Hello, future thinkers and aspiring philosophers! I'm Ollie, and I'm honoured to invite you on a journey into the realms of Politics and Philosophy. Armed with a passion for critical thinking and a comprehensive academic background, I hold a degree in Politics and Philosophy from the University of Sussex, complemented by A-level qualifications in the same subjects. 🎓 Academic Journey: During my university years, I delved deep into the intricacies of political theory and philosophical inquiry. My dissertation, a labor of intellectual love, explored the pertinent question of whether the 'New Left' bore any responsibility for the rise of right-wing populism. This investigative journey allowed me to navigate the complex intersections between ideology, society, and political movements. 📖 Key Modules: My academic journey was enriched by a diverse range of modules, each contributing to my comprehensive understanding of the subjects. Some of the key modules that have shaped my perspective include: Existentialism: Unraveling the profound questions of existence and individuality. Phenomenology: Exploring the structures of consciousness and the nature of experience. Philosophy of Religion: Investigating the fundamental questions surrounding faith, belief, and existence. Epistemology: Delving into the nature and scope of knowledge and belief. European Politics: Analyzing the political landscape of Europe, its challenges, and its evolving dynamics. American Politics: Examining the intricacies of the American political system and its global impact. French Politics: Unpacking the unique political landscape of France and its historical context. 💡 What to Expect: In this tutoring class, you can anticipate engaging discussions, thought-provoking analyses, and a nurturing environment for intellectual growth. Whether you are grappling with political theories, philosophical quandaries, or the intricate dance between the two, I am here to guide you through the intricacies of these captivating subjects. 🤝 Let's embark on this intellectual journey together.

Abigail - United Kingdom£26
£26Postgrad student offering tution in History GCSE and ALevels
I offer tutoring in History for GCSE and ALevel students. History has been my passion for years and I would hope to pass on some of that passion to my students. One to one lessons that can greatly benefit those who struggle in a large classroom environment and can make a large difference between grade outcomes. I base my lessons on the specific needs of each student and can offer the expertise of someone who has personally sat the new-style GCSE exams. Lessons are specifically tailored to the individual needs of the student and will involve supporting the student with their understanding of course materials and different historical time periods. It will also include practical tasks such as analysing historical sources and answering questions both verbally and in written format, depending on what best suits the individual and their goals/learning style. I am more than happy to provide tutoring for both exams and coursework. The first lesson will typically consist of a quick chat to establish what the student hopes to gain from tutoring and what requirements they have to meet to continue onto their next step (e.g needing a 7 to study history at A Level, or getting a particular grade at A Level in order to go to their top choice university). We will also discuss the course content to assess what level the student is currently at. We will then get started with some specific questions or topics. Further lessons will continue based the specific needs of the student as discussed in the first lesson. I do occasionally set work (usually due in for the next lesson), but I will never set more than 40 marks worth of work (GCSE)
