Philosophy and Theology at Pre-U and A level (taught in English)

Van 30.96 € /h

This class is aimed at students who are studying Philosophy and Theology at Pre-u (Cambridge) or A level, however, if prospective students would like to learn this subject at a more simplified level I am able to do that also. While this class is aimed at preparing the student for their final examinations, my aim is to also imbue love and interest in some of the most interesting questions asked by mankind such as; what is the nature of reality? Is morality subjective or objective? and do we really have free will? During this online class, students will also develop their argumentative/essay writing skills while also enhancing their general ability to think critically. If you are already well accustomed to this course, I can help you develop your understanding of the topic further, offering services such as how to plan a good essay as well as suggestions for further reading.

Extra informatie

We will be working from set texts for which there will be online pdf versions available.
Considering the current pandemic, these classes will be conducted online using either "zoom" or "go to meeting" until restrictions are lifted.

Over

My favourite part of teaching is when I'm able to have an open and intellectual discussion with my students. I see discussion as the ultimate way of developing one's understanding of any humanities subject, especially Philosophy, as this gives the student the opportunity to express their own opinion. In doing so and defending it, this allows them to gain a wider understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of their argument and to also consider other perspectives which they may not have considered before. This is all in the spirit of coming closer to a better understanding of the truth which for me is the fundamental purpose of philosophy.

This course is primarily an introduction to philosophy, ideal for beginners. We will approach the main currents, from Antiquity to the Modern Age.
For those who then want to go further, I offer more in-depth courses in the following disciplines: general epistemology, anthropology, philosophy of science, philosophy of nature, moral philosophy, aesthetics, metaphysics.

Basic knowledge about Islam:

Doctrine ('Aqeedah):
- The Muslim believes in Allah. Who is that?
- The Muslim believes in the Angels. Who are they? and who created them?
- The Muslim believes in all the heavenly books. Which are they?
- The Muslim believes in all prophets. Also in Jesus and Moses. How is that possible?
- The Muslim believes in the Last Day. What does that mean? What comes after this day?
- The Muslim believes in fate. Is everything already described? Did everything have to happen to us the way it happened?

Jurisprudence (Fiqh):
- (in the making)

Last year, I completed a Master's degree in Law with a specialization in Economics and Social Sciences at ULB. Passionate about my studies, I have been tutoring for several years. I am also interested in academic methodology. For several years, I have participated in academic support programs as a tutor or homework helper. My students describe me as dedicated and encouraging.
I have a particular interest in public law, but I can also help with private law courses, as well as language courses. I also have a bachelor's degree in philosophy, and I am currently pursuing an international master's degree in education, so I can assist with non-legal courses (philosophy, sociology, etc.).
My course has allowed me for several years to have part of my courses in another language, English or

Philosophy makes your world bigger. It helps make it easier to deal with just about everything. Whether it concerns personal problems or social issues. Great thinkers can give you confidence. But above all, inspiration!

Whether you are looking for answers to life's big questions, or help with your homework. I am there for you with webcam sessions, or in person. By examining your specific questions together, we increase both our insight and enjoyment of life.

Philosophy follows wisdom. This class will explore a panorama of philosophical texts through the poetic diction of stories and myths. Offering close-readings and lectures from Heraclitus to Shakespeare, Kierkegaard to Ávila, students are invited to engage and formulate new ideas. Personal requests are very welcome in consultation.

Being a native French speaker with a Bachelor’s in Literature and Philosophy, I can help you learn French in all its forms: oral and written comprehension, speaking and writing.
I have already given classes to many pupils (6 in total) so I have a good experience of giving classes. I am also flexible, so I can adapt to your needs and to your schedule.
Having obtained a Bachelor’s in Literature and Philosophy, I can also teach students how to analyse literary and philosophical texts in both English and French. I already helped students obtain their French Baccalaureate with very satisfying grades (17/20 for example).
If you have any questions or needs, I am open and ready to answer any questions very rapidly!

This private class offers an exploration into rich and complex tapestry that is Chinese culture. Based on your interest, you'll learn more about Chinese history, philosophy, traditional and modern Chinese society, literature, religion, etc.

With China's importance on the international stage growing incessantly, I believe it's very useful to understand the Chinese way of thinking, to develop awareness of cultural sensitivities and to gain some insight in the history that structures China's perspective on the world.

Originally structured as a lecture-based course, the content can also be restructured into a more interactive learning design. Whether you're interested in ancient classical philosophy, dynastic history, modern Chinese society and popculture or the economic development of China, this course has something to offer.

Classes with me is specific to each's needs.
As per the need or requirements of the student, the classes will be designed. For Example: the length of each class, the kind of sessions.

Session and the course length can be decided as per the need of the student and mutual consent

Besides the conventional theme of a language class I offer out of the box 🎁 learning experience to each student which makes learning more positive and last longer for the betterment of the receiver.

I teach and understand the concern of each student before the beginning of any session and plan a blueprint for my students individually as every case is unique. I propose to discuss this before we begin and make the necessary changes of required. I like to personalize the learning sessions and length according to the 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!
