Philosophy is one of the most rewarding subjects a student can study, and one of the most demanding. I tutor philosophy and ethics at A-Level (AQA and OCR), IB Diploma, and undergraduate level, working with students from confident philosophers preparing for top university applications to beginners encountering rigorous philosophical thinking for the first time.

Sessions are tailored to each student. With exam-track students I focus on essay structure, argument construction, careful textual analysis, and the specific demands of the syllabus. With students preparing for Oxbridge applications and interviews, I work on intellectual flexibility, handling unfamiliar questions under pressure, and developing the rigorous reasoning admissions tutors look for. With students new to philosophy, I focus on foundational skills: clear definitions, careful reading, structured argument, and precise writing.

Subjects I cover include epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, philosophy of religion, political philosophy, moral and applied philosophy, and Islamic intellectual tradition. I also supervise IB Theory of Knowledge essays and presentations, and IB Extended Essays in philosophy, world religions, history, and English.
My background: BA (Honours) in Philosophy and Master of Teaching (Secondary) from the University of Melbourne, ranked #1 in Australia and #16 globally for Education in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Master of Arts in Applied Islamic Ethics from Hamad Bin Khalifa University, with the Best Thesis Prize for the programme and Dean's Honours List, and a forthcoming publication invited by the Journal of Islamic Ethics. Currently preparing a doctoral application to the University of Oxford. Thirteen years of teaching and curriculum design experience, including as the lead teacher at Australia's largest pre-medical education provider, where I built the humanities curriculum for GAMSAT preparation.

I work patiently and with genuine intellectual investment, and I believe a tutor's role is to develop the student's independent learning capacity rather than to substitute for it.

Students will work toward writing their own original essay or improving upon one of their current works. Students will explore strategies for creative writing, revision, and storytelling while learning how to write with clarity, depth, and purpose. Through guided exercises, students will develop the skills needed not only to become stronger writers, but also more thoughtful communicators of ideas and critical thinkers.

Writing is one of the most powerful tools for expressing ideas, exploring identity, and engaging with the world around us. In this class, students will learn how to strengthen their voice, develop meaningful narratives/arguments, and craft thoughtful, polished pieces of writing through techniques inspired by the Thematic Option Honors Writing Program. Designed as a practical and engaging course, this class encourages students to think critically while building confidence in their academic and creative writing abilities.

We begin with your own philosophy reading: What kind of philosophy do you enjoy? Which author(s) would you like to discover or explore further? Which philosophical text is important to you?

From there, the challenge is to deepen and broaden your thinking by renewing the way you read philosophy, through both new approaches and new sources.

A key element of my approach is working with both contemporary materials and classical texts. I specialise in topics related to politics and ethics, while also engaging with art, science, psychology, technology, education, and more.

Of course, I am open to any philosophical interests or questions you may wish to explore. For instance, I can assist you with practical tasks that call for philosophical reflection. In short, philosophy is co-creation.

Je peux également enseigner en français.
Ik kan ook lesgeven in het Nederlands.

Bachelor's and master's theses often fail not due to a lack of student effort, but due to a lack of a clear common thread or a faltering academic writing style. Are you struggling with the structure of your introduction, the transitions between chapters, or do you not know how to incorporate your supervisor's feedback?
As an experienced consultant, I work daily on writing and structuring complex, formal documents. I help you bring structure to your research, academically refine your writing, and ensure a logical structure from A to Z. Please note: I do not write your thesis for you, but I coach you toward a final work you can be proud of.

For university students looking for extra support with their academic English, I also offer comprehensive tutoring programs, and editorial support. In my own academic experience, my written English was improved immensely by the support that I received from editors and advisors during the production of my thesis, but it is also my experience that these invaluable learning supports are automatically offered in coursework studies. Working together with students, I help them to analyse and implement editorial best practice in long-form academic papers, and thesis projects.

Please note: I am not an expert in the stylistic preferences which may vary between departments and disciplines, however I do my best to take these preferences into consideration when offering support at the tertiary level.
