Discovering Stoicism: Lessons from ancient philosophy for the modern world

Master's student in physics at EPFL and literary at heart, I obtained the baccalaureate with honors (19.8/20 general average) and willingly help in learning the French language, its literature, its philosophy and its culture if interested. I propose to give French support courses for all levels, occasionally or regularly :) I have previously given lessons to children. Having several young nephews and nieces and having regularly carried out baby sittings, I am used to supervising children. I can also help with English classes (after having lived for several months in Cambridge, England), mathematics, science or provide general academic support for homework help for children. Currently doing my master's thesis in Japan, I give lessons via webcam. Do not hesitate to contact me if you are interested. Hope to meet you, Iolene

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.

Passionate about history, I am at your disposal for any help you would need to organize and study your EDM / geography / human sciences courses.

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.
