Philosophy and Latin for high school, focused on results and access to university

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 26 C$ /h

Philosophy and Latin classes for high school students. Since these subjects are often new to students, it can be difficult to become familiar with them, their concepts, and their content. In Philosophy, we approach them from the ground up, using examples that help students understand the philosophical concerns of major theoretical systems and their authors, as well as the current philosophical landscape. Classes focus both on acquiring the subject matter and on the best methodology according to the context and requirements set by the student's homeroom teacher to ensure the best possible outcome for achieving a good result in high school, given its importance for accessing subsequent academic levels.

In Latin, we focus on a good foundation in its grammar to be able to successfully solve any analysis and translation, including support in syntax if necessary, as well as tips and strategies to face the University Access exam.

About Me

I love teaching and helping my students. I see teaching as more than just memorizing facts; we not only cover the necessary content but also focus on everything that affects learning, such as techniques that work best for each student, guidance, and even a space to address concerns that are impacting our performance. I like to have a relaxed atmosphere in class because I don't believe that learning should be a struggle, and because I think that feeling comfortable is the best way to overcome fear and aversion to a challenging subject. I don't want classes to be an obligation, but rather a pleasant time to share knowledge and experiences.

Do you want to maximize your chances of passing the entrance exam to study medicine and dentistry in Belgium? This training is for you!

Less than 7% of enrollees passed the exam in 2022. More than 93% of enrollees will therefore not be able to start their dream studies! Half of the exam covers topics as varied as ethics, empathy, communication and reasoning. Even if we all have notions on these subjects, few are those who have studied these subjects. By following my personalized training, you will study the basic theoretical notions, you will understand the requirements of the competition, you will learn the tips and tricks of the questions and you will practice on the exams of the previous years.

This individual online training was successfully given to students in Belgium, France (mainland and overseas) and Switzerland; they have multiplied by 10 their success rates in the competition! Plan your success to study and pursue your dream career

The type of course I teach is intended to clarify the difficulties related to the understanding and production of philosophical texts. "How should I approach this philosophical problem or text?" In what philosophical and historical context does this issue/problem fit? "What texts should I read?" How should I read them?" "How should I organize the information?" to communicate philosophical ideas?" are some of the questions I can help you solve.

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.

Hola,
¿cómo estás?☺️
My name is Joana. I am a native Spanish teacher, with a degree in Spanish Literature and Language and a Master's degree in Spanish as a foreign language (UNED Faculty).
■ Since 2009 I have been working at the Cervantes Institute as an OFFICIAL EXAMINER of DELE diplomas (Diploma in Spanish as a Foreign Language)
(I am fluent in French, so during the course I give all the necessary explanations in French on grammatical rules or vocabulary.
Having extensive teaching experience, I prepare students/adults for all levels of the DELE Spanish Diplomas and for all official Spanish exams within Universities.
● Spanish courses for adults who intend to travel or live in a Spanish-speaking country.
● Specialized fun Spanish courses for children (6-13 years old), audiovisual material, interactive games on the internet, choice of textbooks taking into account their age. Children learn the language through experiences and experiences while having fun.
● Help with school homework/exams for French students (all levels, + preparation for BTS, CNED)
● Spanish courses for adults who use Spanish in a professional context (Business Spanish: tourism/restaurants, law, etc.)
● Spanish pronunciation/phonetics/conversation courses (exercises provided by the Cervantes Institute). During my Master's degree, I specialized in Spanish phonetics for foreigners. Students can achieve a very good level of oral production even if they are beginners* :)
● Written production, grammar, oral and written comprehension.
● Spanish civilization course.
I live in Spain, so I give all my classes on Skype.
Skype classes are very flexible and as effective as face-to-face classes! (100% success rate for all Cervantes Institute DELE diplomas and all university exams!)
■ COMPLETE learning materials provided to all my students according to their personal level/age/interests (DELE preparation manual, grammar book, pronunciation guide, notes, mp3 audios)

I will be happy to read from you.

A greeting,
Johanne :) 👩🏻‍🏫🇪🇸

This course is aimed at secondary school students as well as students who wish to prepare for an entrance exam to higher education.

It offers a complete refresher course in mathematics and physics, with clear explanations, targeted exercises and an effective working method to progress step by step.

The goal is to strengthen the foundations, fill in the gaps and develop the right reflexes to succeed in both secondary school exams and university entrance exams.

Do you find philosophy complicated, abstract, or difficult to study? I can help you understand it in a clear, structured way, tailored to your needs.

I offer private Philosophy lessons for secondary school, high school and university students, both to reinforce content and prepare for exams and to delve deeper into authors, movements and philosophical problems.

My goal is not only to help you memorize concepts, but also to understand the ideas, connect them, and develop your own analytical and critical thinking skills. We will explore philosophy in a clear and accessible way, without sacrificing the rigor required at each academic level.

How can I help you?
Understanding and explanation of authors, concepts and philosophical currents.
Exam preparation and subject recovery.
Commentary and analysis of philosophical texts.
History of Philosophy.
Philosophy for Secondary and High School.
Support in university subjects and assignments related to Philosophy and the Humanities.
Preparation of text commentaries, dissertations, and academic papers.
Development of study techniques and strategies to better understand the content.
Strengthening critical thinking, argumentation, and the ability to relate ideas.

I hold a degree in Humanities, with a strong background in Philosophy, thought, religion, and culture. I also have university training in Education and Religious Studies, as well as a Master's degree in Interreligious Dialogue. My teaching experience allows me to adapt my teaching methods and approach to the characteristics, knowledge, and objectives of each student.

If your child is struggling with philosophy and feels intimidated by the upcoming baccalaureate exam, I offer tutoring in this subject. This includes exam methodology, explanations of key authors and concepts, and exercises tailored to your child's needs.

