Essay writing principles and argumentative strategies
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
An argumentative, scientific or philosophical essay is a text which aims to present and defend a thesis. Writing such a text requires clear and concise prose, the ability to present ideas in a structured way and a good command of the logical principles that govern argumentative reasoning.I hold a PhD in analytical philosophy and I have 15 years of experience in Switzerland, Italy and England in the fields of academic research (philosophy and scientific psychology) and teaching. The aim of this course is to assist you in writing your essays by promoting the development of the different skills required to master all phases of this process.

I am now a postdoc researcher in philosophy and affective sciences at the University of Oxford, UK. After obtaining a BA in history of philosophy at the University of Turin, IT, and an MA philosophy at the University of Geneva, I pursued doctoral studies between Switzerland and England (Warwick University, King's College London).I am very passionate about teaching and academic mentoring and have always combined my interest in research and my interest in the transmission of knowledge. As I have no teaching duties in my current position, I am available to give lessons to motivated students of all levels.

Tips and Tricks for Sociology Essay Writing, Targeted to GCSE and AS/A Level Students.I am eager to help young people feel confident when writing sociology essays. I will place an emphasis on deconstructing the questions students are given by encouraging them to reword the question to offer a different perspective on it. In addition, the main aim of a sociology essay is to convince the reader more and more of the argument you have claimed in the introduction. I want to help students do this by helping them follow the PEAL structure, i.e. Point, Evidence, Analysis, Link back to question. I have found this a very effective and coherent way of structuring an essay. I have studied Sociology for 7 years now, at AS/A Level, Undergraduate Level and now at MSc level at LSE. I was awarded First-Class Honours in my undergraduate as well as 'Best Dissertation of the year' by the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. I am seeking a potential career in academia so I truly feel passionate about engaging with the lesson plans on this platform and helping students feel confident in their essay writing.

How to be Happy: The Science and Philosophy of HappinessAre you happy?
Hey, my name's Dan, and I want to offer you a course all about exploring what happiness is and how you can achieve it. To do this, we'll be integrating modern scientific research and evidence with millennia of ancient philosophies, belief systems, and cultural insights. By doing this, you get all the wisdom you need and it's all backed by science!
This course will give you a new worldview on life to make you happier, wiser, and more self-aware. To do this, we don't just look at happiness- we look at human nature itself, evolution, the human brain, the body, morality, religion, emotions, meaning, self-actualisation, self-transcendence, and much more. All of these topics are explored from scientific and philosophical perspectives, drawing on what the experts and evidence in all these fields are saying.
And none of this is abstract: this whole course is all about giving practical advice to help you become the best version of yourself. But unlike other courses on happiness, all that advice is backed by real, trustworthy scientific research: so we know that it all works.
This course is for absolutely everyone. Whether you stopped science before GCSEs or chose it as your career, this course has a colossal amount of information that I've integrated from lots of different fields, and can present to you in an easy and friendly way.
For more information on the course's structure and what we'll be doing together, just drop me a message. Take care!

Courses in Philosophy, Ethics and Critical ThinkingPhilosophy 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.
