About Me

I hold a Ph.D. in Philosophy, Anthropology, Theology, Native American and Religious Studies. Additionally, I successfully completed all program requirements for earning the Oxford Advanced 220-Hour TESOL/TESL/TEFL Certificate with specializations in Teaching English Grammar, Teaching Business English, Teaching IELTS and TOEFL Preparation, and Teaching English to Young Learners.

Currently, I am the Subject Matter Expert and Lead Instructor for Cultural Anthropology classes in the College of Professional Studies, University of New England Maine. I recently served five months as a Peace Corps Virtual Service Pilot Volunteer assisting the Philippines Science High School with their STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) Curriculum Revision Project.

I love tutoring because I enjoy the one-on-one interaction I experience in assisting others achieve their own specific learning goals. Every student is unique and presents a different set of needs, expectations, abilities and ethnographic background. I have found tutoring and teaching to be immensely intrinsically rewarding because my students always appreciate the professional and empathetic assistance I am able to provide to them.

I have experience teaching domestically in the United States, and internationally in Nicaragua, Ecuador and Colombia. I was proud to serve nearly three years as a Peace Corps Volunteer teaching English and nutrition classes, along with developing the UNESCO TiNi Program in Cuenca, Ecuador.

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.

Hello, my name is Briani! I'm originally from New York but currently living in Paris, where I'm pursuing my Masters at Sciences Po. I've mentored a dozen students through the U.S. college admissions process, helping them gain admission to schools like MIT, UPenn, Rice, Princeton, MIT, Columbia, and the University of Chicago, to name a few. I also worked in the undergraduate admissions office at Columbia for a year as an undergraduate student.

I'm extremely passionate about essay writing and wanting my students to feel like their personal statement is the most authentic story they tell. I provide a thoughtful, personalized, and encouraging approach, challenging students to bring their very best. We will brainstorm ideas for your personal statement, work on drafts with specific, line-by-line feedback where applicable, and also address supplementary essays.

Whether we are starting from scratch or you'd like feedback or advice on how to navigate the college admissions process, I'll take my time and care to make sure all the information I have is clear, accessible, and helpful for you.

Hello! I’m a law tutor who specialises in Edexcel International A-Level Law — and my goal is to help you truly understand the subject, not just pass the exam. To do that, I bring more than a textbook: I’m also a practicing lawyer with experience in courts, consulting, and private client work. During my studies, I have also taken part in international law competitions, academic conferences, and published legal articles. I often draw on real cases and examples from my own legal practice, so abstract rules become concrete and memorable. At the same time, I’m completing my law degree at a leading Russian university, which keeps me closely connected to modern academic standards and exam expectations.

What I bring to our lessons is the ability to show how legal rules work in real life. I’ve worked in courts and advised businesses, and I use those experiences to make Edexcel topics like negligence, contract formation, or human rights feel tangible rather than abstract.

A big advantage of my background is that I’m equally comfortable in both the Romano-Germanic (continental) legal tradition — including its public law and private law dimensions — and the common law system. I know from experience how confusing it can be to switch between these two ways of thinking, and I help students build bridges between them. For Edexcel IAL, which is rooted in English common law but studied by students from all over the world, this dual perspective is incredibly valuable. I can explain not just what the law is, but why it developed that way and how it compares to other legal families.

How I Teach
My lessons are structured around the Edexcel specification, but I adapt them to each student’s level and goals. We work on:
• Solving problem questions using clear legal reasoning (IRAC and beyond);
• Writing high-scoring essays that actually answer the question;
• Evaluation skills — the difference between a B and an A*;
• Exam technique and time management under pressure.

I don’t believe in endless memorization. I want you to understand the logic of the law, so you can apply it to any scenario the exam throws at you.

With a master's degree in philosophy and experience as a teacher, I offer personalized courses to understand major philosophical concepts and effectively prepare for the baccalaureate exams.

Students will learn to analyze a topic precisely, formulate a problem statement, develop a well-reasoned argument, and engage with authors without simply reciting their notes. We will work on essay writing, text analysis, philosophical culture, and written and oral expression.

Each session is tailored to the student's level, difficulties, and objectives. Using concrete topics, texts, and their own work, I help them acquire a solid methodology, develop their critical thinking skills, and formulate their own thoughts with clarity and rigor.

The courses are aimed at high school students preparing for the baccalaureate, students following the HLP teaching as well as adults wishing to discover or deepen their knowledge of philosophy.

Philosophy is a fascinating but often difficult discipline to grasp. For this reason, it discourages many. Yet it is essential for understanding the world around us. Philosophy develops critical thinking and helps to better organize one's thoughts, while allowing each individual to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and to better analyze social issues. I offer courses tailored to your needs and objectives.

For high school students:
- Analysis of the texts discussed in class
- Explanation of the concepts used in your course
- Fundamentals of commentary and essay writing to succeed in the baccalaureate exam
- General knowledge to prepare you for higher education

For undergraduate students at university:
- Reading and analysis of key texts from the philosophical tradition
- Consolidation of the commentary and essay writing method
- Logic of the proposals: a return to the fundamentals
- History of philosophy: focus on a school of thought of your choice
- If needed, work on philosophical texts in English or Ancient Greek
- If needed, philosophical discussions on your favorite topics
- If needed, support in choosing a thesis topic for the master's degree

For adults wishing to discover the wonderful world of philosophy:
- Reading texts related to your interests
- History of philosophy courses covering the periods that interest you
Discussions combining cinema, literature and philosophy
- If needed, proofreading of your personal writings (additional cost)

In this course, you will acquire a solid philosophical foundation through the study of the great authors of the tradition: Plato, Aristotle, Hobbes, Locke, Kant, Nietzsche, and Marx, to name just a few. This course also aims to be an entry point to philosophy as it is practiced today; therefore, we will not hesitate to explore more contemporary texts from diverse traditions (feminism, political ecology, technocriticism, transhumanism, etc.). All of this is done with the same goal: to develop and enrich your thinking.

Package deals available for regular students.

As a doctoral student in comparative literature at the University of Montreal, I offer personalized support in French writing aimed primarily at students and adults wishing to improve their writing.
The sessions may focus on structuring a text, formulating a problem, organizing ideas, clarity of argumentation, syntax, vocabulary, reformulation, or correcting recurring errors.
For students in literature and humanities, I can also support the methodological work related to the dissertation, commentary, text analysis, the construction of a problem and the development of a plan.
The work is based on your own texts, your difficulties, and your goals. The idea is to understand what can be improved, to develop reusable methods, and to progress toward clearer, more precise, and more independent writing. In most cases, significant progress can already be observed after two to three sessions.
This support is also suitable for people whose native language is not French and who wish to gain fluency in their academic or professional writing.

I offer philosophy courses tailored to each student's level and objectives, with work focused on understanding authors, constructing clear arguments, and the essay writing method.

The goal is to help the student better analyze a subject, formulate a problem, build a solid plan and develop their ideas rigorously.

We can work on the texts and authors studied in class, the preparation of homework, exams and oral presentations, as well as on difficulties with method or writing.

I study philosophy and literature at university and have extensive experience in private tutoring. Lessons can be one-off or regular, and packages of multiple sessions are available for longer-term support.
