Essay writing principles and argumentative strategies
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
An argumentative, scientific or philosophical essay is a text which aims to present and defend a thesis. Writing such a text requires clear and concise prose, the ability to present ideas in a structured way and a good command of the logical principles that govern argumentative reasoning.I hold a PhD in analytical philosophy and I have 15 years of experience in Switzerland, Italy and England in the fields of academic research (philosophy and scientific psychology) and teaching. The aim of this course is to assist you in writing your essays by promoting the development of the different skills required to master all phases of this process.

About Me
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am now a postdoc researcher in philosophy and affective sciences at the University of Oxford, UK. After obtaining a BA in history of philosophy at the University of Turin, IT, and an MA philosophy at the University of Geneva, I pursued doctoral studies between Switzerland and England (Warwick University, King's College London).I am very passionate about teaching and academic mentoring and have always combined my interest in research and my interest in the transmission of knowledge. As I have no teaching duties in my current position, I am available to give lessons to motivated students of all levels.

I propose to give French support courses for all levels, occasionally or regularly :)

Premium History Lessons – Master the Past, Understand the Present - full methodology providedAll classes are given online. You will be provided with full methodology and an individual program will be generated for you to make sure you reach your goals.
Philosophy is the foundation of all knowledge, the pursuit of truth through reason, and the key to understanding the world, human nature, and society. To study philosophy is to develop the ability to think critically, argue rigorously, and grasp the underlying principles that shape reality.
Raised in a family devoted to intellectual discipline and excellence, I was immersed from an early age in classical philosophy, logic, ethics, metaphysics, and political thought. My approach is both historical and analytical, ensuring that students not only learn philosophical concepts but also develop the ability to question, debate, and apply philosophical reasoning to modern issues.
A Rigorous Methodology for Mastering Philosophy:
Understanding philosophy requires more than reading — it demands a structured approach to reasoning and analysis. I provide my students with a rigorous methodology that enables them to:
-Analyze texts with precision, identifying key arguments and logical structures.
-Construct well-formed philosophical arguments, mastering the art of reasoning and rhetoric.
-Engage in dialectical thinking, refining their thoughts through structured discussion.
-Write and express ideas with clarity and coherence, essential for academic and intellectual pursuits.
A Dual Approach: The Great Thinkers & The Great Questions:
History of Philosophy – The Evolution of Thought
-Ancient Philosophy – Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Stoicism, Epicureanism.
-Medieval & Scholastic Philosophy – St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, Duns Scotus, Suarez.
-Modern Philosophy – Descartes, Kant, Rousseau, Hegel, Nietzsche.
-Contemporary Philosophy – Existentialism, phenomenology, political philosophy, ethics, metaphysics.
Philosophical Themes – Mastering the Core Questions:
-Metaphysics & Ontology – What is reality? What is existence?
-Epistemology – How do we know what we know? What is truth?
-Ethics & Moral Philosophy – What is good? What is justice? How should we live?
-Political Philosophy – What is the best form of government? What is freedom?
-Logic & Argumentation – Learning how to construct, deconstruct, and refine arguments.
-Scholasticism – Mastering the structured reasoning of medieval philosophy, essential for theology and metaphysics.
- Languages and societal questions.
A Course Designed for Your Needs
Whether you seek to explore philosophy for personal enrichment or academic excellence, this program is tailored to your level and goals:
-Academic support (school, high school, university)
Essay & debate preparation
-Personal enrichment (deepening your understanding of the great ideas)
-Diplomatic, political, or legal insight (for those in governance, law, or international relations)
Philosophy is not just an intellectual exercise—it is a way of seeing the world, questioning assumptions, and refining thought. With my structured methodology, you will gain the ability to navigate complex ideas with precision and confidence.
Join me, and develop a mind that is sharp, informed, and ready to engage with the deepest questions of life, to find the truth and, most important, to understand why it is true and how to act upon it.

Courses in Philosophy, Ethics and Critical ThinkingPhilosophy is much more than a simple method; it's a more general way of positioning ourselves, even a way of life. At its core, it's critical thinking and the ability to see beyond what's left unsaid and unclear, and to find information, question, and arrive at a more nuanced vision of the world.
Together we will begin with everyday facts to explore the foundations of philosophy, look for clues in the history of thought and learn to be independent in our critical thinking.
I also support the questioning of major texts and problems posed in literature courses, philosophy courses in middle school, and preparation for the Swiss maturity, see prep for university studies.
NB: Particular interest in feminism to better understand current societal issues is welcome. I reserve the right to refuse any indecent or misogynistic contact.

Guidance in (scientific) writing and communication.Like no other, I know how difficult it can be to structure a research or project in a short time. You want to distinguish main issues from side issues and be in the final report to-the-point in communicating the results.
From MBO level 2 I went on to a doctorate in astrophysics at the University of Amsterdam. During this path, I have written hundreds of reports, published 6 scientific articles and presented my findings hundreds of times both informally and formally.
In addition, I have been a successful thesis supervisor of 3 bachelor students and 1 master's student.
I would like to help you get the best out of yourself with the help of my knowledge and experience. However, I do not want to do this with a leadership mentality, but from an advisory mentality in which we can put together as equals a nice end product that we both support. I can offer concrete support for your research/project in:
- Setup and planning
- Doing literature study
- Quality assurance
- Presentation and structure/content
- Popularizing the topics with catchy texts
- Review with a critical look
- Give layout and design input
- And much more
Do you think I can help you or do you want to know more? I would love to hear from you!
