Hello everyone,

My name is May, I am Franco-English and I offer online courses in philosophy and general culture.

I have been giving private lessons for 8 years. I always try to adapt as well as possible to each of my students, and to pass on to them the enthusiasm I have for philosophy. My classes are always caring, and demanding without being strict - I believe you learn best when you are relaxed and having fun. Especially when studying philosophy, which is above all incredible gymnastics for the mind, and a means of discovering other ways of thinking about the world, the things around us, human relationships. I remain attentive to my students and seek the best ways to move forward with them, to develop their analytical skills, and to consolidate their methodology while exploring fascinating subject matter.

I live in London where I am a writer, actress and director. I did a baccalaureate L (with honors TB), studied in the hypokhâgne/khâgne literary preparatory class at the Lycée Henri IV, then at HEC Paris (Msc in Business) and at the Sorbonne (bachelor's degree in philosophy, honors TB).

Do not hesitate to contact me for more information and to discuss your expectations.

See you soon !

Hello everyone, My name is May, I am Franco-English and I offer online courses in French and methodology. I have been giving private lessons for 8 years. I always try to adapt myself as well as possible to each of my students, and to pass on to them the enthusiasm I have for French and literature. My classes are always caring, and demanding without being strict - I believe you learn best when you are relaxed and having fun. Especially when studying French, which is above all the exploration of different stories, different modes of expression, and a means of discovering other ways of thinking about the world, the things around us, human relationships. I remain attentive to my students and seek the best ways to move forward with them, to develop their analytical skills, and to consolidate their methodology while exploring fascinating subject matter.

Philosophie niveau lycée : préparation au baccalauréat de philosophie
La philosophie est une matière souvent mal vue ou perçue comme difficile, c'est pour cela que l'enseignement de la philosophie est délicat. Pour se faire, il faut aider un maximum l'étudiant dans ses révisions, dans la compréhension et dans l'abord de la matière. Le but de ce cours est de mettre l'étudiant ou l'élève en confiance avec la matière afin d'aborder plus sérieusement les notions et les exercices demandés pour les examens finaux : le baccalauréat de philosophie. Afin d'aider au mieux l'élève ou l'étudiant, nous reviendrons ensemble sur les difficultés et ou les incompréhensions pour les corriger et permettre à ce dernier de réussir au mieux sa scolarité en philosophie. Nous aborderons alors plus sereinement les exercices écrits tels que la dissertation ou l'explication de texte. Afin de préparer au mieux l'élève ou l'étudiant, je propose plusieurs exercices écrits voire des bacs blancs en fin d'année pour évaluer concrètement l'élève ou l'étudiant et lui permettre de se situer pour le jour de l'examen. Plus on s'entraine, plus c'est simple pour la suite. Je suis toujours à l'écoute et remets en question mes méthodes si cela ne fonctionne pas. Ce cours est un lieu de bienveillance, sans jugement. Ce cours sert à progresser à sa vitesse sans d'autres élèves autour. Le cours se propose comme un cours magistral ou comme une discussion constante entre l'élève et moi-même.

Philosophy and the History of Philosophy (Socrates onward...)
""Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind." -Immanuel Kant, Critique of Pure Reason. This short but great quote is one of the reasons why Philosophy is such a unique discipline. Philosophy has the magnificent ability of exposing us to a broad field of ideas (like the one formulated by Kant) ranging between Metaphysics, Ethics, Ontology, Epistemology, Aesthetics, etc. and permitting them to enter our minds as they challenge our current worldviews. In addition, philosophy grants us a view of the tumultuous development and change of thought throughout different historical epochs. About this course: I know that Philosophy is not an easy subject, especially in the initial courses where professors commonly point at a random chair and try to make profound points about Platonic thought. I offer help to anyone who needs help with homework, assignments, tests, readings, etc. I am here for you. My main interests: Early Greek, Stoicism, Medieval, Enlightenment, Post-Enlightenment, Existentialism, Post-Structuralism.

Philosophy of Baccalaureate or for adults who want to start.
Philosophy for school age or adults. I am licensed. I love this subject and my enthusiasm is contagious. We will review the topics for which the student has exams or those that the student feels are of special interest. Textbooks sometimes make this subject more difficult and unenjoyable than it should be.

Benjamin
Philosophy/Ethics and History from sixth grade
I offer tutoring for the subjects philosophy and history from the sixth grade up to university. In philosophy, my main focus is on moral theory and epistemology. I have in-depth knowledge in these areas and am able to help students improve their understanding and skills in both of these subjects. Before the first tutoring session, I would like to discuss the topic in question in order to prepare the appropriate teaching material and put the teaching unit together. Anyone interested is welcome to get in touch.

Anya
Philosophy of mind and consciousness: an introduciton
What is the nature of consciousness? Is there a self? Is the mind identical to the brain? Can life have meaning in a physical universe? These are big questions that philosophy can help tackle. Together, we will talk about how to understand these questions more precisely, look at some answers, and learn how to approach both questions and answers using critical thinking tools. Who is this class for? Students who've never taken philosophy, adults who are interested in exploring big ideas, and scientists and entrepreneurs who'd like to learn how to think about these questions in a more rigorous way.
