Mind, Self, and Consciousness: An Introduction to Philosophy

A partir de 36.55 $ /h

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.

Información adicional

No special preparation is necessary. You can come with a specific question that you need some help thinking about, or with a broad interest in some philosophical topic. We can then set concrete objectives for making progress on your question, or have a more informal discussion about the topic that is of interest to you.

Philosophy of Religion: Thinking Deeply about Faith

36.55 $ /h

Together, we'll explore core questions in philosophy of religion: Does God exist? What's the difference between religion and spirituality? Is it possible to prove that there is a supernatural realm? What does a materialist worldview imply about the existence of the mind - or the soul? Can life be meaningful without faith?
Whether you just started thinking more about these issues - or have been pondering these questions for a while - this class will help you gain clarity about your beliefs (and experiences) and help you move forward in your journey.

I was accepted into Oxford University twice (undergraduate), and Cambridge University once for a postgraduate degree in English. Having therefore successfully won places three times at Oxbridge, I can coach you and help you submit the best possible application for either an undergraduate or postgraduate degree in any Humanities subject at these universities.

Filosofía es una de las asiganturas más complejas de todo el curso en Bachillerato. Tanto en el primer curso como en el segundo, es imprescincible comprender la historia de la filosofia en su totalidad para poder entender cada concepto y su correspondiente autor.
Con mi ayuda, siendo profesora de Filosofía y teniendo experiencia en ambos cursos (pimero y segundo de bachillerato), a la vez que profesora particular en alumnos de universidad en el grado de Filosofía, podrás entender de una forma amena y divertidad cada filosofo, sus teorías y tesis principales.

Profesor particular de Filosofía con una sólida base académica (Licenciado por la US, finalizando Máster en la UNED y cursando el de la UCM), potenciada por más de cinco años de formación autodidacta intensiva. Esta doble vía garantiza un conocimiento profundo, exhaustivo y una visión panorámica de la materia.

Mi método se centra en el rigor absoluto de las fuentes. No trabajo con resúmenes superficiales, sino que utilizo el Análisis Textual Riguroso para que el alumno aprenda a enfrentarse directamente a los textos originales de los filósofos. La prioridad es la identificación precisa de la tesis, los conceptos fundamentales y la estructura argumentativa tal y como aparecen en la fuente primaria. Esto es crucial para superar con éxito la EBAU, donde el comentario de texto es vital, y para las exigencias de cualquier Grado universitario.

De esta manera, la enseñanza se orienta al desarrollo del pensamiento crítico y la argumentación rigurosa, habilidades esenciales para superar las asignaturas y adquirir una comprensión duradera. Ofrezco clases 100% personalizadas, disponibles online o presenciales, adaptadas a las necesidades específicas de alumnos de cualquier edad y nivel.

This class is designed for students who want clear, structured, and accessible support in the Humanities, with a special focus on History and Theology. Whether you are preparing for exams, writing essays, or simply trying to understand complex concepts, this tutoring session helps you build a strong foundation and develop analytical confidence.

We explore historical processes, major philosophical and theological ideas, and how these shape culture, society, and modern thought. You will learn how to interpret texts, understand historical context, structure academic arguments, and connect ideas across different humanistic fields. The goal is to help you not only memorize content but truly understand it and express your understanding with clarity.

This class is ideal for university students or advanced high school students who want personalized guidance, deeper explanations, and support in assignments, readings, or academic writing within the Humanities.

Philosophy and Latin classes for high school students. Since these subjects are often new to students, it can be difficult to become familiar with them, their concepts, and their content. In Philosophy, we approach them from the ground up, using examples that help students understand the philosophical concerns of major theoretical systems and their authors, as well as the current philosophical landscape. Classes focus both on acquiring the subject matter and on the best methodology according to the context and requirements set by the student's homeroom teacher to ensure the best possible outcome for achieving a good result in high school, given its importance for accessing subsequent academic levels.

In Latin, we focus on a good foundation in its grammar to be able to successfully solve any analysis and translation, including support in syntax if necessary, as well as tips and strategies to face the University Access exam.

Concibo la enseñanza como un compartir y un acompañar. Compartir los conocimientos y acompañar en el proceso de aprendizaje, atendiendo a las dificultades específicas de cada persona para aprender. Para ello me apoyo en las nuevas tecnologías, pero solo como recurso, no como finalidad. La finalidad es el/la alumno/a y su proceso de aprendizaje, para lo cual el acompañamiento empático es el eje fundamental.

¿Buscas entender el mecanismo real detrás del comportamiento o simplemente memorizar el "mapa" académico? Mi metodología se aleja de la repetición de datos para centrarse en el Pensamiento Sistémico.
Como especialista en la intersección entre la neurobiología y las estructuras sociales, ayudo a profesionales e investigadores a integrar niveles de análisis que suelen presentarse dispersos: desde la inhibición escultórica del GABA en el cerebelo hasta el diseño de políticas públicas y el análisis de tendencias globales.
Lo que aprenderás en nuestras sesiones:
1.Optimización de Memoria de Trabajo: Sesiones diseñadas para agrupar información compleja en chunks de alto rendimiento.
2.Capacidad de Poda: Identificación de las variables críticas en un sistema (biológico, social o estratégico) para descartar el ruido y centrarse en la solución.
3.Visión Transversal: Conexión real entre Psicofarmacología, Neurociencia y el comportamiento humano en "arenas de acción" complejas.
Metodología:
Sesiones 100% remotas, desarrolladas en un entorno de baja entropía diseñado para el procesamiento profundo de conceptos. Ideal para perfiles que necesitan pasar de la teoría a la comprensión del "territorio" real.
