PhD at University of California teaches Propositional Logic, First-Order Logic, and Non-Classical Logics.

From 49.76 C$ /h

In my classes, I employ a dynamic and engaging teaching approach that combines traditional lectures, thought-provoking exercises, and challenging logical puzzles. I firmly believe that philosophy is not an isolated discipline but rather a vital link between various other sciences and real-world problems. As such, my teaching philosophy revolves around exploring the intricate interplay between philosophy and other scientific disciplines, bridging the gap between theory and practical applications.

This mathematics course is aimed at students in lower or upper secondary education who wish to strengthen their basic skills, fill in gaps or effectively prepare for an exam.

We will work together on understanding key concepts (arithmetic, geometry, algebra, functions, etc.) through clear explanations, progressive exercises and a method adapted to the pace of each student.

The goal is to restore confidence, develop logic and reasoning skills, and make mathematics more accessible and concrete.

This course is also suitable for students in scientific, technical or linguistic fields who need regular or occasional support.

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.

I have come very far in my development and am ready to share the knowledge that I have acquired over time. With pain, you can build empires based on bigger concepts, but the key is understanding your foundation - the platform where you stand and can feel free to navigate your external life. Want to know more? I'll teach you Philosophy in a fun way never seeing before. Does this resonate with you? I'll see you in class.

Mathematics is like a chain: if one link is missing today, the whole thing collapses tomorrow.
Does your child spend hours frustrated with their homework without their efforts being rewarded? When faced with mathematics, many students lose their footing, develop a real psychological block and end up saying to themselves "I'm bad at math".
Don't let this situation get worse.
If you don't act now, these gaps in your knowledge will accumulate. The student will struggle more and more, completely lose confidence, and risk jeopardizing their future academic choices (school records, university applications, entrance exams). Every investment you make today is a major problem you're preventing for their future.
The solution lies not in cramming, but in the method.
I am a computer science and applied mathematics engineer, a graduate of ENSIMAG, the leading engineering school in France in this field. Beyond my degree, I am here to help your child overcome their difficulties permanently and move forward.
My approach has already proven itself: I have personally supported more than 100 students, helping them break through their glass ceiling to go from an average of 8 to 16, or even more.

What I propose:

A precise diagnosis: I identify the missing links in the chain of his knowledge in order to repair the foundations.

The end of math anxiety: I create a trusting environment where mistakes become a tool for progress.

Methodological excellence: I transmit the rigor and learning strategies of the best engineering programs so that he gains autonomy.

Your child is not doomed to struggle with mathematics. They simply need the right mentor to rediscover the path to success and the joy of understanding.

My appointment slots are filling up fast. Contact me today to schedule our first meeting and develop a customized action plan for its success.

My teaching approach aims to bridge the gap between mastering the Arabic language and philosophical analysis. For high school students, I offer rigorous support in Philosophy, focusing on essay writing methodology and the critical analysis of concepts. Simultaneously, I teach Arabic at all levels, emphasizing structured expression and cultural richness. Whether for targeted academic support or to enrich your personal culture, I guide you toward independent thinking and fluency in the language.

Philosophy has got to be one of the most interesting things in the world, and understanding it is greatly helpful for living your life well and, most importantly, having great conversations with others! If you wanna be that guy who knows everything and can talk with people across different beliefs, then understanding the history of philosophy lets you understand what underpins their beliefs and maybe even what opposes them!

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.

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.
