Courses in Philosophy, Ethics and Critical Thinking
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Philosophy is much more than a simple method; it's a more general way of positioning ourselves, even a way of life. At its core, it's critical thinking and the ability to see beyond what's left unsaid and unclear, and to find information, question, and arrive at a more nuanced vision of the world.Together we will begin with everyday facts to explore the foundations of philosophy, look for clues in the history of thought and learn to be independent in our critical thinking.
I also support the questioning of major texts and problems posed in literature courses, philosophy courses in middle school, and preparation for the Swiss maturity, see prep for university studies.
NB: Particular interest in feminism to better understand current societal issues is welcome. I reserve the right to refuse any indecent or misogynistic contact.

About Me
Bettina est philosophe indépendante et autrice, spécialisée dans l’exploration des dynamiques contemporaines de la pensée et de leur ancrage historique, ainsi que l'éthique appliqué. Forte de plus de vingt ans d’expérience en recherche académique, en édition et en écriture, elle interroge les mutations du savoir, les formes de rationalité et l’évolution des cadres symboliques qui structurent notre rapport au monde. Son travail s’inscrit dans une approche critique et transdisciplinaire, intégrant notamment la philosophie continentale, la pensée jungienne et l’histoire des idées. À travers ses écrits, elle examine des thématiques telles que l’externalisation du discours et du sens, la dissolution des espaces de réflexion intérieure et la manière dont ces phénomènes façonnent nos sociétés et subjectivités.Education

I offer to give French help lessons for all levels, occasionally or regularly, possibly accompanied by a "French fika" because I love pastries (shortbread, lemon cake, apple pie...) :)

Premium History Lessons – Master the Past, Understand the Present - full methodology providedAll classes are given online. You will be provided with full methodology and an individual program will be generated for you to make sure you reach your goals.
Philosophy is the foundation of all knowledge, the pursuit of truth through reason, and the key to understanding the world, human nature, and society. To study philosophy is to develop the ability to think critically, argue rigorously, and grasp the underlying principles that shape reality.
Raised in a family devoted to intellectual discipline and excellence, I was immersed from an early age in classical philosophy, logic, ethics, metaphysics, and political thought. My approach is both historical and analytical, ensuring that students not only learn philosophical concepts but also develop the ability to question, debate, and apply philosophical reasoning to modern issues.
A Rigorous Methodology for Mastering Philosophy:
Understanding philosophy requires more than reading — it demands a structured approach to reasoning and analysis. I provide my students with a rigorous methodology that enables them to:
-Analyze texts with precision, identifying key arguments and logical structures.
-Construct well-formed philosophical arguments, mastering the art of reasoning and rhetoric.
-Engage in dialectical thinking, refining their thoughts through structured discussion.
-Write and express ideas with clarity and coherence, essential for academic and intellectual pursuits.
A Dual Approach: The Great Thinkers & The Great Questions:
History of Philosophy – The Evolution of Thought
-Ancient Philosophy – Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Stoicism, Epicureanism.
-Medieval & Scholastic Philosophy – St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, Duns Scotus, Suarez.
-Modern Philosophy – Descartes, Kant, Rousseau, Hegel, Nietzsche.
-Contemporary Philosophy – Existentialism, phenomenology, political philosophy, ethics, metaphysics.
Philosophical Themes – Mastering the Core Questions:
-Metaphysics & Ontology – What is reality? What is existence?
-Epistemology – How do we know what we know? What is truth?
-Ethics & Moral Philosophy – What is good? What is justice? How should we live?
-Political Philosophy – What is the best form of government? What is freedom?
-Logic & Argumentation – Learning how to construct, deconstruct, and refine arguments.
-Scholasticism – Mastering the structured reasoning of medieval philosophy, essential for theology and metaphysics.
- Languages and societal questions.
A Course Designed for Your Needs
Whether you seek to explore philosophy for personal enrichment or academic excellence, this program is tailored to your level and goals:
-Academic support (school, high school, university)
Essay & debate preparation
-Personal enrichment (deepening your understanding of the great ideas)
-Diplomatic, political, or legal insight (for those in governance, law, or international relations)
Philosophy is not just an intellectual exercise—it is a way of seeing the world, questioning assumptions, and refining thought. With my structured methodology, you will gain the ability to navigate complex ideas with precision and confidence.
Join me, and develop a mind that is sharp, informed, and ready to engage with the deepest questions of life, to find the truth and, most important, to understand why it is true and how to act upon it.

History, geography, political science, geopolitics and English courses (preparation for the bac hggsp amc for example)History and geography courses are essential to understand the world around us and also represent a strong coefficient in studies (before the baccalaureate). These subjects are also a key source of general culture, it is important to nourish them.
Moreover, English, especially in our time, allows us to travel but also to be able to express ourselves with as many people as possible.
This language is also highly valued in the world of work and opens many doors to those who speak it correctly.
Thanks to my interest in these subjects in high school, but also the depth that I maintain for these subjects even today in higher education, I am in a position to give lessons to students (up to the baccalaureate)
I got 18/20 in hggsp (history, geography, political science and geopolitics) in my baccalaureate, and 17/20 in amc (English) as well as 20/20 in my English oral exam in my baccalaureate.

CONTEMPORARY VISUAL ART: UNDERSTANDING AND PRACTICEKEY OBJECTIVES:
• To introduce the right toolkit to take on contemporary art of any kind, no matter how difficult, minimal and conceptually driven it may be.
• To learn to spot and call out artwork that is being difficult or challenging because it’s a load of rubbish.
• To make you feel more confident when making and looking at contemporary art!
How can we be so categorical about something as subjective as deciding if art is ‘good’ or ‘bad’? Think of it like this: If you’re not any good at carpentry, you can still identify a poorly made coffee table. Basically, what we’re going to try to do is understand how to recognise if an artwork has been responsibly made or not. In the case contemporary art that has been made responsibly, this class will suggest that your kid could not have made it, any more than they could have removed your appendix, designed a suspension bridge or landed a crashing helicopter. In the case of art that has not been made responsibly, then yes, perhaps your kid could have made it.
