From 88.07 £ /h

Are you looking to expand your knowledge of philosophy? Do you want to learn more about the great thinkers of the past and present? If so, then you’re in luck! I am excited to announce that I am offering one-to-one philosophy classes in English for all comers.

My classes are designed to provide a comprehensive overview of philosophy, from ancient times to the present day. We will explore the ideas of great philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Kant, and Nietzsche, and examine how their ideas have shaped the world we live in today.

In my classes, you will learn how to think critically, analyse complex arguments, and develop your own philosophical ideas.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced philosopher, my classes are designed to challenge and inspire you. I believe that philosophy is for everyone, and I am committed to making my classes accessible to all.

Experienced teacher, graduate of the University of Geneva, I am enthusiastic about helping students improve and enjoy studying philosophy.

The objective of this course is to offer a pleasant contact to students who encounter difficulties in philosophy, in order to allow them to gain self-confidence, while appreciating their regular participation and noting the progress made.

I have experience in teaching and support classes, I appreciate the contact with the students, but especially their smiles when they regain their self-confidence and feel capable of progressing.

It is a privilege for me to experience these moments that allow students to open up, express themselves and discover new perspectives.

Hello,

I offer tutoring classes to your children or / and even adults if the need arises.

I have a Masters in Marketing and Management. I already have significant experience with several children. That's why I propose to give private lessons in specific subjects or to help with homework for all levels and in all disciplines (from primary to high school).

I offer educational assistance to your children in order to help them with any difficulties they may encounter at school. Very social, dynamic and rigorous, I adapt to the level of the child to allow him to regain self-confidence quickly.

Hello,

I am a student at the Lycée Henri IV (Paris, France) in literary preparatory class (first year, equivalent to a Bachelor 1 in French, Philosophy, History, Latin, Ancient Greek, English). I teach during the school holidays (June, July, August).
Patient and dynamic, I listen to students and can support them in several ways:
- methodology (dissertation, compound or linear commentary, version in ancient languages, oral and written)
- help with homework
- more precise courses based on both the cycle, college (Maturity, Switzerland) or Lycée (Baccalaureate, France) programs and the needs of the students (to work on well-targeted concepts, such as for example a work, an author, a genre, a literary movement etc). I would be delighted to be able to give lessons.

See you soon !

I have a Master 2 degree in philosophy and I teach this subject.
I am deeply passionate about this field as well as about pedagogy and transmission. It is a real pleasure to help my students improve through this special relationship that is established during the courses. Likewise, I have a real ability to grasp your personality, your strengths and your unique difficulties. My support is completely individualized and I prepare my own courses that respect the official programs. Also, I offer regular follow-up by email.

Regarding my methodology, first of all I am keen to get to know my students. The first class is always led by a time of discussion around the student's personal expectations and profile. In addition, it seems absolutely crucial to me to always provide solid methodological bases to all of my learners. This is why a detour via the methods specific to philosophy exercises is systematically made with students preparing for the maturity or the baccalaureate. Then, depending on the specific needs of the student, I adapt the session and it is often structured around two moments: on the one hand, I give a lecture on a concept, an author or conceptual distinctions, and on the other hand I lead practical exercises. Finally, digital documents can be sent to the student later, this is important so that they can keep a record of our work.

Feel free to contact me for more information.
I travel to homes in the following municipalities: Geneva and its surrounding areas, Collonges-sous-Salève, Archamps, Saint-Julien-en-Genevois, Viry.
The courses can also take place by videoconference, in which case there are no travel costs.

See you soon.
Best regards,
Camille

I have a bachelor's degree in medicine and a master's degree in contemporary philosophy of science. I can therefore give courses in mathematics, physics, biology or philosophy for students who need help for their maturity, or for the cycle.

It is true that the philosopher is the friend of wisdom, but above all, he is someone who does not want to make mistakes in reasoning. Philosophizing is a way of reasoning and a way of solving problems that will never have a perfect and definitive solution. Knowing the distance between the Earth and the Moon is not a problem of philosophy, because it is enough to measure to solve it. On the other hand, knowing, for example, what justice is, is a problem of philosophy. A meter will not be able to help us know the answer. We must go about it differently, and in the courses I offer, I will teach you how.

You will learn

- text reading strategies
- case studies with the aim of learning from experts
- methodology in philosophy
- writing an essay
- writing a text commentary
- a work on the philosophers of your choice
- an overview of the history of philosophy
- the general culture necessary to be able to philosophize

I will adapt to your individual needs. Each course is tailor-made. We will analyze where your difficulties lie and together develop a course program that will make you perform as quickly as possible. The basic principle of the courses I offer is dialectics, like Plato's dialogues: reflecting together, making theoretical contributions, asking questions and seeking answers, and testing the validity of reasoning.

For the past 10 years, I have been teaching German using the philosophy methodology, having studied philosophy at the Master's level at Aix-Marseille University. It turns out that the analytical mind is very useful even outside the confines of philosophy. Today, there are even fields of activity such as management with philosophy or philotherapy. In recent years, some German students have asked me to also teach them philosophy courses, and that is why I decided to offer philosophy courses directly.

I look forward to meeting you during a first lesson.
