About Me
I am a humble seeker of the truth and I love to be able to help others in the same search. I believe it does not have to be a cohercion to learn, but only following the path your own nature suggests. If you do not feel the wish to learn within you, what may even the perfect teacher do? And if you instead wish so, how can a poor teacher convince you to let it go? Therefore I, who am neither perfect nor the worst, only think my purpose is to let you realize what you want for yourself.Education

Greek language or Ancient Greek/ history and mythology
Greek has significantly influenced many modern languages, particularly English. A vast number of English words have Greek roots, especially in fields such as medicine, science, philosophy, and the arts. Learning Greek can help you understand the etymology of many English words and terms, enhancing your vocabulary and comprehension. For example, words like "psychology," "democracy," and "philosophy" all have Greek origins.
By learning Greek, you gain the ability to read and understand both classical and modern Greek literature.

Philosophy and Film – Appreciation and Essay Tutoring is an interdisciplinary course designed for learners who are curious about the deeper meanings behind cinema. Through selected films—ranging from classics to experimental works—we will explore philosophical themes such as identity, freedom, morality, memory, and the absurd. Each session blends film appreciation with critical thinking, guiding students to see how cinema can express, challenge, and reshape philosophical questions in ways that are emotionally and intellectually powerful.
In addition to discussion-based learning, the course provides one-on-one or small group essay tutoring to support students in articulating their thoughts through writing. Whether you aim to develop academic essays, creative reflections, or structured reviews, this course helps you build the analytical and rhetorical skills needed to engage with film as a form of philosophical expression. Ideal for high school students, university applicants, or anyone interested in deepening their understanding of both philosophy and film.

Political Belief Systems: An Introduction to Ideology
Everyone who engages with politics (which is to say, everyone) has an ideology. But not everyone is conscious of- let alone consistent in their ideology. In fact, most people’s conscious politics are nothing more than an inconsistent aesthetic. But anyone who has a world they long to see owes it to themselves to at least be self aware of their own ideology, and they should probably also familiarize themselves with others as well. I can help on both fronts.
This 10-session class serves as an introduction to the concept of political ideology. We will begin with a brief overview to various major academic theories of ideology, before moving on to a taxonomical survey of different ideological genuses and families, both “thick-centered” ideologies, that is, ideologies with a comprehensive core specific enough that they can stand on their own as it were, such as liberalism, conservatism, socialism, and fascism, and “thin centered” ideologies, which have much broader and hence much less specific cores, and hence must attach themselves to other thick centered host ideologies in order to fully manifest themselves, such as populism, nationalism, feminism, and ecologism.
