Philosophy: General Philosophy and Specific Area Tutoring

From 22.65 € /h

Philosophy is the underpinning of life, knowledge and civilisation itself. Its effects are found in every field and there is no element of life which is left unchallenged by one of its branches. Metaphysics tackles all that is, epistemology challenges how we may even speak of knowledge and logic stands behind all the marvels of our age.

If you are an interested beginner, someone wishing to return to the discipline or even a current student then this course is for you. In this course we will tackle the basics of philosophy from Greece to France and to Germany. We will explore areas of metaphysics, logic, empiricism, rationalism and phenomenology. While such words may sound intimidating, within a short time they will loose their incomprehensible air.

This course is taught by a seasoned and qualified tutor with half a decade of formal philosophical training alongside 2 years of in person philosophical teaching alongside another 2 years of philosophical tutoring. In addition you will be benefiting from an additional 4 years of teaching students of all levels from teenagers to young adults and beyond.
This course also comes from a current philosopher currently publishing first class research in the field of phenomenology and the philosophy of love.

This is a remote course taught from UK time zone. However, all time zones may be possible. The course has the possibility of being specialized for a specific need. If such is the case, the details will be arranged beforehand.

Extra information

For this course you will need a laptop, a steady internet connection and a desire to explore all this beautiful subject has to offer.

About Me

I am a teacher with a long experience of a variety of educational formats. I have taught 1:1 tutoring sessions, university classes, skill coaching and even vocational instruction.
My teaching method is to meet every student at their level. Not to instruct every student along a fixed curriculum but to engage with the content on the grounds of intellectual exploration and pursuit of rigorous understanding.

Education

I completed a Bachelors degree in Philosophy from the University of Lincoln with first class honours. I was also selected for a number of rewards and accolades alongside being selected for a multitude of teaching positions within the university.
I also have experience in Theology, Sociology and English Literature.

Experience / Qualifications

I started my teaching career as a classroom assistant at a secondary school. This was followed up as a personal tutor for a number of years to KS3 students. Alongside this I spent 2 years as a University tutor in fundamental philosophy subjects. I also taught a philosophy class for 2 years alongside my studies. In the second year I organised the class, providing content for a number of other teachers.

Western Armenian is a language that has been put in the endangered language's list, and I personally believe that such a rich language should never die. I believe that I am taking a huge initiative to be one of the individuals who'll try to save this important language from disappearing.
I try to make my lessons as interacting as possible. The lessons and exercises will be provided through PowerPoint presentations. I try to listen to my student in order to prepare the lesson plan together, according to his needs and preferences.
I've always been the smiling and friendly tutor who makes the student comfortable during the lessons. I believe that in order to reach the students you need to understand them also emotionally and psychologically.

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.

My English, Swahili and History are made simpler as we will have more spoken interaction, fun activities that build on your confidence to speak and express your ideas as there is no wrong answer or questions in my class. We learn language through experience and real life scenarios. We incorporate, discussions, individualised learning and even explore learners curiousity. I' m a teacher by profession and now pursuing a masters degree in education management as I'm interested in researching on curriculum designs and how different learners abilities, curiosity and individual opinions are incorporated in schools and most importantly in classes. I believe every learner has something to offer. It's all about value addition where learners improve on themselves through consistency and practice rather than rote memorization of knowledge and information. I teach with so much patience, empathy and most importantly motivation to allow ourselves to fail and make mistakes in order to learn, no competition with others just us in a safe place to laugh at our slip up and correct them with a light heart.