I am a Master's student in Geography and Geopolitics at the Panthéon-Sorbonne University and I have just completed a CPGE literary program (hypokhâgne and khâgne) at the Lycée Fénelon.

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.

Philosophy is not about memorizing names, dates, and theories. Philosophizing means learning to ask questions, recognize contradictions, analyze arguments, and better understand the world we live in.

I studied Philosophy and History and have spent decades working on philosophical, social, political, and technological issues. I offer one-on-one classes for both students who need a deeper understanding of philosophy and adults who simply want to think, learn, and discuss topics that interest them.

We can work on the history of philosophy, texts and authors, logic and argumentation, epistemology, ethics, political philosophy, materialism, philosophy of technology, artificial intelligence, or any other philosophical issue you want to understand or discuss.

You can also simply come with a question. No prior knowledge is necessary. We start with what interests you and brainstorm together.

My goal isn't to give you ready-made answers or convince you of a particular doctrine. I want to help you develop your own arguments, uncover the assumptions behind an idea, and learn to look at a problem from different perspectives.

Classes can be for academic support, exam preparation, introduction to philosophy, or individual philosophical conversation.

Classes in Spanish, German or English. Online and, by prior arrangement, in person in Barcelona and Badalona.

💻 Videoconference courses, from the orientation cycle to the final year of high school.

There's a phrase I hear in almost every first session: "In class I understand, but when I'm faced with the worksheet I don't know where to start."

It's not a question of academic level. It's that no one has ever taught students to recognize the type of problem they're facing. One function exercise looks like another, but the method isn't the same—and until this sorting happens automatically, each exercise starts from scratch. This sorting is what I work on first, even before reviewing the lesson.

🎓 I hold a Master's degree in Operations Research (applied mathematics) and have been tutoring mathematics for 5 years. I have worked with numerous students in the Swiss system, as well as in French, Belgian, and international programs.

📚 What I cover, canton by canton

The vocabulary varies from one canton to another, so let's be precise:

✏Geneva and Fribourg — orientation cycle (grades 9 to 11 HarmoS), preparation for entry into secondary school, then the four years of secondary school up to graduation
✏Vaud — pre-gymnasium and general tracks, preparation for the ECR exams, transition to gymnasium, then the three years of gymnasium
✏Neuchâtel — cycle 3, then high school
✏Valais — orientation cycle, then college
Preparation for the Matura exam, all specific options

🔍 How I work

1️⃣ The first sessions are mainly aimed at assessing the level of the student in order to identify the shortcomings observed.

2️⃣ Then we make a plan to fill those gaps: number of hours of work needed, parts of the lessons to focus on, lots of training and development exercises, etc.

3️⃣ We make sure to stay in regular contact with the student's class teacher to monitor their progress and align our work with what is being taught in class.

4️⃣ Then I provide exams similar to what may be offered in class.

5️⃣ Upon request, I write a monthly report to keep parents informed of their child's level throughout the course.

✨ Why this profession

My favorite moment is when a student starts explaining their approach aloud without me having asked anything. It means they're no longer trying to guess what I expect—they're thinking. The rest always follows.

🗣️ Lessons in French or English. Response within the day. An initial exchange of approximately 20 to 30 minutes maximum will be free: I prefer to understand the situation before proposing anything.

Olá! O meu nome é Filipa, sou licenciada em Direito pela Universidade de Lisboa e encontro-me atualmente a frequentar o Mestrado. Ofereço explicações e apoio escolar dedicados, com especial foco na área de Letras (Português e Filosofia).

Tendo alcançado 19 valores a Filosofia e 16 valores a Português nos exames nacionais, compreendo perfeitamente as exigências do programa escolar e os critérios de avaliação. O meu método de ensino foca-se em descomplicar a matéria, ajudando o aluno a melhorar a interpretação, a consolidar a gramática e a criar rotinas de estudo eficazes.

As aulas são dinâmicas, num ambiente sem pressões, totalmente adaptadas ao ritmo e às dificuldades do aluno (desde o ensino básico ao secundário). O objetivo é garantir que ganham autonomia, confiança e, consequentemente, melhores notas!

Philosophy classes tailored to each student's level and objectives, in Spanish or English. We will explore epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, and the history of philosophy through clear explanations, text analysis, argumentation, and debate. The goal is to understand philosophical ideas, develop critical thinking, and learn to express and defend arguments clearly and rigorously.

With a master's degree in philosophy and experience as a teacher, I offer personalized courses to understand major philosophical concepts and effectively prepare for the baccalaureate exams.

Students will learn to analyze a topic precisely, formulate a problem statement, develop a well-reasoned argument, and engage with authors without simply reciting their notes. We will work on essay writing, text analysis, philosophical culture, and written and oral expression.

Each session is tailored to the student's level, difficulties, and objectives. Using concrete topics, texts, and their own work, I help them acquire a solid methodology, develop their critical thinking skills, and formulate their own thoughts with clarity and rigor.

The courses are aimed at high school students preparing for the baccalaureate, students following the HLP teaching as well as adults wishing to discover or deepen their knowledge of philosophy.

I invite you to discuss your objectives and challenges in order to develop a teaching method and techniques that meet your expectations. The course is based on dialogue and mutual trust: it depends on the subject matter being taught, but above all on your desires and goals.
For the past fifteen years, I have taught philosophy, history and political science in various contexts: at university, in high school, in adult education programs, and by giving private lessons to French speakers and non-French speakers.

In the three disciplines offered, my courses aim to enable you to acquire the essential knowledge and methods, and to develop your skills in an individualized way.

I would be happy to support you in preparing for the Baccalaureate, in philosophy and in HGGSP.
