Philosophy, Human Geography, English as a Foreign Language

I am a MSc student of Environmental Governance (in the department of Human Geography) at the University of Oxford, currently studying (remotely) for exams and based in Amsterdam-West. I graduated with a 1st degree Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy in 2015 and have tutored English Literature, Language, History and Philosophy & Ethics. I also have a qualification to teach English as a foreign language (TEFL), and spent a year teaching English to refugees of war in Greece.

My teaching methodology is very much student dependent. I have previously taught A Level (16-18 years) and GCSE (15-16 years) students, and also one younger student with learning difficulties. My lessons have previously been based on the exam guidelines and specific school syllabi, but have also often taken different directions dependent on student needs. Often this involves recapping more basic topics and concepts, before building upon these new foundations.

The students will receive homework -- often this will be to finish work done in class, or a separate assignment based on that lesson which will allow be to assess how you respond to the class content without my supervision.

Extra information

I will discuss any extra information directly with each student depending on their needs.

About Me

I am a 25 year-old, MSc student of Environmental Governance (in the department of Human Geography) at the University of Oxford, currently studying (remotely) for exams and based in Amsterdam-West. I graduated with a 1st degree Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy in 2015.

I am extremely enthusiastic to learn and to teach others -- to such an extent that I previously taught myself a new syllabus in English Language A Level (which I had never personally studied at school) in order to teach a student who really wanted a young, female tutor with whom she could get along really well. She was predicted an E grade (a fail), and ultimately she achieved an A and was accepted to university.

Education

(Current) University of Oxford, MSc in Environmental Governance
(Achieved, 1st Class) University of Exeter, BA in Philosophy
(Achieved) St Mary's School, Wiltshire, UK. A Levels in English Literature (A*), History (A*) and Philosophy & Ethics (A).

Experience / Qualifications

Experience tutoring English Literature, English Language, History and Philosophy & Ethics to students between 12 and 18 years of age.

Qualified to teach English as a foreign language (TEFL), and spent a year teaching English to refugees of war in Greece.

My previous students all graduated from high school and managed to be accepted to the universities to which they applied. I also have experience with supporting the writing of my students' university applications, which were all successful.

Dominic
Philosophy tutoring for high school and university students
Philosophy can often seem like a frustrating and alien academic field, with arbitrary questions and endless arguments. However with a experienced philosopher as a guide (such as myself) the discipline can be revealed as an exciting exploration of ourselves and the world around us. Depending on what interests you, or what your course requires you to study, we will read texts together, analyse concepts and arguments and actually practice philosophy by having discussions and refining arguments. Philosophy is a magic sword when it comes to navigating the modern world. As we are bombarded with information, a engaged philosophy education gives you the critical thinking and logical analysis skills dismiss the rhetoric and nonsense and find the truth and falsity in a statement, making you a better citizen and friend. My specialism is the philosophy of physics, including the philosophy of quantum mechanics, philosophy of science and philosophy of time. My other interests include metaphysics and the political philosophy.

English as a language is not only widely spoken but also, has made itself a prerequisite to the international world. Even if it is academic or just a beginner learning it for the first time, I will be helping you learn and master the English language just as I did until I achieved my dream of attending a university in English.
