Applications for Classics at Oxford and Cambridge both involve a language assessment, for which I provide expert tutoring and guidance in as a first-class Classics and English graduate from Oxford.

Classics at Oxford uses the Classics Admissions Test (CAT) for Course I (for students with Latin/Greek to A Level) or the Classical Language Aptitude Test (CLAT) for Course II (for students without Latin/Greek) to decide who will be invited for interview. At Cambridge only candidates shortlisted for interview will be required to take such assessment, which will be a translation exercise for the 3-year course, or a language aptitude interview for the 4-year. All assessments involve careful application of linguistic knowledge, whether of classical languages or English, which I will ensure you are extremely well-prepared to do.

Applicants are also required to submit two pieces of written work prior to interview, which I am able to advise about if requested.

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.

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.

I teach Latin and Ancient Greek through a reading-based approach that brings the languages to life. Rather than memorising rules in isolation, students build grammatical understanding and vocabulary by engaging with authentic texts — discovering how the language actually works in context. Along the way, we explore the rich cultural and historical worlds behind the words, connecting language learning with the ideas, stories, and societies that shaped the classical world.

For Italian, I focus on practical communication and real-world listening skills. Using podcasts and conversational practice alongside structured grammar resources, students gain confidence in speaking and understanding Italian as it is used in everyday life. My aim is to make language learning both effective and enjoyable, helping students progress steadily while developing a genuine connection with the language.

I have come very far in my development and am ready to share the knowledge that I have acquired over time. With pain, you can build empires based on bigger concepts, but the key is understanding your foundation - the platform where you stand and can feel free to navigate your external life. Want to know more? I'll teach you Philosophy in a fun way never seeing before. Does this resonate with you? I'll see you in class.
