Kevin - LondonRecently active72€

72€Philosophy 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.

Hannah - Islington86€

86€Oxbridge entrance help and tutoring in essay-based gcse/alevel subjects

Recent graduate of Oxford University, theology and religion. A*s in A levels and 9s at gcses. Will provide high level tutoring in any subject (ks2-4, gcse, a level etc) related to my degree subject. These include Religious studies, ethics, philosophy, politics, english (literature at a-level, lit and lang gcse). Can offer subject specific teaching, but also more generally essay writing practice, as well as oxbridge interview, personal statement, and entrance exam help, particularly for students in the state sector. While I cannot guarantee success, I will do my best to relay my experiences and hopefully provide students with helpful guidance. Classes will be catered specifically according to each student, however I will often ask for them to come along with recent examples of written work, or practice papers/questions.

Percorsi sono individuali e personalizzati, basati su un metodo che unisce astrologia, antroposofia, alchimia, biochimica, sciamanesimo e costellazioni familiari/esoteriche. I Servizi (Cosa faremo insieme) Propongo percorsi di mentoring e sessioni di decodifica focalizzati su: • Logic Reset: Identificare e disinnescare i programmi mentali che bloccano la tua evoluzione. • Allineamento Biologico: Imparare ad ascoltare e direzionare l’energia del corpo come bussola di verità. • Navigazione Archetipale: Utilizzare i 12 Codici per mappare la tua realtà e prendere decisioni con chiarezza assoluta. • Sblocco della Vocazione Ribelle: Trasformare l'ombra e i conflitti interiori nel carburante per la tua realizzazione pratica. Sono Leo e il mio lavoro è accompagnare chi si sente fuori posto in un mondo di risposte pre-confezionate. Attraverso il sistema RCS (Ricordati Chi Sei), aiuto individui determinati a compiere un atto di consapevolezza e autonomia: smantellare le gabbie cognitive e riconnettersi alla propria fonte creativa e vitale (l’Anima). Ho scelto di operare al di fuori dei circuiti social per garantire la massima profondità e integrità in ogni percorso che guido. Lavoro con chi è stanco della teoria e cerca sostanza. Le mie sessioni sono spazi di verità, senza compromessi. Metto a disposizione la mia esperienza e i miei strumenti per aiutarti a vedere ciò che la Matrix nasconde, affinché tu possa tornare a essere l'unico autore della tua vita.

82€Reading English Literature; Elizabethan to the Modern

Confronting powerful literature is not only rewarding in itself but it teaches you much about yourself and the world around you. In order to get the most out of reading literature, a refined taste and ability to read must be taught. The act of writing is one of the highest forms of thought we possess. It teaches us how to organise our minds, how to express ourselves genuinely, and opens us to a multiplicity of lives.

Are you struggling with philosophy, or do you want to learn the subject or deepen your knowledge? I adapt to each student's needs to help them progress and succeed in philosophy.

Nishant - Canary Wharf43€

43€Introduction to Contemporary Political Theories and their developments

Political Theories mainly explore the theories around political structures that make up different societies. Introduction to Political Theories, as the name suggests provides students with explanations and insights into these seemingly overwhelming political theories, enabling one to understand their intricacies and evolution. These classes will prove to be of much use for someone who is just starting a bachelor's degree in political science. Also, students who are interested in International Relations might find these classes useful due to the context of the course being wholly international. The theories can get complicated quickly real soon and these classes will serve the purpose of getting the concepts cleared thoroughly. The classes will cover the following topics: Liberalism and its various forms Socialism and its variants Communism and its developments Feminism and its evolution Understanding the role of theories in historical and contemporary geopolitical conflicts The Liberalism and Communism debates Addressing the Glass Ceiling in Feminism The resources will be provided by me and shall be plenty. Being a scholar myself, there won't be any shortage of subject material to study and understand. Moreover, the classes can be modified to a reasonable extent in accordance with the student's syllabus or requirements. In a world where everyone's political opinions are getting quickly inflated and highlighted through social media, they can also affect mental health to some extent. Then, the only solution that remains is to understand the theories better. All of these billions of opinions are merely versions of the developments of a handful of these political theories. Owing to the nature of the classes they may also be useful for people who are curious about topics such as economics, political science, and history.

