Philosophy Tutor for High School and College

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 4 C$ /h

I have been passionate about philosophy since I was very young, and recently I have been able to formalize my passion by completing higher education with a pedagogical orientation.

I understand that philosophy can be understood in three senses: a pragmatic sense, directly useful in daily life; a theoretical sense, rather useful for epistemological development (indirectly useful in life); a useless sense, that is, a philosophy that is useless, since its ultimate goal is itself.

I specialize in Logic and Argumentation Theory and in the history of ancient philosophy, but I span across the entire corpus of academically known philosophical theory.

I teach my classes taking into account these three approaches, which means treating the discipline from history, psychology, logic and other subjects, as well as from each person's own life experience. From the pre-Socratics to contemporary philosophy, we will see through both a broad and a specific perspective whatever theoretical content is required.

The important thing is to reflect.

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.

Learn history and philosophy through clear, structured, and personalized lessons.

I help students understand historical events, important thinkers, philosophical ideas, and the connections between politics, society, culture, and everyday life.

Lessons can include:

Ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary history
European and Italian history
History of ideas and political thought
Greek philosophy
Medieval and modern philosophy
Kant, Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, and other major philosophers
Support for school assignments, exams, and oral presentations
Reading and explanation of historical and philosophical texts

My method is based on simple explanations, timelines, maps, images, short texts, and guided discussion. The goal is not only to memorize dates and names, but to understand why events happened and how ideas developed.

Lessons are adapted to the student’s age, level, school programme, and personal interests. I can teach in Italian and provide support in English or Russian.

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.

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.

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.

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.
