PhD at University of California teaches Propositional Logic, First-Order Logic, and Non-Classical Logics.

From 35 $ /h

In my classes, I employ a dynamic and engaging teaching approach that combines traditional lectures, thought-provoking exercises, and challenging logical puzzles. I firmly believe that philosophy is not an isolated discipline but rather a vital link between various other sciences and real-world problems. As such, my teaching philosophy revolves around exploring the intricate interplay between philosophy and other scientific disciplines, bridging the gap between theory and practical applications.

This mathematics course is aimed at students in lower or upper secondary education who wish to strengthen their basic skills, fill in gaps or effectively prepare for an exam.

We will work together on understanding key concepts (arithmetic, geometry, algebra, functions, etc.) through clear explanations, progressive exercises and a method adapted to the pace of each student.

The goal is to restore confidence, develop logic and reasoning skills, and make mathematics more accessible and concrete.

This course is also suitable for students in scientific, technical or linguistic fields who need regular or occasional support.

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.

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.

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. To achieve this, I help students acquire the necessary methods, understand unclear course content, and train them in text commentary and essay writing exercises. The goal is to cultivate an interest in philosophy while equipping them with the keys to exam success.
The first step is to meet the student and determine together the difficulties and expectations of the lessons.
Master's degree and teaching qualification in philosophy. 5 years of teaching experience and currently preparing a thesis in environmental philosophy. Bilingual French-English.

Programs are individual and personalized, based on a method that combines astrology, anthroposophy, alchemy, biochemistry, shamanism, and family/esoteric constellations.
Services (What we'll do together)
I offer mentoring and decoding sessions focused on:
• Logic Reset: Identify and defuse the mental programs that block your evolution.
• Biological Alignment: Learn to listen to and direct the body's energy as a compass of truth.
• Archetypal Navigation: Use the 12 Codes to map your reality and make decisions with absolute clarity.
• Unlocking the Rebel Vocation: Transform your shadow and internal conflicts into fuel for your practical fulfillment.

I'm Leo, and my job is to accompany those who feel out of place in a world of pre-packaged answers. Through the RCS (Remember Who You Are) system, I help determined individuals take a leap of awareness and autonomy: dismantling cognitive barriers and reconnecting with their creative and vital source (the Soul). I have chosen to operate outside of social media to ensure maximum depth and integrity in every journey I lead. I work with those who are tired of theory and seek substance. My sessions are spaces of truth, without compromise. I offer my experience and tools to help you see what the Matrix hides, so you can once again be the sole author of your life.

Italian is a rich and expressive language, and my lessons are designed to help students gain confidence and clarity in both speaking and writing. I offer personalised Italian lessons adapting each class to the student’s level and goals.

With academic training at the University of Oxford, I combine a clear and structured approach with practical exercises in grammar, vocabulary, conversation, and writing. Lessons can focus on everyday Italian, exam preparation, or the analysis of literary texts and essays.

Each lesson is engaging, goal-oriented, and tailored to the individual student.

In primary and secondary school, I had many friends who struggled with specific subjects, which I didn't. It also happened the other way around. It was great to be able to help each other with this. When that wasn't possible, we received tutoring from a great coach, and this helped us all pass our exams.

School can be frustrating, overwhelming, and overwhelming. Having the right person to help you through this and provide guidance can reduce a lot of stress. Besides tutoring, I'm also a Psychology student and could help with planning, fear of failure, ADD/ADHD, etc.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us!

Symbolic writing
philosophy
Simplified explanations
Literary texts
Novels, poetry, and prose. Example: (1) Can we live in peace?

I am almost certain from the beginning that this question is incorrect, and on the other hand, I add with conviction that the wording of this question is wrong, since the complexity that surrounds this title, or rather the motives that lie behind the curtain, makes it difficult to fathom its depths easily.

At first glance, this article (inquiry or question) seems naive, like a question born of a little girl's innocence to her mother, like a spiritual breath that should be distributed fairly without being touched. But in reality, it is a mischievous question surrounded by many barriers, which are made by man himself. Therefore, it can be said that it seeks solutions to problems caused by the ignorance of superstitions, fanaticism, deviation, extremism, straying from the truth, evils, slipping into the abyss of religions, and so on. As for the penultimate point, it is a copy of the action and theorizing of the first suspect, as is the case since religion (its basic pillar) generally has a clear, sound, and logical goal, and its branches, most of which lie in organizing social life and contributing to its improvement, from the mothers of morality and settling disputes, inheritance, marriage, love, and enjoining good... some of which have been brought and others left for what has been revealed to us in a clear indication to us to complete the path in the best way. And here is the crux of the matter: this (thing) that is given that is likely to make peace or against it? To create conditions and means for making peace or breaking it? To decide on it or to deviate from it? So what is the matter of this peace that everyone loves morally and practically in spreading without end or limit and is not enabled! If we consider peace as a constitution with conditions, its articles and principles are the abstract moral terms by which a person acts in word and deed, in character and morals and even inwardly (intention) as it is a purity in the soul that does not need evidence seen in public or benefited from by a certain person or certain people to the exclusion of others in an indication of “selfishness” that undermines the principles of peace and affects its integrity, as we can look at the matter as the air for the lungs that has been corrupted and has crippled the work of the second.

Now, when one considers the aesthetic and fundamental aspects of peace, its point of intersection becomes clear: humanity. Ironically, the very means by which it undermines the right path is the same means by which it poses questions that supposedly underpin the ultimate goal of peace—such as, "Can we live without violence... without conflict... without animosity... without hatred... etc."—without addressing the necessary justice and reality.
