$41Fundamentals of Western Alchemy: History, Philosophy, and Practice

Alchemy is often dismissed as myth or metaphor, but in truth it was a practical science that shaped chemistry, medicine, and natural philosophy for centuries. This course introduces you to the real fundamentals of Western alchemy, taught by a practitioner who has studied and worked with traditional methods firsthand. We will cover: • The Four Elements and the Three Philosophical Principles (Sulfur, Mercury, Salt). • The core laboratory operations: calcination, distillation, sublimation, and more. • The great sources of alchemy, from the Emerald Tablet to Paracelsus. • How alchemy functioned as a genuine experimental discipline, not just allegory or “spiritual symbolism”. This is a class for serious beginners and curious minds who want to understand alchemy as it truly was: both a practical art and a living tradition. No prior knowledge required, only curiosity and respect for the subject.

$48Philosophy and Ethics Tutoring (A-Level, IB, Undergraduate)

Philosophy is one of the most rewarding subjects a student can study, and one of the most demanding. I tutor philosophy and ethics at A-Level (AQA and OCR), IB Diploma, and undergraduate level, working with students from confident philosophers preparing for top university applications to beginners encountering rigorous philosophical thinking for the first time. Sessions are tailored to each student. With exam-track students I focus on essay structure, argument construction, careful textual analysis, and the specific demands of the syllabus. With students preparing for Oxbridge applications and interviews, I work on intellectual flexibility, handling unfamiliar questions under pressure, and developing the rigorous reasoning admissions tutors look for. With students new to philosophy, I focus on foundational skills: clear definitions, careful reading, structured argument, and precise writing. Subjects I cover include epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, philosophy of religion, political philosophy, moral and applied philosophy, and Islamic intellectual tradition. I also supervise IB Theory of Knowledge essays and presentations, and IB Extended Essays in philosophy, world religions, history, and English. My background: BA (Honours) in Philosophy and Master of Teaching (Secondary) from the University of Melbourne, ranked #1 in Australia and #16 globally for Education in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Master of Arts in Applied Islamic Ethics from Hamad Bin Khalifa University, with the Best Thesis Prize for the programme and Dean's Honours List, and a forthcoming publication invited by the Journal of Islamic Ethics. Currently preparing a doctoral application to the University of Oxford. Thirteen years of teaching and curriculum design experience, including as the lead teacher at Australia's largest pre-medical education provider, where I built the humanities curriculum for GAMSAT preparation. I work patiently and with genuine intellectual investment, and I believe a tutor's role is to develop the student's independent learning capacity rather than to substitute for it.

Ye-Eun - Queens, NY$48

$48Preparation for the Baccalaureate in Philosophy / Literature

Student in Masters of Philosophy at Columbia University and former student at Sciences Po Paris, I give preparation courses for the Baccalaureate in Philosophy and / or Literature. The baccalaureate in philosophy test requires, apart from a good culture in philosophy, especially preparation. It is not easy to understand yourself what is expected in a dissertation or a text commentary. Having myself passed the baccalaureate in 2015 (19/20 in philosophy (best philosophy score in the Asia-Pacific zone of the test of 2015), and a general average of 19.55 / 20), I can help to make this less painful preparation.

$42Introduction to Philosophy: Ideas in the History of Western Thought

I specialize in helping students understand basic philosophical concepts in the areas of metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics. It's possible to grasp, for instance, what Plato said about the truth or what Kant said about ethical behavior without resorting either to over-simplification or jargon. I assign readings and ask the student to write short papers on various subjects.

Kevin - Québec, 10, CanadaRecently active$86

$86Philosophy courses: methodology, general knowledge, argumentation. I have 10 years of experience. Non-academic teaching.

Trusted teacher: 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.

Polyglot specialist with 10 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching. (Mulhouse)

Kevin

Kevin is a genius, who is capable of breaking down complex concepts into manageable, useful bits. If you think of a really large basket of vegetables and fruits. You know all the nutrients are good for you, but it would be tedious to try to eat it all raw. But then, you get a juicer or blender or 'Nutribullet', and juice all those vegetables and fruits into a refreshing smoothie. You can then drink that smoothie as quickly or slowly as you wish, and still get all the necessary nutrients... That's what Kevin can do - he juices all the complex intricacies of the German language into something you can understand and digest. His methods are unconventional, but very helpful in laying a proper foundation for a successful language learning journey. Very highly recommended.
