Anna Mcdermott

I am a passionate Philosophy Masters student at Queen’s University Belfast with a keen interest in philosophy of mind, apophatic theology, consciousness and philosophy of addiction. I have obtained a Bachelors (Honours) Degree in Philosophy from Queens University Belfast. I have experience facilitating philosophy to primary school students as part of the Philosophy for Children (P4C) Scheme at Queen's University Belfast, I have organised philosophical education days to secondary school students, and I am coordinating multiple Philosophy Reading Groups for Undergraduate and Postgraduate Students. I am currently part of the British Postgraduate Philosophy Association Executive Committee as this years Events Coordinator. In 2024 I received a Philosophical Dissertation Prize for my undergraduate research “Kindred Spirits: A Comparative Analysis of the Similarities between Anton Wilhelm Amo and Plotinus Through the Sensitive Soul and Principle of Life in the Spirit-Soul-Body Relationship”.

I aim to provide tailored lessons suited to your educational needs! My motivation is for students to expand their philosophical education while learning how to study effectively. All lessons will personalised to each student to ensure the reaching of your full potential. My lessons will take place online and I will be able to provide after session resources to continue your studies. I have specialisation in Philosophy of Mind, Apophatic Theology, Consciousness and History of Philosophy. However, I have competency in Philosophy of Science, Epistemology, Environmental Philosophy, Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence, Moral Theories and Animal Ethics. Due to my field of study and experience I will be able to provide tutoring to primary and secondary school students and can advise undergraduate students on their studies.
