MA student with too much information in his head who loves breaking it down into digestible chunks. My class is for the people who 'don't get it' and want it explained simply and accessibly. My classes give students their own understanding of the content with which to confidently approach their exams.

I received a 1st in Philosophy and Theology at bachelors level from the University of Nottingham. I am currently studying philosophy at King's College London.

Able to run classes on these topics in each field:

Philosophy: Philosophy of Religion, Ethics, Political Philosophy, Metaphysics, Philosophy of Mind.

History: Tudor England, Elizabethan England, Reformation Europe.

Theology/Religious studies: Islam, Christianity, Buddhism.

Literature: WW1 literature, Existentialist Literature, Othello. Great Gatsby, A View from the Bridge, Pride and Prejudice.

Have been playing the Ukulele for 8 years and so can help students gain competency in the instrument - have access to a lot of material.

Also have been learning Arabic for 4 years and can help beginners get set up.

My area of expertise is all things Religious Studies, including Philosophy, Ethics, and New Testament Studies. I am currently an Undergraduate at King's College London studying 'Theology, Religion and Culture.'
I believe it is more beneficial for students to learn how to think analytically rather than just being spoon fed knowledge. This is done by first covering a specific topic and ensuring their understanding, and then having a spirited discussion about the content, finding out what the pupils opinions are. This is the key to excelling in any essay-based subject.

I specialise in academic writing, english as a second language, ghost writing, creative writing, poetry, philosophy and art.
The course can be tailored to meet the needs of students who wish to fine tune their academic writing work in any subject, delve deeper into literary analysis, philosophical and theoretical explorations applied to interdisciplinary subject areas, and for those who wish to have an interlocutor, mentor, editor or muse to guide them through their own creative process.

Hello, after having done a preparatory literary class, I am currently in the last year of philosophy and art history at UCL. I have been supporting students in the preparation of the French baccalaureate, philosophy and history-geography for several years. Through personalized support, I help them acquire a solid methodology for the baccalaureate exams. These courses aim to overcome the difficulties they encounter in class as well as to allow them to gain confidence in their academic capacities and their ability to develop complex thinking.

Confronting powerful literature is not only rewarding in itself but it teaches you much about yourself and the world around you. In order to get the most out of reading literature, a refined taste and ability to read must be taught.
The act of writing is one of the highest forms of thought we possess. It teaches us how to organise our minds, how to express ourselves genuinely, and opens us to a multiplicity of lives.

Welcome to the world of boundless ideas, vivid debates, and the vibrant tapestry of human thought! 🌟 Get ready to embark on an exhilarating journey into the heart and soul of philosophy in our "Introduction to Philosophy" tutoring class.

Whether you're gearing up for a philosophy class or exam, or simply have an insatiable curiosity about the philosophic wonders awaiting you, our class is your passport to the extraordinary.

Dive headfirst into the kaleidoscope of philosophical concepts, where every idea is a brushstroke on the canvas of human imagination. Our class is your gateway to the luminous world of Socrates, Descartes, Simone de Beauvoir, and more, as we venture beyond the confines of ordinary thinking in subjects ranging from feminist and African philosophy to AI and business ethics!

Let our passion for philosophy ignite your own curiosity, and together, we'll paint the canvas of your mind with the brightest, boldest, and most captivating ideas. So, join us and let's set sail on the colorful sea of philosophy together! 🌈✨

Philosophy follows wisdom. This class will explore a panorama of philosophical texts through the poetic diction of stories and myths. Offering close-readings and lectures from Heraclitus to Shakespeare, Kierkegaard to Ávila, students are invited to engage and formulate new ideas. Personal requests are very welcome in consultation.

Online lessons in philosophy and introductory tenets of psychotherapy to improve your critical thinking and your peace of mind. Lessons are tailored to the individual and what you are looking for. Please get in touch to inquire further! Thank you :))

Recent graduate of Oxford University, theology and religion. A*s in A levels and 9s at gcses.
Will provide high level tutoring in any subject (ks2-4, gcse, a level etc) related to my degree subject. These include Religious studies, ethics, philosophy, politics, english (literature at a-level, lit and lang gcse). Can offer subject specific teaching, but also more generally essay writing practice, as well as oxbridge interview, personal statement, and entrance exam help, particularly for students in the state sector. While I cannot guarantee success, I will do my best to relay my experiences and hopefully provide students with helpful guidance.
Classes will be catered specifically according to each student, however I will often ask for them to come along with recent examples of written work, or practice papers/questions.

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.
