Private philosophy lessons - essay writing, commentary, exam preparation
course price icon
From 33 C$ /h
arrow icon
Having graduated with a degree in Modern Literature with equivalents in Philosophy (University of Lyon III) and from the dramatic writing program of the National Theatre School of Canada, I give philosophy courses for all ages.

I teach both the introduction to major concepts and foundational texts, as well as the methodology of essay writing and commentary, both oral and written—with an emphasis on argumentation and public speaking, skills I also practice as a writer and director. Trained in teaching philosophy to children by Brila, I can guide high school or university students in essay writing as well as introduce children to philosophical inquiry. I have been giving private lessons for over ten years, first in Lyon and then in Montreal.

About Me
A playwright and stage director, trained in dramatic writing at the National Theatre School of Canada, I’ve been giving private lessons for over ten years, between France and Quebec.

My own schooling took me through the hypokhâgne and khâgne (CPGE) in Avignon, at Lycée Frédéric Mistral - with Latin, Greek and Cinema as options - then two years of undergraduate study in Philosophy and Modern Literature, before earning my degree in Modern Literature at Université Lyon 3.

I started out teaching in Lyon, giving private lessons at the elementary, secondary and college levels, then continued in Montreal from 2019 on, with students aged 10 to 19. Since 2018, I’ve also been running theatre workshops with young people in Ouzaï, Lebanon.

Alongside teaching, I write plays and direct productions.

Playwright and director, graduate of the playwriting program at the National Theatre School of Canada and holder of a degree in Modern Literature (equivalencies in Classical Literature and Philosophy, University of Lyon III), I give French and literature lessons for all levels, from primary school to university.

I support my students in grammar and written expression, as well as literary analysis, essay writing, and oral presentation preparation—with a particular focus on reading texts and public speaking, informed by my work as a playwright. I have been giving private lessons for over ten years, between Lyon and Montreal.

This course is for anyone who wants to learn a little more about philosophy or sociology. Whether it is strengthening knowledge for a pre-university diploma or simply out of intellectual curiosity, this course is for you.

Make links. Here is the key word of my working method. I sincerely believe that disciplines such as philosophy or sociology lend themselves to a cross-analysis with other knowledge (moreover, historically, philosophy is anchored in mathematics!)
The course will be organized the way the student wishes, thus leaving freedom of learning. What will not be of his goodwill will then be the content of the course, which will be at my expense and will allow, if possible, to cover all the problems and issues that the student wishes to talk about.
