Welcome! I am so excited to dive into the Age of Enlightenment with you today. It was a remarkable era that completely reshaped how we think about human rights, science, and the power of our own minds.

To help me tailor this session for you, what brings you to studying the Age of Enlightenment today—are you preparing for a specific class or exam, or exploring out of personal interest?

That makes perfect sense! Tailoring our focus for an exam or class will help us make sure you nail the key concepts, main historical players, and major big-picture themes your instructor is bound to test you on.

Before we sketch out our custom learning path and dive into the material, could you share what level or specific course this exam is for (like AP European History, a college intro course, or high school history), and if there are any specific thinkers or ideas your teacher has been emphasizing?
