Philosophy and Theology at Pre-U and A level (taught in English)

Von 28.36 Fr /Std

This class is aimed at students who are studying Philosophy and Theology at Pre-u (Cambridge) or A level, however, if prospective students would like to learn this subject at a more simplified level I am able to do that also. While this class is aimed at preparing the student for their final examinations, my aim is to also imbue love and interest in some of the most interesting questions asked by mankind such as; what is the nature of reality? Is morality subjective or objective? and do we really have free will? During this online class, students will also develop their argumentative/essay writing skills while also enhancing their general ability to think critically. If you are already well accustomed to this course, I can help you develop your understanding of the topic further, offering services such as how to plan a good essay as well as suggestions for further reading.

Zusätzliche Informationen

We will be working from set texts for which there will be online pdf versions available.
Considering the current pandemic, these classes will be conducted online using either "zoom" or "go to meeting" until restrictions are lifted.

Über mich

My favourite part of teaching is when I'm able to have an open and intellectual discussion with my students. I see discussion as the ultimate way of developing one's understanding of any humanities subject, especially Philosophy, as this gives the student the opportunity to express their own opinion. In doing so and defending it, this allows them to gain a wider understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of their argument and to also consider other perspectives which they may not have considered before. This is all in the spirit of coming closer to a better understanding of the truth which for me is the fundamental purpose of philosophy.

I am an ethics teacher for high schools in Bavaria and I will support you in preparing for the Abitur. It doesn't matter whether you're at a state or municipal school, at a private, recognized or approved high school - I'll review the material with you, explain difficult topics, set exercises and, for example, hold sample colloquia with you. Furthermore, I can support you with tools and methods from project management in learning itself, so that your time management improves and you receive your Abitur as stress-free as possible. Just try it!
PS The same offer also applies to German as a subject! :-)

It's up to us to determine your needs, together:

-Do you need to discuss so that ideas and concepts come naturally?
-Do you prefer to analyze the texts as closely as possible?
- Or do you simply need to prepare for an exam?

We will find the method that suits you!

May the peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you. I am pleased to present to you a reading and analysis of the texts of the holy books of the people of monotheism.
Maybe I'll start from Isaiah's prophecy.
And it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow unto it. 3And many peoples shall come, and they shall say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob: and he shall teach us his ways, and we shall walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Philosophy is much more than a simple method; it's a more general way of positioning ourselves, even a way of life. At its core, it's critical thinking and the ability to see beyond what's left unsaid and unclear, and to find information, question, and arrive at a more nuanced vision of the world.

Together we will begin with everyday facts to explore the foundations of philosophy, look for clues in the history of thought and learn to be independent in our critical thinking.

I also support the questioning of major texts and problems posed in literature courses, philosophy courses in middle school, and preparation for the Swiss maturity, see prep for university studies.

NB: Particular interest in feminism to better understand current societal issues is welcome. I reserve the right to refuse any indecent or misogynistic contact.

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.

Learn to think with the great philosophers of the past!

In these tutorials you will learn
- about the ideas of some of the most famous and influential philosophers of the modern age,
- how to read and understand original philosophical texts,
- most importantly, how to become a critical thinker and philosophise on your own.

In ten tutorials (each two hours long), we will follow the development of modern philosophy from the 17th century to the present. We will start with Descartes, look at Spinoza, Locke, Hume, Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, and end with Wittgenstein and Heidegger. We will cover topics in the philosophy of mind and language, in epistemology, metaphysics and ethics. We will discuss questions such as "Is the mind distinct from matter?", "Can I know anything?", "Can we distinguish between good and evil?", "Does God exist?" etc.

Note:
You can choose whether you prefer ten tutorials (each two hours long) or twenty tutorials (each one hour long).

About me:
I am a retired university professor who still enjoys teaching philosophy. I have taught many students (graduate and undergraduate) for several decades at reputable British universities. I obtained my philosophy doctorate at the University of Oxford. I have published many books and articles in philosophy. Among my favourite philosophers are Aristotle, Aquinas, Descartes, Kant, Wittgenstein and Heidegger.

Hello! I am a private tutor (in-person and online) in philosophy, history, social sciences, and political science. I have been teaching since 2014 and I support a variety of audiences (secondary, higher education, researchers). My teaching method is active: flipped classroom, Socratic debate, project-based learning, criterion-referenced assessments (rubrics), and rapid feedback. I help students formulate a solid problem, structure a plan, argue rigorously, and cite their sources correctly.

I work with digital tools (Moodle, Teams/Zoom, Zotero, NVivo/ATLAS.ti, SPSS/R) and I provide clear support: learning objectives, timetable, assessment criteria. The sessions alternate between summary contributions, guided exercises and discussion sessions. I value curiosity, intellectual discipline and academic honesty (zero ghostwriting, methodological support only).

Areas of expertise: ethics and political theory, history of ideas, discourse analysis, methodology (qualitative/quantitative). Languages: fluent French and English; German read/spoken, Portuguese read; Latin/Ancient Greek (reading). I am caring but demanding: I set explicit expectations, encourage autonomy, and remain available between sessions for targeted questions. If you are looking for structured mentoring, based on clarity, method, and the joy of learning, I will be happy to support you.

I offer sustainable and individually tailored tutoring in philosophy, ethics, animal studies, religion, religious studies, and especially Buddhism. Thanks to my many years of experience teaching students of all ages and learning levels, as well as a wide range of personalities, I know how to convey learning material in an understandable, motivating, and structured way.
As a doctoral student with a solid background in philosophy, interdisciplinary practical studies, and religious and Buddhist studies, I quickly recognize where support in understanding is needed and respond specifically and sensitively to the needs of each student.
Whether it's tutoring, exam preparation, proofreading, or life-oriented enrichment for adults—my teaching not only promotes knowledge, but also the joy of learning and sustainable philosophical and religious studies skills.
