Academic philosophy and ethics conducted in English

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 23 £ /h

Welcome to a comprehensive, student-tailored approach to understanding philosophy and ethics. As a holder of a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy and a current Master's student in Applied Ethics, I help students navigate complex theoretical frameworks and apply critical thinking to real-world issues. With over five years of experience as a tutor in Poland, including time spent teaching directly in a school environment, I bring a strong pedagogical foundation to every session, ensuring abstract concepts are clear, structured, and practical.
In our lessons, we will cover a wide range of topics customized to your specific goals. We can dive into core philosophy and epistemology by exploring fundamental texts and primary sources, or break down ethical theories such as utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics to see how they apply to modern life. We can also explore contemporary socio-political debates, bioethics, technology, and AI ethics, which happens to be a personal passion of mine, without losing sight of the broader philosophical discipline.
Beyond studying theoretical content, I place a strong emphasis on practical academic skills and critical thinking. Drawing from my background as a school teacher and private tutor, I focus on helping you evaluate complex viewpoints objectively, spot logical fallacies, structure philosophical papers, and refine your overall argumentation. Lessons are fully adaptable to your learning style and academic level, whether you are an absolute beginner looking for a clear introduction or an advanced student seeking in-depth feedback on your work.

Extra information

Lessons are conducted fully in either English or Polish, depending entirely on your preference. Working computer, camera and microprophone.
No prior background in philosophy or ethics is required—just an open mind and a willingness to engage in thoughtful discussions. Feel free to bring any specific course syllabi, essay drafts, or topics you would like to work on together. All core reading materials, customized feedback, and session notes will be provided.

English Tutoring & Academic English (5+ Years Experience)

23 £ /h

Looking to improve your English for everyday conversations, school, or university? With over five years of tutoring experience and a full year of teaching English in a formal school environment, I offer engaging, customized lessons designed to meet your specific goals. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy and am currently pursuing two higher education programs taught entirely in English: Business Management in Warsaw and Applied Ethics at Utrecht University. Having successfully passed the IELTS exam myself, I understand the challenges of mastering English for both academic and real-world environments.

In our lessons, we can work on building conversational confidence, polishing academic writing and essay structures, mastering complex grammar, or preparing for standardized language exams like IELTS. Whether you are a complete beginner, looking to refine your writing skills, or aiming to achieve higher scores on language tests, I tailor every session to your unique learning style and pace to help you achieve long-term success.

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.

Philosophy isn't just about memorizing authors and dates; it's about learning to think, argue, and connect ideas. If you struggle to understand Plato or Kant, find yourself bored in class, or need to improve your grades for university entrance exams, I can help!

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.

I invite you to discuss your objectives and challenges in order to develop a teaching method and techniques that meet your expectations. The course is based on dialogue and mutual trust: it depends on the subject matter being taught, but above all on your desires and goals.
For the past fifteen years, I have taught philosophy, history and political science in various contexts: at university, in high school, in adult education programs, and by giving private lessons to French speakers and non-French speakers.

In the three disciplines offered, my courses aim to enable you to acquire the essential knowledge and methods, and to develop your skills in an individualized way.

I would be happy to support you in preparing for the Baccalaureate, in philosophy and in HGGSP.

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.

What if human culture is not exclusively human?
Zooanthropology, or On Becoming Cultural with Non-human Animals is an introductory 10-lesson course exploring the relationship between humans and other animals and asking a fundamental question: how much of what we call “culture” has actually emerged through our relationships with other species?
The course offers a different perspective. Rather than considering culture an exclusively human achievement, zooanthropology understands it as something that has emerged through relationships, encounters and exchanges between species. Other animals are not simply objects of human knowledge or resources for human development: they are subjects who have influenced, shaped and transformed us.
This perspective invites us to reconsider our own position in the world and to question some deeply rooted assumptions about the supposed boundary between humans and other animals. It also encourages us to decentre our perspective and to become more attentive to forms of intelligence, communication, emotion, learning and relationship that do not seem to resemble our own.
The course is transdisciplinary, drawing on anthropology, philosophy, ethology and other fields. Along the way, you will encounter concepts such as intersubjectivity, epiphany, hybridisation and epimelesis, among many others. But don't be intimidated by the terminology! No previous knowledge of anthropology, philosophy, ethology or zooanthropology is required. What the course does require is curiosity, an interest in human–nonhuman animal relations, and a willingness to question some familiar ideas and look at the world from a less anthropocentric perspective.
Slides and a bibliography will be provided.

