About Me

I am a teacher and head of studies specializing in Philosophy and Humanities and in preparing for competitive examinations. I teach introductory philosophy (history, logic, ethics, and argumentation), critical thinking, and academic writing; and I prepare official tests with a focus on the Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan police), private security, and administrative assistants, among others, including essential legal syllabuses, psychometric tests, written and oral expression, and study skills.

My teaching combines rigor and clarity: structured explanations, measurable objectives, guided practice, and continuous assessment. I work with proprietary materials, real-life case studies, and Socratic debate, reinforcing student autonomy and their ability to reason precisely. I maintain a close yet demanding approach: respect, academic honesty, and a commitment to progress define every class.

I'm defined by values of professionalism, pedagogical excellence, and lifelong learning, with an openness to science and technology as a support for study. I offer online and in-person classes in Barcelona, with small groups and individual support.

My vocation has been inspired by a wide variety of students: candidates who are combining work and study, people returning to their education after years of study, young people with philosophical curiosity, and professionals seeking to improve their reasoning and communication. Seeing how they transform their effort into concrete results is the driving force behind my teaching.

Administrative Assistant: Pass with a method tailored to your needs, from home

I'm Fran, and I prepare candidates for the Administrative Assistant exam with 100% online classes. I create all the materials myself, based on the official syllabi and programs for each exam: no generic notes, just up-to-date, clear content designed for you to understand, not just repeat.

Graduated with a master's degree in human sciences, my love of the French language, whether in terms of reading, comprehension, oral presentation, writing and literary knowledge, is just waiting to be shared. The same goes for English, my CERCL level being C1. Besides that, it is also possible that I can help you in the humanities courses.

Each person having their own background, the first course aims to determine what are the short and long-term objectives, what are the student's abilities and difficulties and what are the sources of motivation for learning. When all of this has been discerned together, a course is mapped out to the final destination which is the achievement of the student's goals.

I got 4 A*s in my A levels that I took in June 2025 and I have tutored many students over the past 4 years. I motivate students and help them understand topics through activities of their preference. I tutor children of all ages. This class is intended up until age 15/16 maximum as curricula differ too much past that point. I also offer an A-level specific class.

I was accepted into Oxford University twice (undergraduate), and Cambridge University once for a postgraduate degree in English. Having therefore successfully won places three times at Oxbridge, I can coach you and help you submit the best possible application for either an undergraduate or postgraduate degree in any Humanities subject at these universities.

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.

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'm a current LSE undergraduate studying Psychological and Behavioural Science, and I scored a 7 in HL Psychology in my IB exams in 2025 (42/45 overall). Excelling in IB Psychology requires more than simply memorising studies; it’s more about knowing how to structure high-scoring SAQs and ERQs under intense time pressure.

I help HL and SL students master Paper 1, 2, and 3 criteria, construct flawless critical evaluation (AMRC/TEACUP) arguments, and ace the IA.

Happy to do one-off sessions for a particular topic, or ongoing weekly sessions if you're working toward exams over a longer stretch.

Philosophy is a fascinating but often difficult discipline to grasp. For this reason, it discourages many. Yet it is essential for understanding the world around us. Philosophy develops critical thinking and helps to better organize one's thoughts, while allowing each individual to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and to better analyze social issues. I offer courses tailored to your needs and objectives.

For high school students:
- Analysis of the texts discussed in class
- Explanation of the concepts used in your course
- Fundamentals of commentary and essay writing to succeed in the baccalaureate exam
- General knowledge to prepare you for higher education

For undergraduate students at university:
- Reading and analysis of key texts from the philosophical tradition
- Consolidation of the commentary and essay writing method
- Logic of the proposals: a return to the fundamentals
- History of philosophy: focus on a school of thought of your choice
- If needed, work on philosophical texts in English or Ancient Greek
- If needed, philosophical discussions on your favorite topics
- If needed, support in choosing a thesis topic for the master's degree

For adults wishing to discover the wonderful world of philosophy:
- Reading texts related to your interests
- History of philosophy courses covering the periods that interest you
Discussions combining cinema, literature and philosophy
- If needed, proofreading of your personal writings (additional cost)

In this course, you will acquire a solid philosophical foundation through the study of the great authors of the tradition: Plato, Aristotle, Hobbes, Locke, Kant, Nietzsche, and Marx, to name just a few. This course also aims to be an entry point to philosophy as it is practiced today; therefore, we will not hesitate to explore more contemporary texts from diverse traditions (feminism, political ecology, technocriticism, transhumanism, etc.). All of this is done with the same goal: to develop and enrich your thinking.

Package deals available for regular students.

What if human culture is not exclusively human?
Zooanthropology, or On Becoming Cultural with Non-human Animals is an introductory 10-lesson course exploring the relationship between humans and other animals and asking a fundamental question: how much of what we call “culture” has actually emerged through our relationships with other species?
The course offers a different perspective. Rather than considering culture an exclusively human achievement, zooanthropology understands it as something that has emerged through relationships, encounters and exchanges between species. Other animals are not simply objects of human knowledge or resources for human development: they are subjects who have influenced, shaped and transformed us.
This perspective invites us to reconsider our own position in the world and to question some deeply rooted assumptions about the supposed boundary between humans and other animals. It also encourages us to decentre our perspective and to become more attentive to forms of intelligence, communication, emotion, learning and relationship that do not seem to resemble our own.
The course is transdisciplinary, drawing on anthropology, philosophy, ethology and other fields. Along the way, you will encounter concepts such as intersubjectivity, epiphany, hybridisation and epimelesis, among many others. But don't be intimidated by the terminology! No previous knowledge of anthropology, philosophy, ethology or zooanthropology is required. What the course does require is curiosity, an interest in human–nonhuman animal relations, and a willingness to question some familiar ideas and look at the world from a less anthropocentric perspective.
Slides and a bibliography will be provided.
