Philosophy of Religion: Thinking Deeply about Faith

Together, we'll explore core questions in philosophy of religion: Does God exist? What's the difference between religion and spirituality? Is it possible to prove that there is a supernatural realm? What does a materialist worldview imply about the existence of the mind - or the soul? Can life be meaningful without faith?
Whether you just started thinking more about these issues - or have been pondering these questions for a while - this class will help you gain clarity about your beliefs (and experiences) and help you move forward in your journey.

Extra information

No prior knowledge of philosophy is necessary.

About Me

I'm a university lecturer with a passion for making philosophy accessible to everyone. I have a Ph.D. in Philosophy from UNC-Chapel Hill, and I've taught at universities in the United States, Australia, the UK, and most recently, the Netherlands.

I especially like working with students who've never taken philosophy before, as well as with those who have tried philosophy and found it annoying, frustrating, or impossible to understand. I've been there -- the mandatory philosophy course I had to take in college was a disappointment. I was lucky to experience better teaching after that, and I hope to help others discover philosophy, and to learn to do it on their own terms.

My expertise is in the philosophy of mind, ethics, bioethics, epistemology, philosophy of religion, and philosophy of art.

Reviews (1)

Anya really knows her way around both in breadth and depth of her field. She asks really cool questions in such a way, that it stimulates thinking together. I can recommend her 100% based on the sessions we had and looking forward to the papers we will discuss :)
Have a research thesis (BA, MA, PhD) you've been struggling with for a while? Need help with defining your research topic or finding a good structure for what you want to say? Have a pressing deadline and a ton of work that still needs to be done or processed? I offer thesis help and guidance to help you get to the finish line with ease and on time. Daily meetings are available for projects with urgent deadlines.
What is the nature of consciousness? Is there a self? Is the mind identical to the brain? Can life have meaning in a physical universe? These are big questions that philosophy can help tackle. Together, we will talk about how to understand these questions more precisely, look at some answers, and learn how to approach both questions and answers using critical thinking tools. Who is this class for? Students who've never taken philosophy, adults who are interested in exploring big ideas, and scientists and entrepreneurs who'd like to learn how to think about these questions in a more rigorous way.

A Student’s Guide to History (GCSE, A LEVEL, HAT).
History is a challenging subject at both GCSE and A Level, both in terms of understanding and remembering the copious amounts of content as well as learning how to jump through the hoops of exam technique. This class is designed, by a former student who is now studying history at university, to assist in both obtaining the highest possible grade in history, but also to spread my passion for history and hopefully create a long lasting interest in my pupils. I am also able to help with other items which I studied at A Level, namely Religious Studies and Economics. In addition to this, I can provide assistance with the Oxford HAT test as I scored highly in it despite not being accepted.

Business school student (EDHEC) gives math and English lessons from middle school to high school in Lille. Experience as a tutor at EDHEC
I mainly teach math lessons from middle school to high school. Before starting the lessons, I need to get in touch with the student to know their level, the areas where they want to improve and their objectives. Depending on the level, I adapt the work seen in class to the different points of improvement and suggest exercises consistent with what the student is stuck on. At the same time, I go over point by point the elements that were not for the student (in the Ds and the questions) I rework the exercises seen in class. Finally, and this is the most important, I advise the student on his working methods, with what state of mind to approach the exercises. I can also provide homework help in subjects other than mathematics: I got 17 in the HEC philosophy exams and I didn't get below 18 in subjects such as SES, Philosophy and history in the BAC. I recommend at least one math lesson per week in order to take stock of the week; it is regularity that allows progress. As a Tutor at EDHEC I already have experience of courses with high schools. I am a calm, composed and educational person. In terms of math, I got 18 in my math baccalaureate and then I went to a HEC preparatory class at Louis-Le-Grand in advanced math where I had more than 12 hours of math per week.

Icon painting with egg tempera, individual classes, historical technique
Egg tempera is one of the most ancient historical art painting technique. It preserved as a main technique to paint orthodox religious icons. It is possible to learn it and paint your own icon. I have 9 years of practice teaching people how to do it. We work together step by step to understand the technique, the way to prepare wooden panel to paint an icon and the techniques of making a good project to make the icon fit to the board. We also learn how to make gold leaf layer on the nimbs. Your icon will be a real, crafted icon.

Recent graduate of Oxford University, theology and religion. A*s in A levels and 9s at gcses. Will provide high level tutoring in any subject (ks2-4, gcse, a level etc) related to my degree subject.

Can offer subject specific teaching, but also more generally essay writing practice, as well as oxbridge interview, personal statement, and entrance exam help, particularly for students in the state sector. While I cannot guarantee success, I will do my best to relay my experiences and hopefully provide students with helpful guidance. Classes will be catered specifically according to each student, however I will often ask for them to come along with recent examples of written work, or practice papers/questions.
