Philosophy and Theology at Pre-U and A level (taught in English)

From 49.96 C$ /h

This class is aimed at students who are studying Philosophy and Theology at Pre-u (Cambridge) or A level, however, if prospective students would like to learn this subject at a more simplified level I am able to do that also. While this class is aimed at preparing the student for their final examinations, my aim is to also imbue love and interest in some of the most interesting questions asked by mankind such as; what is the nature of reality? Is morality subjective or objective? and do we really have free will? During this online class, students will also develop their argumentative/essay writing skills while also enhancing their general ability to think critically. If you are already well accustomed to this course, I can help you develop your understanding of the topic further, offering services such as how to plan a good essay as well as suggestions for further reading.

Extra information

We will be working from set texts for which there will be online pdf versions available.
Considering the current pandemic, these classes will be conducted online using either "zoom" or "go to meeting" until restrictions are lifted.

About Me

My favourite part of teaching is when I'm able to have an open and intellectual discussion with my students. I see discussion as the ultimate way of developing one's understanding of any humanities subject, especially Philosophy, as this gives the student the opportunity to express their own opinion. In doing so and defending it, this allows them to gain a wider understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of their argument and to also consider other perspectives which they may not have considered before. This is all in the spirit of coming closer to a better understanding of the truth which for me is the fundamental purpose of philosophy.

Learn more about God as you go through your day. Learn about who he is, Who he created you to be and how you can work each day to better understand the bible and live in the way God called and created us to live.

Daily Devotions, Q&A and confidence building (because you cannot love others the way you are called to, if you cannot first love yourself) and more.

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.

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.

Are you struggling with philosophy, or do you want to learn the subject or deepen your knowledge? I adapt to each student's needs to help them progress and succeed in philosophy. To achieve this, I help students acquire the necessary methods, understand unclear course content, and train them in text commentary and essay writing exercises. The goal is to cultivate an interest in philosophy while equipping them with the keys to exam success.
The first step is to meet the student and determine together the difficulties and expectations of the lessons.
Master's degree and teaching qualification in philosophy. 5 years of teaching experience and currently preparing a thesis in environmental philosophy. Bilingual French-English.

Percorsi sono individuali e personalizzati, basati su un metodo che unisce astrologia, antroposofia, alchimia, biochimica, sciamanesimo e costellazioni familiari/esoteriche.
I Servizi (Cosa faremo insieme)
Propongo percorsi di mentoring e sessioni di decodifica focalizzati su:
• Logic Reset: Identificare e disinnescare i programmi mentali che bloccano la tua evoluzione.
• Allineamento Biologico: Imparare ad ascoltare e direzionare l’energia del corpo come bussola di verità.
• Navigazione Archetipale: Utilizzare i 12 Codici per mappare la tua realtà e prendere decisioni con chiarezza assoluta.

Sono Leo e il mio lavoro è accompagnare chi si sente fuori posto in un mondo di risposte pre-confezionate. Attraverso il sistema RCS (Ricordati Chi Sei), aiuto individui determinati a compiere un atto di consapevolezza e autonomia: smantellare le gabbie cognitive e riconnettersi alla propria fonte creativa e vitale (l’Anima). Ho scelto di operare al di fuori dei circuiti social per garantire la massima profondità e integrità in ogni percorso che guido. Lavoro con chi è stanco della teoria e cerca sostanza. Le mie sessioni sono spazi di verità, senza compromessi. Metto a disposizione la mia esperienza e i miei strumenti per aiutarti a vedere ciò che la Matrix nasconde, affinché tu possa tornare a essere l'unico autore della tua vita.

Italian is a rich and expressive language, and my lessons are designed to help students gain confidence and clarity in both speaking and writing. I offer personalised Italian lessons adapting each class to the student’s level and goals.

With academic training at the University of Oxford, I combine a clear and structured approach with practical exercises in grammar, vocabulary, conversation, and writing. Lessons can focus on everyday Italian, exam preparation, or the analysis of literary texts and essays.

Each lesson is engaging, goal-oriented, and tailored to the individual student.

My methodology: Learning to structure one's thoughts to express oneself better
My approach is based on a simple observation: success is not achieved through lack of effort, but often through a lack of method and confidence. My role is to transform subjects sometimes perceived as abstract (Philosophy, French) or intimidating (English) into concrete tools for success.

The typical course of a session:
1. Quick diagnosis: We start by identifying the areas of uncertainty from the previous lesson or the difficulties with a specific exercise.
2. Taking action: No boring lectures! We work on concrete exercises, essay plans or oral practice (in English) to "learn by doing".
3. The "Montreal Method": Having worked for two and a half years in Quebec, I use a North American pedagogy that is very focused on encouragement, clear structure and student autonomy.
4. Summary & Objectives: We end each session with a recap of the key points so that the student knows exactly what to revise.

What makes the difference: As a philosophy student, I don't just teach authors; I teach the methodology that allows students to think for themselves about major philosophical concepts. In English, my dual nationality allows me to naturally correct speech patterns and accents. In French, I've had the privilege of preparing dozens of students for their Baccalaureate exams, using a targeted approach. My experience has taught me that there are no wrong answers, only ideas that need to be better formulated.