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.

Philosophy and Psychology for Adults: Thinking, Understanding, and Getting to Know Yourself Better

Have you ever wondered why you make certain decisions, what you really want from your life, or what meaning some experiences that have marked you have?

This class arises precisely from those questions.

This isn't your typical philosophy or psychology class, and you don't need any prior knowledge. It's a space to pause, reflect, and discuss the questions we all ask ourselves at some point in our lives, but rarely find the time to address.

Through philosophy, psychology, and other related disciplines, we will explore topics such as self-knowledge, relationships, freedom, fear, happiness, decision-making, identity, the meaning of life, our beliefs, and the great questions that accompany us as human beings.

The idea isn't to give you ready-made answers. On the contrary: it's about learning to ask better questions and finding your own answers.

The sessions will be dynamic and participatory, combining explanation

Explore questions of meaning, freedom, responsibility, values, choice, suffering, identity, mortality, and existence through Logotherapy, Existential Analysis, and philosophical inquiry.

My background includes advanced training in Logotherapy and Existential Analysis, alongside academic studies in Philosophy, Archaeology, and Comparative Literature. This interdisciplinary background allows me to approach questions of meaning and existence through both philosophical concepts and the framework developed within Logotherapy and Existential Analysis.

In our sessions, we can explore the ideas of Viktor Frankl, the foundations of Logotherapy and Existential Analysis, existential philosophy, meaning-centered perspectives, and philosophical questions related to freedom, responsibility, values, purpose, suffering, and human existence.

Depending on your interests, we can focus on a particular concept, philosophical question, book or text, or follow a more structured introduction to Logotherapy and Existential Analysis. We can also compare different philosophical perspectives and examine how concepts such as meaning, freedom, responsibility, values, mortality, and existential choice have been approached across different traditions.

You do not need any previous knowledge of philosophy, Logotherapy, or Existential Analysis. Sessions can be introductory or more advanced depending on your background and interests. The aim is to create a thoughtful and intellectually engaging space for learning, reflection, and philosophical dialogue.

These sessions are educational and discussion-based. They are not psychotherapy, psychiatric care, medical treatment, or a substitute for professional mental health services.

Block period coming up?? If you are struggling to understand a difficult philosophical text, organise your ideas for an essay, or express a complex argument clearly: I am happy to help!

I am a PhD Candidate in Political Philosophy, and I enjoy working through complex ideas, understanding how arguments fit together, and finding ways to express them clearly. If you want to feel more confident in your university work and need one-on-one guidance, I'd like to share these skills with you.

Together, we can work on:
- Text analysis: philosophical papers and books can be tricky. We can unpack them and work step-by-step on identifying the main arguments and understanding the key concepts behind them.
- Essay structure and academic writing: do you have lots of ideas but don’t know how to organise them? Finding the right words isn’t always easy. We can work together to define a clear direction for your essay, structure your arguments and ensure your ideas flow naturally from one point to the next.
- Academic discussion: whether you’re preparing for a seminar, an oral exam or simply want to feel more confident debating ideas, we can practise explaining your point of view, responding to objections and critically engaging with other perspectives.

Every student is different, and I like to adapt our lessons to what you need most: don't hesitate to reach out and share your goals!
Naturally, you can bring your own texts, readings, essay questions, or drafts, so we can work directly on the material you're studying at university. During the lesson, we'll discuss your ideas, work through examples, and tackle any questions or difficulties that come up.

Lessons take place either online or in Groningen -- either in a café, at the Forum, or on campus!
