Dear sir,
What's the difference between While and Whereas ...

When used as a conjunction that doesn't refer to time, they are very close in meaning:

My brother is quite short, whereas/while I am tall.
I like beetroot, while/whereas my wife loathes it.

'Whereas' is a little more formal.

However, when 'while' refers to a relationship in time, it is distinct:

She prepared the dinner while listening to the radio programme. 'Whereas' can't be used here.

...and although , though and even though?
I have problems teaching them to my students.
Sincerely Yours,
H.Ahmadi

'though' and 'although' are given in many dictionaries as equivalent. They often are.
Though/although young, he is wise.

They are not always interchangeable though:

He is young; he is wise though. [You can't use 'although' here.]

'Even' in this context is an intensifier:

Although/Though you want to give up, keep going.
Even though your muscles are begging you to give up, you must keep going at all costs.

PS
I have heard even although, but it sounds very odd.

Afterthought:

In poetry and/or emphatic/rhetorical usage, with the subjunctive, I think maybe 'though' is favoured - although 'although' is possible:

Though the road be long
Let your heart be strong
