Philosophy course – essay writing, methodology, argumentation and exam preparation

From 73 C$ /h

I offer philosophy courses tailored to each student's level and objectives, with work focused on understanding authors, constructing clear arguments, and the essay writing method.

The goal is to help the student better analyze a subject, formulate a problem, build a solid plan and develop their ideas rigorously.

We can work on the texts and authors studied in class, the preparation of homework, exams and oral presentations, as well as on difficulties with method or writing.

I study philosophy and literature at university and have extensive experience in private tutoring. Lessons can be one-off or regular, and packages of multiple sessions are available for longer-term support.

Latin – translation method, grammar and exam preparation

73 C$ /h

I offer Latin lessons tailored to the level and objectives of each student, with work focused on grammar, syntax and especially translation methods.

The goal is to help students understand the mechanics of the language, analyze sentences methodically, and gradually gain independence and confidence. We can work on difficulties encountered in class as well as preparing for homework, tests, and exams. Depending on individual needs, lessons can cover declensions, conjugations, syntax, grammatical analysis, translation, and reviewing texts studied in class.

I study literature and philosophy at university and have extensive experience in private tutoring. I adapt my teaching method to each student's pace and difficulties. Lessons can be one-off, to prepare for a specific exam, or regular to ensure long-term progress and support.

Italian lessons with a native speaker – conversation, grammar and expression

73 C$ /h

I offer Italian lessons tailored to the level and objectives of each student, whether for beginners or for those wishing to improve their oral expression, grammar or comprehension.

As a native Italian speaker, I can also work on conversation, pronunciation, vocabulary, and Italian culture, adapting the lessons to each student's needs. Lessons can be geared towards academic support, exam preparation, refresher courses, or simply a more fluent and natural way of speaking the language.

I am a university student studying literature and philosophy and have extensive experience in private tutoring. Lessons can be one-off or regular, and I can also offer packages of several sessions, including 10 lessons, at advantageous rates.

Experienced teacher, graduate of the University of Geneva, I am enthusiastic about helping students improve and enjoy studying philosophy.

The objective of this course is to offer a pleasant contact to students who encounter difficulties in philosophy, in order to allow them to gain self-confidence, while appreciating their regular participation and noting the progress made.

I have experience in teaching and support classes, I appreciate the contact with the students, but especially their smiles when they regain their self-confidence and feel capable of progressing.

It is a privilege for me to experience these moments that allow students to open up, express themselves and discover new perspectives.

Hello,

I am a student at the Lycée Henri IV (Paris, France) in literary preparatory class (first year, equivalent to a Bachelor 1 in French, Philosophy, History, Latin, Ancient Greek, English). I teach during the school holidays (June, July, August).
Patient and dynamic, I listen to students and can support them in several ways:
- methodology (dissertation, compound or linear commentary, version in ancient languages, oral and written)
- help with homework
- more precise courses based on both the cycle, college (Maturity, Switzerland) or Lycée (Baccalaureate, France) programs and the needs of the students (to work on well-targeted concepts, such as for example a work, an author, a genre, a literary movement etc). I would be delighted to be able to give lessons.

See you soon !

Are you looking to expand your knowledge of philosophy? Do you want to learn more about the great thinkers of the past and present? If so, then you’re in luck! I am excited to announce that I am offering one-to-one philosophy classes in English for all comers.

My classes are designed to provide a comprehensive overview of philosophy, from ancient times to the present day. We will explore the ideas of great philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Kant, and Nietzsche, and examine how their ideas have shaped the world we live in today.

In my classes, you will learn how to think critically, analyse complex arguments, and develop your own philosophical ideas.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced philosopher, my classes are designed to challenge and inspire you. I believe that philosophy is for everyone, and I am committed to making my classes accessible to all.

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.

Hello !
Are you an aspiring interpreter looking to learn consecutive singing or refine your technique? Do you want to train for a performance? You've come to the right place!
As a professional interpreter in Geneva, I offer my services to help you improve your skills.
I help you prepare for the conference interpreting diploma exams, so that you are ready and confident on the big day.
We will discuss the strategies to adopt depending on the type of discourse (real, educational, of varying difficulty, on all subjects), work on your presentation, tone, and of course on your expression in French, so that you can make the message your own in all circumstances.
Minimum level required: some basic note-taking skills are necessary for consecutive note-taking; we will develop your technique together if needed.
Languages offered: English to French, Spanish to French, and possibly French to English or Spanish (to practice technique rather than the language itself). Occasionally, you may be able to listen to me speaking from another language (B/C) into French (focusing solely on presentation and target language skills).
