Welcome to my profile. If you've come this far, it's because you're interested in one of my tours, and I thank you for that. I'm going to tell you a little about my professional career, and I hope we walk together sharing the exciting history of Berlin, scene of the most important events of the 20th century, the rise of Nazism and the Cold War, which are fundamental to understand the world we live in today.
I have a Bachelor in Philosophy and three master's degrees: in teaching Philosophy in secondary schools; teaching Spanish as a foreign language; and I am Extraordinary Award in the Social Studies of Science and Technology master's degree. Thanks to my excellent thesis supervisors and my internship at the Spanish National Research Council in Madrid, I learned the importance of academic accuracy and different research methodologies from internationally renowned researchers. My years of teaching in intercultural contexts allowed me to put all this knowledge into practice and taught me to adapt my discourse to different teaching contexts.
My tours are the result of my academic background, and the outcome of a conscious research process. The 'Side to Side' project was born with a very clear objective: to understand the essence of each of these historical events by walking and reflecting together on the streets, memorials, and empty spaces that, in Berlin, have so much to tell us.
If you want to know more, don't hesitate: reserve your spot while there is still availability. I hope to see you soon. Best regards and thank you for reading.
Alexis clearly has a passion for not just what, but WHY history has happened and shares this expertly. He brings his infectious enthusiasm to every part of his tour. His background in educating is demonstrated by his clever use of a tablet for images and videos to support the experience. He is personable and relates well to every body, as well as encouraging us to speak to each other. He spoke to kindly and genuinely to my teenage sons, who adored him. This whole experience will be one we never forget and hope to repeat when we return to Berlin in the future.
This was our second tour of the day with Alexis. He exhibited the same energy level and did not miss a beat. Our other your companions were also repeats from his other tours so just goes to show he gives insightful and entertaining tours
Alexis brought life to such a dark topic. Learned a lot (and also unlearned many misconceptions). Highly recommended!
Great tour! Alexis is very nice
Amazing tour, Alexis is a wonderful guide who made the tour not only informative but really entertaining for us as well
