Religious studies is an important reference point for developing ones sense of self in order to greater understand and relate to others in the world around us. Depending on the students needs and preferences we can study a range of exam content and learn how to effectively answer questions, or we can openly explore theological and religious based questions and concepts. My expertise is within Christian and Hindu teachings and we will explore a range of “big life questions”, philosophy and ethics teachings and learn how to apply these lessons to everyday life.

About Me
I am excited about the opportunity to teach a range of classes and skills.
Education is an invaluable tool that should be accessible to all. I believe that it is necessary to always expand your knowledge further by going beyond the restrictions of being told what to study within a school and classroom environment, and you should instead have autonomy in exploring subject content that interests you
I employ significant diversity, adaptability and dynamic teaching methods throughout my classes in order to keep you engage, motivated and excited about the content and discussions.

In our globalising world a second language is incredibly valuable whether you want to travel or work internationally or learn for fun.
My classes will include a range of written, reading , listening and speaking exercise.
From personal experience, I consider the most effective method of studying a language is through practice. Make mistakes, identify these and proactively correct them. I will cover grammar/ vocabulary content necessary to pass GCSE/ beginner/ intermediate level exams, but I am also keen to offer conversational and “useful” Spanish so that my students can actually use the language when necessary.

Discover the magic of the original Tarot of Marseille through a traditional, spiritual and playful approach! A teaching faithful to its Neoplatonic, Hermetic and Christian roots.

Although the Tarot of Marseille appeared in Italy at the end of the 15th century, it is now practiced and interpreted according to the late tradition of 19th-century occultists, which opposes the original philosophy of its creators, cutting the tarot off from its roots.

I propose that you go back in time and immerse yourself in the practice of tarot from the early centuries through teaching that is both theoretical and practical.

With me, you don't just learn to interpret cards according to the original Western tradition, you experience the spiritual power of each card so that the tarot becomes a true compass for your soul, in the manner of our ancestors.

If the Tarot of Marseille seems obscure to newcomers, it's because we are often unfamiliar with the Neoplatonic, Hermetic, Christian, and Kabbalistic myths and symbols hidden behind each card. To benefit from a quality learning experience, it's not necessary to memorize endless lists of definitions; simply understanding the story, myth, or philosophical/theological concept associated with each card is enough to grasp its full essence and complexity.

My courses are structured around two main axes:

I) INTERPRETATION: MYTHS, CONTEXTS AND SYMBOLS

To grasp the true essence of the Tarot of Marseille, it is essential to understand it not with our modern perspective but with the eyes of a 15th-century European.
Therefore, the student will begin by familiarizing themselves with the cultural, philosophical and religious context specific to 15th century Italy, then they will discover the myths, stories, symbols and teachings specific to each major arcana.

II) SPIRITUAL EXPERIMENTATION

The Tarot of Marseille was initially conceived as a teaching aid but also as a tool allowing the soul to experience the Divine by illuminating the path that leads to the source of Life. To fully grasp the Tarot of Marseille, it is necessary to experience the spiritual power of each card through meditation exercises, prayers, and mystical experiences.

After each lesson, you receive a PDF summary so you can then put it into practice without forgetting anything!

Philosophy is one of the most rewarding subjects a student can study, and one of the most demanding. I tutor philosophy and ethics at A-Level (AQA and OCR), IB Diploma, and undergraduate level, working with students from confident philosophers preparing for top university applications to beginners encountering rigorous philosophical thinking for the first time.

Sessions are tailored to each student. With exam-track students I focus on essay structure, argument construction, careful textual analysis, and the specific demands of the syllabus. With students preparing for Oxbridge applications and interviews, I work on intellectual flexibility, handling unfamiliar questions under pressure, and developing the rigorous reasoning admissions tutors look for. With students new to philosophy, I focus on foundational skills: clear definitions, careful reading, structured argument, and precise writing.

Subjects I cover include epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, philosophy of religion, political philosophy, moral and applied philosophy, and Islamic intellectual tradition. I also supervise IB Theory of Knowledge essays and presentations, and IB Extended Essays in philosophy, world religions, history, and English.
My background: BA (Honours) in Philosophy and Master of Teaching (Secondary) from the University of Melbourne, ranked #1 in Australia and #16 globally for Education in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Master of Arts in Applied Islamic Ethics from Hamad Bin Khalifa University, with the Best Thesis Prize for the programme and Dean's Honours List, and a forthcoming publication invited by the Journal of Islamic Ethics. Currently preparing a doctoral application to the University of Oxford. Thirteen years of teaching and curriculum design experience, including as the lead teacher at Australia's largest pre-medical education provider, where I built the humanities curriculum for GAMSAT preparation.

I work patiently and with genuine intellectual investment, and I believe a tutor's role is to develop the student's independent learning capacity rather than to substitute for it.

Tired of school methods that don't really get you talking? Or of inaccurate translations of sacred texts?

Shalom, my name is Yaacov. Originally from the former Yishuv of Jerusalem, Hebrew (modern and biblical) is my native language. Trilingual and passionate, I offer customized courses, free of unnecessary jargon.

Choose your path (or combine both):
• Modern Hebrew Course (Daily Life & Aliyah): Forget pure theory. The focus is on oral expression, confidence, local slang, and practical vocabulary for surviving and communicating in Israel.
• Biblical Hebrew, Torah & Mysticism (Kabbalah) Course: Ideal for those passionate about history or spirituality. Learn the root system, decode the profound meaning of traditional texts, and read the Torah or Kabbalah in the original language. (Introduction to Yiddish possible).
• Yiddish Path: Connect with the authentic language of our ancestors, whether for everyday conversation, culture, or the study of specific texts.
I adapt to your pace, whether you need to learn the alphabet (Aleph-Bet) from scratch or perfect your fluency.
