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.

Simple way of understanding politics and power dynamics. Where exactly the power comes from, why states act differently, and interest of states.
Brainstorming sessions:
If war is irrefutable why do we need studies, what is education. How educations mends society. What is Peace?

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.

Having recently completed my A-Levels, achieving an A* in Politics and an A in Sociology, I understand first-hand what it takes to succeed in these subjects. Now undertaking a competitive law degree apprenticeship, I aim to help students develop the knowledge, confidence and exam technique needed to achieve their academic goals.

My Teaching Approach

I believe that achieving top grades requires more than simply memorising content. It's about understanding how to apply knowledge effectively, construct convincing arguments and demonstrate the analytical and evaluative skills that examiners reward.

My lessons are personalised to each student's individual needs, whether that's strengthening subject knowledge, improving essay structure or developing exam technique.

I follow a structured approach:

Identify areas for improvement: We begin by reviewing current performance, past essays and teacher feedback to understand where marks are being lost.

Build subject knowledge: I break down challenging topics into clear, manageable explanations, using examples and revision resources.

Develop exam technique: We work through past-paper questions, essay plans and model answers, focusing on argument development, evaluation and structure.

Provide constructive feedback: I offer detailed feedback on written work, highlighting strengths and specific areas for improvement.

Track progress: Lessons are adapted as students develop, ensuring we continue working towards their target grades.

Lesson Structure

My lessons typically last 60 minutes and are delivered online. Sessions combine subject teaching, active discussion, exam-question practice and personalised feedback.

I can also provide revision materials, essay plans and written feedback between lessons to support independent learning.

Who My Lessons Are For

I specialise in:

Edexcel A-Level Politics, including UK and US Politics.

AQA A-Level Sociology.

My lessons are designed for Year 12 and Year 13 students, whether they're aiming to strengthen their foundations, improve their predicted grades or push towards A and A* results.

As someone who has only recently completed these qualifications, I can offer a relatable perspective alongside a structured, academically focused approach. My aim is to make lessons engaging, supportive and challenging, helping students become more confident and independent learners.

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!

Soy psicóloga y docente, y acompaño a estudiantes que quieren aprender a estudiar mejor y con menos estrés. No solo repasamos contenidos: como psicóloga sé por qué un estudiante no retiene, se bloquea antes de un examen o pierde la motivación, y trabajo sobre eso.

En las clases trabajamos:
• Hábitos y rutinas de estudio adaptados a cada estudiante.
• Organización del tiempo y planificación antes de los exámenes.
• Comprensión lectora, toma de apuntes y estrategias de memoria.
• Manejo de la ansiedad ante los exámenes, motivación y constancia.
• Apoyo en ciencias sociales, filosofía, ética y redacción en español (primaria, ESO y bachillerato).
• Psicología a nivel universitario: psicología general, evolutiva, psicopatología, metodología de la investigación y acompañamiento en trabajos de fin de grado.

Experiencia: he diseñado e impartido un módulo formativo completo y he coordinado académicamente un programa con más de 100 estudiantes, con seguimiento individual a cada uno. También he trabajado con niños, incluidos niños con trastornos del neurodesarrollo, y con sus familias.

Cómo son las clases: empezamos con un diagnóstico de cómo estudia el alumno y qué le cuesta, y a partir de ahí armamos un plan con objetivos claros. Doy seguimiento del progreso y comparto material de apoyo propio. Clases por videollamada (Zoom o Google Meet) con horario adaptado a España.

También doy clases de:
• Canva: diseño de presentaciones, trabajos escolares, infografías y piezas para redes sociales.
• Uso de la inteligencia artificial para niños y adolescentes: cómo usarla de forma segura y responsable para estudiar, investigar y crear, sin que haga las tareas por ellos.
• Psicología: clases y refuerzo para estudiantes de bachillerato y de universidad.
• Artes manuales y manualidades: actividades creativas que desarrollan la motricidad fina, la concentración y la paciencia.

My online tutoring in constitutional law is based on a progressive and rigorous method, structured around four key stages. First, we thoroughly review legal methodology: we revisit the rules of essay writing (compelling problem statement, structured outlines with two main parts and two sub-parts, headings) as well as those of text and decision commentary (critical analysis, problematization, and avoiding paraphrasing). Second, we conduct a targeted review of the course material to clarify key concepts (theory of the State, separation of powers, specificities of the Fifth Republic) and analyze current institutional events, illuminating them with constitutional case law. Next comes the phase of corrected exercises, during which we apply this knowledge to typical exam questions by developing detailed outlines, crafting compelling hooks, and providing personalized feedback to refine your vocabulary and writing style. Finally, we organize intensive preparation for practice exams and end-of-semester exams, including timed simulations and personalized support to optimize your time management, boost your confidence and aim for a high grade.

Do you sometimes feel trapped in anxiety, frustration, anger, or overthinking? Do you wish you could respond to difficult situations with greater calm and clarity?

In this class, we will explore how emotions arise, how they influence our thoughts and behavior, and how we can develop a healthier relationship with them.

Drawing on insights from modern psychology, mindfulness, and contemplative traditions, we will combine practical exercises with reflection and self-discovery.

What you will learn:

Recognize and understand your emotional patterns.

Manage stress, anxiety, anger, and overwhelming feelings.

Develop emotional awareness without suppressing your feelings.

Use mindfulness and body-based techniques to restore inner balance.

Respond more consciously instead of reacting automatically.

Cultivate self-compassion, resilience, and emotional stability.

My approach

I believe emotional regulation is not about controlling or eliminating emotions. It is about understanding them, learning from them, and developing the freedom to choose how we respond.

My approach combines my academic background in cognitive science with an interest in meditation, Buddhist philosophy, and the relationship between mind and body.
