by Ameer Sarfarazhusain, a first-year student at the University of Warwick. The University is ranked among the top 5 universities in the UK for its Economics course and top 3 for employability in top investment banks. Ameer has over 5 years of experience in student leadership roles and has taught various subjects to high school students. As the founder of the AYEP, he also delivers environmental economics classes to young people across the MENA region. AYEP has even partnered with the United Nations to contribute youth policy inputs to COP28 in Dubai.
In conclusion, this course will expertly unravel the complexities of A-level Economics, setting students up for success and potentially opening doors to a fulfilling career.

Medical student teaches SVT, biology and mathematics onlineHi! My name is Ali, a 4th year medical student with an overflowing passion for life sciences, biology and physiology. My academic background has allowed me to dive deep into these fascinating disciplines, and I have been fortunate to share this passion by teaching various students. Whether in the final year of high school, in the undergraduate program or even in private lessons for middle school students, I have helped learners demystify complex concepts in physiology, biophysics, immunology and biology.
Nothing motivates me more than seeing a student overcome a challenge and understand a subject that seemed insurmountable. That spark of understanding is what I aim to provoke in each person I coach.
Thanks to my varied experience with students of different ages and levels – from elementary school to university students preparing for competitions such as the LASS – I have refined a flexible teaching method adapted to each individual. Whether it is to explain concepts in depth, analyze errors in exercises, or mix the two, I am here to respond precisely to your needs.
My age allows me to create a natural and fluid connection with my students, facilitating a climate of trust and exchange. Having completed my studies in basic sciences, I am ready to accompany you on subjects such as neurology, cardiology, and many others. Together, we will overcome academic obstacles to achieve your goals! Looking forward to starting this adventure with you!

Social Sciences Course - Arabic Language-SociologyThis course offers an interdisciplinary approach to exploring social sciences, philosophy and Arabic language learning. It aims to provide learners with a deep understanding of the fundamental concepts of social sciences, to develop critical thinking skills in philosophy.
In social sciences, we will analyze social dynamics, institutions and social phenomena, such as mental health, education, family and inequality. Students will study classical and contemporary sociological theories while developing a critical understanding of the structures that govern society.
Philosophy, for its part, will encourage an exploration of major ethical, existential and metaphysical questions, with an emphasis on reflection and logical reasoning. Students will be invited to question the concepts of justice, truth and freedom, and to connect these notions to contemporary issues.
In parallel, learning the Arabic language will be aimed at non-native speakers wishing to develop their oral and written communication skills. The course will offer an immersion in the basics of grammar, vocabulary and cultural expressions, allowing students to express themselves in Arabic in various contexts.
This course offers an enriching experience for those who wish to combine intellectual reflection and the acquisition of language skills in an intercultural setting.
