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.

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.

Together we will prepare a lesson to discover or reinforce previously acquired knowledge.
The idea is to learn effectively through privileged dialogue, a space where all questions are welcome.
We will focus on a particular school of thought or philosopher in order to be prepared by the end of the year!

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.

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.

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.

Want to learn Serbian in a relaxed and practical way?

I am a native Serbian speaker and an English teacher with an MA in English Language and Literature. In these lessons, we'll focus on helping you actually use Serbian in real conversations rather than simply memorizing isolated words and grammar rules.

Depending on your level and goals, we can work on:

• Everyday Serbian and useful expressions
• Conversation and speaking confidence
• Vocabulary and pronunciation
• Serbian grammar explained clearly and practically
• Serbian culture, customs, music, films, and everyday life
• Serbian for travel, relationships, family, or personal interest

The lessons can be adapted to complete beginners as well as learners who already know some Serbian and want more opportunities to practise.

If you're interested in Serbian language and culture, want to communicate with Serbian-speaking friends or family, are planning to visit Serbia, or simply want to learn a new language, we'll build the lessons around your goals and interests.

My approach is relaxed, friendly, and judgment-free. You don't need to be afraid of making mistakes — speaking and experimenting with the language is how you improve.

Let's make Serbian something you can actually use, not just something you study.

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.
