Philosophy - philosophy course (introduction to philosophy; preparation for an exam; writing a dissertation...)

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 36 £ /h

=> During our first interview, I offer you the time devoted to setting up the three-step methodology that we will put in place together.

1/ [you]: What are your needs? A question ; concepts that escape you; the scope of a philosophical or theological text (major or not) whose meaning seems obscure to you; the role of a particular philosopher or theologian in his historical context; its influence for us today; a stream of thought; an entire branch of philosophy that interests you, etc.

2/[me]: Depending on your needs, I will offer you a course plan split into several sessions. We will set up a schedule taking into account the deadline before which you would like to acquire all the knowledge you want. I prepare personalized lessons.

3/[me and you]: I give you these lessons with Power Point slides. At the end of each lesson, I give you the Power Point as well as a lesson summary that I will give you in detail orally. This will allow you to not focus on note taking and focus on the content studied. Any questions during the course are welcome!

=> From basic level (secondary) to university level (master)

With six years of teaching in secondary school and two in High School, I have developed an efficient study methodology according to the goal pursued and a pedagogy that has improved thanks to all the feedback I have been able to glean. so far.

I also make popular videos of philosophy and theology (Faith and Reason) on YouTube. The air of nothing, I perfected my art (and still continue to do so) thanks to the many constraints that I imposed on myself:

1/ Make highly speculative content understandable by the uninitiated.
2/ Giving a taste for these subjects by showing the relevance of the concepts they mobilize for issues that are still current or new.
3/ Make everything fit in a video of maximum 15 minutes, highlighting key quotes, talking images, etc.

In short, you will be entitled to a quality and aesthetic course :-)

The type of course I teach aims at clarifying the difficulties related to the comprehension and production of philosophical texts. "How should I approach this philosophical problem or text? "In what philosophical and historical context does this issue/problem fit?" "Which texts should I read?" "How should I read them?""How should I organise the information to communicate philosophical ideas?" are some of the questions I can help you solve. I specialise in Wittgenstein later philosophy and in Ordinary Language Philosophy.

Hello,

I offer private lessons in mathematics (for middle and high school students up to the first year of high school), in English (from primary school to high school), as well as in French and philosophy (for high school and middle school students).

I am currently a third-year undergraduate student in a double degree program in philosophy and sociology at the University of Clermont Auvergne (UCA), and I am on an Erasmus semester abroad (where I am taking courses entirely in English) from September to mid-January. During this semester, I am therefore primarily available for online classes.

From mid-January, I will be able to offer face-to-face classes again, mainly in Clermont-Ferrand and, depending on the location, in Beaumont, Cournon-d'Auvergne, Chamalières and Aubière.

Distance learning courses can be supplemented by occasional exchanges via email, SMS or WhatsApp to facilitate organization, follow-up and transmission of information between sessions.

I have a demanding and versatile scientific background: baccalaureate with scientific specializations Mathematics, Physics-Chemistry and Life and Earth Sciences (with highest honors), then a year in a BCPST scientific preparatory class.
This dual skill allows me to combine technical rigor and a flexible educational approach.

My current experiences with diverse school audiences, through individualized and certified support at AFEV Auvergne and group homework help sessions with the Coup de Pouce association and first aid, have allowed me to develop a structured methodology, based on the consolidation of basics, active listening and progressive empowerment.

In my experience, this approach could suit your child's needs, particularly in learning to adapt their pace and work capacity.

I am happy to offer an initial diagnostic assessment session, in order to establish a work plan targeted to your child's specific difficulties.

I remain at your disposal for any further information.

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.

Do you find philosophy complicated, abstract, or difficult to study? I can help you understand it in a clear, structured way, tailored to your needs.

I offer private Philosophy lessons for secondary school, high school and university students, both to reinforce content and prepare for exams and to delve deeper into authors, movements and philosophical problems.

My goal is not only to help you memorize concepts, but also to understand the ideas, connect them, and develop your own analytical and critical thinking skills. We will explore philosophy in a clear and accessible way, without sacrificing the rigor required at each academic level.

How can I help you?
Understanding and explanation of authors, concepts and philosophical currents.
Exam preparation and subject recovery.
Commentary and analysis of philosophical texts.
History of Philosophy.
Philosophy for Secondary and High School.
Support in university subjects and assignments related to Philosophy and the Humanities.
Preparation of text commentaries, dissertations, and academic papers.
Development of study techniques and strategies to better understand the content.
Strengthening critical thinking, argumentation, and the ability to relate ideas.

I hold a degree in Humanities, with a strong background in Philosophy, thought, religion, and culture. I also have university training in Education and Religious Studies, as well as a Master's degree in Interreligious Dialogue. My teaching experience allows me to adapt my teaching methods and approach to the characteristics, knowledge, and objectives of each student.

Ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary history
European and Italian history
History of ideas and political thought
Greek philosophy
Medieval and modern philosophy
Kant, Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, and other major philosophers

Lessons are adapted to the student’s age, level, school programme, and personal interests. I can teach in Italian and provide support in English or Russian.

If your child is struggling with philosophy and feels intimidated by the upcoming baccalaureate exam, I offer tutoring in this subject. This includes exam methodology, explanations of key authors and concepts, and exercises tailored to your child's needs.

I am a Master's student in Geography and Geopolitics at the Panthéon-Sorbonne University and I have just completed a CPGE literary program (hypokhâgne and khâgne) at the Lycée Fénelon.

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!

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.

Olá! O meu nome é Filipa, sou licenciada em Direito pela Universidade de Lisboa e encontro-me atualmente a frequentar o Mestrado. Ofereço explicações e apoio escolar dedicados, com especial foco na área de Letras (Português e Filosofia).

Tendo alcançado 19 valores a Filosofia e 16 valores a Português nos exames nacionais, compreendo perfeitamente as exigências do programa escolar e os critérios de avaliação. O meu método de ensino foca-se em descomplicar a matéria, ajudando o aluno a melhorar a interpretação, a consolidar a gramática e a criar rotinas de estudo eficazes.

As aulas são dinâmicas, num ambiente sem pressões, totalmente adaptadas ao ritmo e às dificuldades do aluno (desde o ensino básico ao secundário). O objetivo é garantir que ganham autonomia, confiança e, consequentemente, melhores notas!

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 while allowing each individual to better understand themselves and analyze social issues.

In this course you will learn how to:
- read and analyze the structure of a philosophical text;
- to distinguish between the presuppositions, arguments and thesis of a text;
- identify the flaws in the arguments and build your own counter-arguments;

I will also provide you with some basic propositional logic to help you construct more effective arguments. Furthermore, 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. However, this course also aims to be an entry point to understanding more recent theories, which is why we will not hesitate to explore more contemporary texts related to feminist, ecological, technocritical, or transhumanist thought. All of this is done with the same goal: to develop and enrich your thinking.

Package deals available for regular students.
