Bettina - SierreC$101

C$101Courses in Philosophy, Ethics and Critical Thinking

Trusted teacher: Philosophy is much more than a simple method; it's a more general way of positioning ourselves, even a way of life. At its core, it's critical thinking and the ability to see beyond what's left unsaid and unclear, and to find information, question, and arrive at a more nuanced vision of the world. Together we will begin with everyday facts to explore the foundations of philosophy, look for clues in the history of thought and learn to be independent in our critical thinking. I also support the questioning of major texts and problems posed in literature courses, philosophy courses in middle school, and preparation for the Swiss maturity, see prep for university studies. NB: Particular interest in feminism to better understand current societal issues is welcome. I reserve the right to refuse any indecent or misogynistic contact.

Dominic - AmsterdamC$32

C$32Philosophy tutoring for high school and university students

Philosophy can often seem like a frustrating and alien academic field, with arbitrary questions and endless arguments. However with a experienced philosopher as a guide (such as myself) the discipline can be revealed as an exciting exploration of ourselves and the world around us. Depending on what interests you, or what your course requires you to study, we will read texts together, analyse concepts and arguments and actually practice philosophy by having discussions and refining arguments. Philosophy is a magic sword when it comes to navigating the modern world. As we are bombarded with information, a engaged philosophy education gives you the critical thinking and logical analysis skills dismiss the rhetoric and nonsense and find the truth and falsity in a statement, making you a better citizen and friend. My specialism is the philosophy of physics, including the philosophy of quantum mechanics, philosophy of science and philosophy of time. My other interests include metaphysics and the political philosophy.

Ellie - Amsterdam, NetherlandsC$64

C$64Philosophy, Human Geography, English as a Foreign Language

I am a MSc student of Environmental Governance (in the department of Human Geography) at the University of Oxford, currently studying (remotely) for exams and based in Amsterdam-West. I graduated with a 1st degree Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy in 2015 and have tutored English Literature, Language, History and Philosophy & Ethics. I also have a qualification to teach English as a foreign language (TEFL), and spent a year teaching English to refugees of war in Greece. My teaching methodology is very much student dependent. I have previously taught A Level (16-18 years) and GCSE (15-16 years) students, and also one younger student with learning difficulties. My lessons have previously been based on the exam guidelines and specific school syllabi, but have also often taken different directions dependent on student needs. Often this involves recapping more basic topics and concepts, before building upon these new foundations. The students will receive homework -- often this will be to finish work done in class, or a separate assignment based on that lesson which will allow be to assess how you respond to the class content without my supervision.

Sid - Amsterdam, NetherlandsC$56

C$56Society and the Political Economy: Law, War, History and Philosophy

Trusted teacher: Vincent Van Gogh once said something to the effect that greatness is a series of little things coming together, Emile Durkheim the great French sociologist first 'coined', "the whole is more than the sum of its parts" and Montesquieu conceived of laws in relation to climate. What do all of these have to do with each other? The fact that the interpretation and understanding of one of the realms of socio-political knowledge is not enough to either understand that single discipline of study whether it be Law, History, Political Science, Economics, Sociology or Philosophy- you cannot separate any from the whole and be able to understand the Short, Nasty,BrutishTM nature that reality is and that conditions human life. While my studies and work have nigh been exclusively related to Law, my interests which pushed me there were/are seemingly very different. Through my experience I may humbly submit that the the perspectives that each discipline approaches problems with are crucial in solving very distinct "linguistic" problems within their specific paradigms. They however are victims of dogma as is academia in general it would be fair to say. Living in the times we do, it is not only necessary as a basic informational issue but as an issue of responsible citizenry, young adults must be well educated about the political economy. Whether you're looking to study and/or are currently studying and/or want to learn about any of the aforementioned subjects whether in conjunction with current coursework and/or assignments, or if you're just interested and would like to learn about a specific period in time, this is for you.

C$77Music history, art appreciation and aesthetics lessons

Trusted teacher: Why is classical music worth listening to? What is special about Bach or Mozart? Why can music touch us so profoundly? If you want some answers to these questions - but especially if you want to reflect on them, and expand your knowledge of music and art - then these lessons might be for you. For each student, I make a tailored lesson plan depending on their interests. This can be leaning more towards music history, towards a specific composer or time period that you like... everything is up for discussion!

C$89Premium History Lessons – Master the Past, Understand the Present - full methodology provided

Trusted teacher: All classes are given online. You will be provided with full methodology and an individual program will be generated for you to make sure you reach your goals. Philosophy is the foundation of all knowledge, the pursuit of truth through reason, and the key to understanding the world, human nature, and society. To study philosophy is to develop the ability to think critically, argue rigorously, and grasp the underlying principles that shape reality. Raised in a family devoted to intellectual discipline and excellence, I was immersed from an early age in classical philosophy, logic, ethics, metaphysics, and political thought. My approach is both historical and analytical, ensuring that students not only learn philosophical concepts but also develop the ability to question, debate, and apply philosophical reasoning to modern issues. A Rigorous Methodology for Mastering Philosophy: Understanding philosophy requires more than reading — it demands a structured approach to reasoning and analysis. I provide my students with a rigorous methodology that enables them to: -Analyze texts with precision, identifying key arguments and logical structures. -Construct well-formed philosophical arguments, mastering the art of reasoning and rhetoric. -Engage in dialectical thinking, refining their thoughts through structured discussion. -Write and express ideas with clarity and coherence, essential for academic and intellectual pursuits. A Dual Approach: The Great Thinkers & The Great Questions: History of Philosophy – The Evolution of Thought -Ancient Philosophy – Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Stoicism, Epicureanism. -Medieval & Scholastic Philosophy – St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, Duns Scotus, Suarez. -Modern Philosophy – Descartes, Kant, Rousseau, Hegel, Nietzsche. -Contemporary Philosophy – Existentialism, phenomenology, political philosophy, ethics, metaphysics. Philosophical Themes – Mastering the Core Questions: -Metaphysics & Ontology – What is reality? What is existence? -Epistemology – How do we know what we know? What is truth? -Ethics & Moral Philosophy – What is good? What is justice? How should we live? -Political Philosophy – What is the best form of government? What is freedom? -Logic & Argumentation – Learning how to construct, deconstruct, and refine arguments. -Scholasticism – Mastering the structured reasoning of medieval philosophy, essential for theology and metaphysics. - Languages and societal questions. A Course Designed for Your Needs Whether you seek to explore philosophy for personal enrichment or academic excellence, this program is tailored to your level and goals: -Academic support (school, high school, university) Essay & debate preparation -Personal enrichment (deepening your understanding of the great ideas) -Diplomatic, political, or legal insight (for those in governance, law, or international relations) Philosophy is not just an intellectual exercise—it is a way of seeing the world, questioning assumptions, and refining thought. With my structured methodology, you will gain the ability to navigate complex ideas with precision and confidence. Join me, and develop a mind that is sharp, informed, and ready to engage with the deepest questions of life, to find the truth and, most important, to understand why it is true and how to act upon it.

Lamia is an excellent teacher!! Thanks to her skills and knowledge, my 12-year-old improved her writing skills. Lamia is patient, and is willing to work until the goals are reached. She helped my daughter to understand her weak points, increase her vocabulary, and use more descriptive and creative language in her writing assignments. I strongly recommend Lamia to everyone who is struggling with writing and creativity.
