Philosophy tutoring for high school and university students

Philosophy can often seem like a frustrating and alien academic field, with arbitrary questions and endless arguments. However with a experienced philosopher as a guide (such as myself) the discipline can be revealed as an exciting exploration of ourselves and the world around us. Depending on what interests you, or what your course requires you to study, we will read texts together, analyse concepts and arguments and actually practice philosophy by having discussions and refining arguments.

Philosophy is a magic sword when it comes to navigating the modern world. As we are bombarded with information, a engaged philosophy education gives you the critical thinking and logical analysis skills dismiss the rhetoric and nonsense and find the truth and falsity in a statement, making you a better citizen and friend.

My specialism is the philosophy of physics, including the philosophy of quantum mechanics, philosophy of science and philosophy of time. My other interests include metaphysics and the political philosophy.

About Me

I am a confident graduate from the University of Bristol in the UK. I am friendly, happy, and patient, with lots of experience speaking about my subjects and sharing my knowledge with students, friends, and even family! I graduated with first-class honors in Physics and Philosophy, and with a commendation!

I have a passion for developing other people's understanding of the subject. Maths and physics, and even philosophy, can often seem to be scary, and intimidating. However with my patience and support, I believe everybody can understand them, and hopefully see the beauty and joy of the subjects.

In my free time, away from my subjects, I love reading literary fiction. My favorite work is Joyce's Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Dostoevsky's The Brother's Karamazov. I also spend hours playing the piano and guitar and get exercise from playing basketball and going for walks in nature.

Education

My most recent education is completing a master's with first-class honors in Physics and Philosophy from the University of Bristol, UK. I graduated with a commendation and excellent grades. The University of Bristol is a very high achieving and competitive university with one of the best physics department's in the country.

At university, I studied a joint honors course in Physics and Philosophy and loved every moment! I particularly enjoyed studying quantum mechanics and general relativity and reading about the philosophic foundations of modern physics. My philosophy of physics project is being published and I was awarded a first-class honors degree, averaging over 80% in physics and mathematics exams.

I am now applying to study theoretical physics at Cambridge and will go on to a Ph.D. and a research career.

Experience / Qualifications

I spent two years working with professional tutoring firm Creative in Excellence, where I tutored maths and English. At university I spent lots of time helping and teaching friends, hosting study sessions and being a point of contact whenever someone needed assistance. Furthermore I was president of Physics and Philosophy society, and organised and delivered seminars and lectures on topics in physics and the philosophy and history of physics.

I love my subjects and believe studying can be enjoyable and engaging, with a good teacher. I want to share my passion for learning and understanding with students and make physics, maths and philosophy accessible and clear to as many people as possible.

My high-level specialisms include quantum mechanics and quantum information theory, mechanics, and the philosophy of physics. I also love metaphysics and epistemology, and the philosophy of time.

In addition I have experience teaching from my time volunteering in Uganda. I spent 3 months teaching water health and sanitation to school children and the water community. Furthermore I have won public speaking awards in regional competitions in the UK!

I hope you consider me to be your tutor and help grow your enjoyment and understanding of maths, physics and philosophy.
Mathematics is the an astonishing and wonderfully useful tool for talking about the world. Whether you want to understanding the behavior of a physical system, or predict the likelihood of an event, or just budget for your month, maths allows us to navigate the universe more easily. In this class I can help you understand maths at almost any level, whether you in high school trying to pass exams, or an adult tired of being perplex by strange symbols and ideas! We will discuss your goals for the class and I will curate a course to improve your knowledge, teaching you concepts and going through problems together, and by the end you will not only enjoy the subject, but also be better equipped to pass your exams or use maths in your everyday life.
Physics is the subject that aims at the best and most fundamental description of nature. If you want ask why anything in the universe happens, at the very bottom of that explanation is the study of physics. In this class I can teach physics at any level, from the very basics of Newtonian mechanics, up to courses in quantum mechanics, solid state theory and general relativity. I will make the concepts and physical intuitions clear, whilst also guiding you through the intricate mathematics, and by the end you will be closer the a beautiful and exciting understanding of the cosmos and its workings!

Ellie
Philosophy, Human Geography, English as a Foreign Language
I am a MSc student of Environmental Governance (in the department of Human Geography) at the University of Oxford, currently studying (remotely) for exams and based in Amsterdam-West. I graduated with a 1st degree Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy in 2015 and have tutored English Literature, Language, History and Philosophy & Ethics. I also have a qualification to teach English as a foreign language (TEFL), and spent a year teaching English to refugees of war in Greece. My teaching methodology is very much student dependent. I have previously taught A Level (16-18 years) and GCSE (15-16 years) students, and also one younger student with learning difficulties. My lessons have previously been based on the exam guidelines and specific school syllabi, but have also often taken different directions dependent on student needs. Often this involves recapping more basic topics and concepts, before building upon these new foundations. The students will receive homework -- often this will be to finish work done in class, or a separate assignment based on that lesson which will allow be to assess how you respond to the class content without my supervision.

Téo
Business school student (EDHEC) gives math and English lessons from middle school to high school in Lille. Experience as a tutor at EDHEC
I mainly teach math lessons from middle school to high school. Before starting the lessons, I need to get in touch with the student to know their level, the areas where they want to improve and their objectives. Depending on the level, I adapt the work seen in class to the different points of improvement and suggest exercises consistent with what the student is stuck on. At the same time, I go over point by point the elements that were not for the student (in the Ds and the questions) I rework the exercises seen in class. Finally, and this is the most important, I advise the student on his working methods, with what state of mind to approach the exercises. I can also provide homework help in subjects other than mathematics: I got 17 in the HEC philosophy exams and I didn't get below 18 in subjects such as SES, Philosophy and history in the BAC. I recommend at least one math lesson per week in order to take stock of the week; it is regularity that allows progress. As a Tutor at EDHEC I already have experience of courses with high schools. I am a calm, composed and educational person. In terms of math, I got 18 in my math baccalaureate and then I went to a HEC preparatory class at Louis-Le-Grand in advanced math where I had more than 12 hours of math per week.

Issam
A study of the revealed books, Lesson One: “Come, let us ascend.”
May the peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you. I am pleased to present to you a reading and analysis of the texts of the holy books of the people of monotheism. Maybe I'll start from Isaiah's prophecy. And it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow unto it. 3And many peoples shall come, and they shall say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob: and he shall teach us his ways, and we shall walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
