It is true that the philosopher is the friend of wisdom, but above all, he is someone who does not want to make mistakes in reasoning. Philosophizing is a way of reasoning and a way of solving problems that will never have a perfect and definitive solution. Knowing the distance between the Earth and the Moon is not a problem of philosophy, because it is enough to measure to solve it. On the other hand, knowing, for example, what justice is, is a problem of philosophy. A meter will not be able to help us know the answer. We must go about it differently, and in the courses I offer, I will teach you how.

You will learn

- text reading strategies
- case studies with the aim of learning from experts
- methodology in philosophy
- writing an essay
- writing a text commentary
- a work on the philosophers of your choice
- an overview of the history of philosophy
- the general culture necessary to be able to philosophize

I will adapt to your individual needs. Each course is tailor-made. We will analyze where your difficulties lie and together develop a course program that will make you perform as quickly as possible. The basic principle of the courses I offer is dialectics, like Plato's dialogues: reflecting together, making theoretical contributions, asking questions and seeking answers, and testing the validity of reasoning.

For the past 10 years, I have been teaching German using the philosophy methodology, having studied philosophy at the Master's level at Aix-Marseille University. It turns out that the analytical mind is very useful even outside the confines of philosophy. Today, there are even fields of activity such as management with philosophy or philotherapy. In recent years, some German students have asked me to also teach them philosophy courses, and that is why I decided to offer philosophy courses directly.

I look forward to meeting you during a first lesson.

My name is Or, and I am a graduate of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University (ZCMU) in Hangzhou, China, one of the leading institutions for Traditional Chinese Medicine. Over the past five years of study, I focused on Chinese herbs, acupuncture, and Chinese philosophy, guided by experienced professors. Alongside my studies, I volunteered with oncology patients and children, an experience that deepened both my compassion and my commitment to holistic care. I also worked for four years as a Teaching Assistant, helping students understand complex TCM concepts with clarity and structure. Today, I run my own clinic, where I guide patients with Chinese medicine, and I also work in two companies as a Shiatsu practitioner, bringing hands-on experience to complement my academic background. I am passionate about sharing authentic knowledge of Chinese medicine in a way that is professional, supportive, and easy to understand — whether for students, healthcare professionals, or anyone curious about TCM.

Each lesson is tailored to the student's needs and objectives to promote their progress and success.

Together we will prepare a lesson to discover or reinforce previously acquired knowledge.
The idea is to learn effectively through privileged dialogue, a space where all questions are welcome.
We will focus on a particular school of thought or philosopher in order to be prepared by the end of the year!

Are you struggling to understand historical topics, structure essays, analyse sources, or prepare for an exam? I offer clear and engaging history lessons adapted to each student’s age, level, and goals.

I graduated from the British international school system and achieved 100% in AS British History. My strongest areas include ancient and medieval history, British history, warfare, classical civilisation, Hellenic mythology, the Cold War, and Black American history.

Lessons can focus on exam preparation, essay planning, source analysis, revision, historical debate, or the detailed study of a particular period. I explain not only what happened, but also the causes, consequences, people, and ideas behind historical events.

My teaching style is structured but conversational. I encourage students to ask questions, develop their own arguments, and build confidence step by step. Each lesson is individually prepared to make history understandable, memorable, and genuinely interesting.

Philosophy isn't just about memorizing authors and dates; it's about learning to think, argue, and connect ideas. If you struggle to understand Plato or Kant, find yourself bored in class, or need to improve your grades for university entrance exams, I can help!

Welcome to a comprehensive, student-tailored approach to understanding philosophy and ethics. As a holder of a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy and a current Master's student in Applied Ethics, I help students navigate complex theoretical frameworks and apply critical thinking to real-world issues. With over five years of experience as a tutor in Poland, including time spent teaching directly in a school environment, I bring a strong pedagogical foundation to every session, ensuring abstract concepts are clear, structured, and practical.
In our lessons, we will cover a wide range of topics customized to your specific goals. We can dive into core philosophy and epistemology by exploring fundamental texts and primary sources, or break down ethical theories such as utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics to see how they apply to modern life. We can also explore contemporary socio-political debates, bioethics, technology, and AI ethics, which happens to be a personal passion of mine, without losing sight of the broader philosophical discipline.
Beyond studying theoretical content, I place a strong emphasis on practical academic skills and critical thinking. Drawing from my background as a school teacher and private tutor, I focus on helping you evaluate complex viewpoints objectively, spot logical fallacies, structure philosophical papers, and refine your overall argumentation. Lessons are fully adaptable to your learning style and academic level, whether you are an absolute beginner looking for a clear introduction or an advanced student seeking in-depth feedback on your work.
