Recent Philosophy graduate looking to share passion for Philosophy with anyone up to A Level

I know how challenging and lonely studying can be. I am an empathetic and patient teacher, and am happy to help with whatever I can. As I was recently a student myself, I know how anxiety-inducing it can be to have concurrent deadlines and exams to prepare for, so I'm more than happy to help you navigate that. I also love reading and writing, and I know that Philosophy can be difficult because it asks us to put ideas into words with clarity and precision, so if this is something you need a hand with, I'm sure I can help.

I tutor Philosophy becuase I find it rewarding to share my love for the subject. Having graduated from the University of Sussex last summer, I know how hard studying can be, but by the end of my studies, I felt enriched and inspired. Philosophy can only be enjoyable when it's taught well, and I feel confident and passionate about doing that. I'm keen to show that studying Philosophy is really about learning to think critically, and that critical thinking is a vital skill applicable to so much more of life than qualifications. As I have grown up with two younger brothers both on the autistic spectrum, furthermore, I am familiar with special needs and understand how important it is to be calm and patient with all humans.

I like to teach Philosophy by taking apparently complex ideas and breaking them down to their most fundamental parts. From there, we can get a clear picture of what arguments are going on and why, and then we can delve into the details. A really helpful tool, I find, is an analogy. I love to explain things by way of reference to something we both know (I might use the history of the Sugababes to help explain the Sorites paradox). Ultimately, philosophy can and should be fun and rewarding, even if it's not always easy.
