Philosophy tutoring for high school and university students

Van 20 € /h

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.

Over

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.

Opleiding

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.

Leservaring

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.

Relevant Grades:

Classical physics I - 88% (1st)
Classical physics II - 80% (1st)
Quantum Mechanics I - 87% (1st)
Quantum Mechanics II - 93% (1st)

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.

Physics classes for students in secondary education or higher!

20 € /h

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!

Why is classical music worth listening to? What is special about Bach or Mozart? Why can music touch us so profoundly?

If you want some answers to these questions - but especially if you want to reflect on them, and expand your knowledge of music and art - then these lessons might be for you.

For each student, I make a tailored lesson plan depending on their interests. This can be leaning more towards music history, towards a specific composer or time period that you like... everything is up for discussion!

Being a native French speaker with a Bachelor’s in Literature and Philosophy, I can help you learn French in all its forms: oral and written comprehension, speaking and writing.
I have already given classes to many pupils (6 in total) so I have a good experience of giving classes. I am also flexible, so I can adapt to your needs and to your schedule.
Having obtained a Bachelor’s in Literature and Philosophy, I can also teach students how to analyse literary and philosophical texts in both English and French. I already helped students obtain their French Baccalaureate with very satisfying grades (17/20 for example).
If you have any questions or needs, I am open and ready to answer any questions very rapidly!