Alberto - Battersea38€

38€History, Philosophy, Sociology, Classical Civilization

I am a passionate History, Sociology and Philosophy teacher (both ancient and modern). Fluent in Italian, Spanish and English I have taught History and Sociology in Madrid, Barcelona, North Italy and London. I can also teach Politics. Outside of the classroom, I have written and directed school plays, organized the school journals and the olympic games of philosophy. My students are of differing ages and stages of proficiency, so I have plenty of experience teaching at all levels. I consider myself a friendly and patient teacher, concerned above all else with the all round development of my students' capacity for comprehensive thought. I have a strong belief in the unification of knowledge and am always striving to incorporate seemingly disparate branches of learning into a broader horizon in order to provide my students with a sufficiently complete picture. Availability The length and frequency of sessions can be determined by the student's requirements and availability. The first lesson For any given first session I like to get to know the student, find out where they're at in their course of study, and see what their current working methods are like. Usually, talking about the current piece of homework, the next upcoming exam, or due assignment is a great way to gauge their requirements, assess where my help is most needed, and thus collaboratively devise a joint programme of work. My teaching method  I bring a broad-based interdisciplinary knowledge to a range of subjects. This allows the opportunity to consider new ideas and to place different perspectives in conversation with each other, which is an instrumental skill for improving academic writing. A lesson with me will be interactive and lucid. I am adaptable as all students are different, so I will constantly monitor and remain attentive to our learning objectives.   My teaching methods vary, but as a rule I start with an in depth account of the subject, taking care to ground it contextually, and then proceed to a discussion of the main points. Whether the lessons take more of a dialogical form or the more typical lecture type format depends on the needs and preferences of the student. The lessons will be focused on studying techniques, written exercises with supervision and recalling techniques. We will work not just to close any gaps but also help the student in learning how to optimize private study. For students who need to get up to speed with content, I can offer sessions where I present you with ideas and new ways of understanding the topic. I approach each topic according to the immediate and long-range needs of the student, whether they require help in comprehending their topic, in preparing for exams, or in planning, executing, and proofing written work. Depending on the desire and temperament of the student, I can gear my lessons either towards cramming and exam survival or towards the nurturing of lifelong learning. My general policy is also to be flexible with what the student needs of me. For example, my payment is for the hour, however I am happy to look over work and send comments. My fee is not just one hour as I work with the student in all aspects of their learning via e-mails outside the lessons. Pushing forward If you're enthralled by your subject and wish to pursue it further, beyond the bounds of learning outcomes and assessment, then I can cultivate that passion in you. If you want to improve your critical or creative writing, I can help you articulate your vision and present it according to high standards; along the way I will instill good practices that will help you in any such task.

Septimus - Harrow on the Hill50€

50€The Social Sciences, Philosophy and Academic Writing.

A mature and serious postgraduate with international experience and vast repertoire of skills to impart to young learners and future academics, I seek to significantly improve confidence, performance and achievement. In my approach I study the challenges with the client and together set out a plan with a guiding timeline to reach goals and targets. I work to harness the student ability to digest complex and technical information to succeed in their academic career. The ability to focus, work to competing deadlines are habits that can be nurtured. Trust and rapport are the foundation to good learning atmosphere. Having worked in student services, course administration and tutored/mentored at University, I have become well rounded in the field of education. Coming from an ethnic background I understand cultural sensitivity and tact when dealing with sensitive matters and for most young students I easily build a rapport to gain their trust and respect. During my work experience I have acquired excellent time management skills, as well as interpersonal, relationship building and communication skills (written and oral), not to mention a keen eye for detail.

42€Fulfilling your potential within Religious Studies

My area of expertise is all things Religious Studies, including Philosophy, Ethics, and New Testament Studies. I am currently an Undergraduate at King's College London studying 'Theology, Religion and Culture.' I believe it is more beneficial for students to learn how to think analytically rather than just being spoon fed knowledge. This is done by first covering a specific topic and ensuring their understanding, and then having a spirited discussion about the content, finding out what the pupils opinions are. This is the key to excelling in any essay-based subject.

I provide homework after every lesson and also update parents as we progress, I also find that progress can often be seen in tests and reports at school. I have studied philosophy and ethics at both GCSE and A Level and have been offered a place at Clare College, Cambridge for October 2020 to study Theology, Religion and Philosophy of Religion. This is really a subject that I really enjoy. Please contact me for more information on any of the above.

42€Philosophy A level/ University Tutoring (online or in person)

Trusted teacher: I have studied Philosophy at A level and University and so I am in a good position to help students to understand content and then go onto use this understanding to write successful essays. Having done the A level (AQA) myself, gaining an A*, I know how the course works and what is required of students. Whilst philosophy is interesting, it can be a difficult subject to learn, therefore I aim to be patient with students as they get to grips with the content. Asking questions is key to properly understating philosophy so I allow plenty of opportunities for student to ask question and encourage that they do so. Philosophy also demands a high level of critical thinking in order to form the robust arguments that essays require, therefore this is certainly something that I aim to hone in any student I work with. Finally, being passionate about philosophy myself I will bring this attitude to all my lessons and hope so inspire the same passion in my students. I can also offer help to student applying to study philosophy at university to write their personal statement.

Penelope - Paris, FranceRecently active29€

29€Expertise in Philosophy, French and English: Bilingual student with three years of tutoring experience in Quebec

My methodology: Learning to structure one's thoughts to express oneself better My approach is based on a simple observation: success is not achieved through lack of effort, but often through a lack of method and confidence. My role is to transform subjects sometimes perceived as abstract (Philosophy, French) or intimidating (English) into concrete tools for success. The typical course of a session: 1. Quick diagnosis: We start by identifying the areas of uncertainty from the previous lesson or the difficulties with a specific exercise. 2. Taking action: No boring lectures! We work on concrete exercises, essay plans or oral practice (in English) to "learn by doing". 3. The "Montreal Method": Having worked for two and a half years in Quebec, I use a North American pedagogy that is very focused on encouragement, clear structure and student autonomy. 4. Summary & Objectives: We end each session with a recap of the key points so that the student knows exactly what to revise. What makes the difference: As a philosophy student, I don't just teach authors; I teach the methodology that allows students to think for themselves about major philosophical concepts. In English, my dual nationality allows me to naturally correct speech patterns and accents. In French, I've had the privilege of preparing dozens of students for their Baccalaureate exams, using a targeted approach. My experience has taught me that there are no wrong answers, only ideas that need to be better formulated.

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.
