Private Online Critical Thinking Tutor
Critical thinking and logic have been at the heart of philosophy since Aristotle.
As a professional philosopher,
I have taught formal logic, philosophical logic and
the theory of knowledge at the University of Oxford, and for the University of
London's External Philosophy Program.
I'm also an A-level Critical Thinking tutor (OCR), an A-level Thinking Skills tutor (CIE)
and an A-level Philosophy tutor (AQA).
And I also help students applying to study philosophy at the University of Oxford
prepare for the Thinking Skills Assessment (TSA).
My critical thinking tuition combines assignments (textual readings and exercises)
with tutorials using Skype or the phone.

A-level Critical Thinking Tutor (OCR)
Evaluating arguments is the corner-stone of A-level critical thinking, and yet it
proves to be one of the most difficult subjects for students to master.
Crucially, evaluating arguments is the bread-and-butter activity of analytical philosophy, in
which arguments are evaluated against a range of criteria:
sound/unsound, valid/invalid, demonstrative/non-demonstrative, consistent/inconsistent, etc.
I have taught the evaluation of argument at the University of Oxford, and for
the External Philosophy Program at the University of London.
The OCR A-level Critical Thinking syllabus also includes a range of concepts that are
at the heart of the theory of knowledge: belief, justification, warrant, evidence, and of course
the concept of knowledge itself. I have
taught these subjects too at Oxford and London.

A-level Thinking Skills Tutor (CIE)
Philosophical logic, as the name implies, is the philosophical study of the central concepts
of logic: truth, meaning, validity, soundness, analyticity, etc.
It also encompasses the study of the varieties of argument: deductive, inductive, abductive,
informal, etc.
My doctoral thesis, at the University of Oxford (graded 'high international standard'),
was in the philosophy of meaning.
I have
taught philosophical logic at the University of Oxford, and for the University
of London External Philosophy Program.

Logic Tuition
Formal logic is an important part of both the OCR's A-level Critical Thinking and
the CIE' A-level Thinking Skills.
I give

of London's External Philosophy Program.

Cambridge/Oxford Thinking Skills Assessment (TSA) Tutor
A Thinking Skills Assessment (TSA) is increasingly used by organisations,
including the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford,
as part of their selection procedures.
The Cambridge and Oxford TSAs typically involve 2 tests: a multiple-choice test; and a 30-minute
short essay.
I am a TSA tutor for both Cambridge and Oxford admissions;
and my tuition for the TSA is based on the recommended textbook Thinking Skills by
John Butterworth and Geoff Thwaites, Cambridge University Press.
I set you a combination of reading and Cambridge/Oxford TSA sample questions, and we then have a tutorial,
using Skype or the phone, to go over your answers and any issues that arise.
Appicants for the University of Oxford Philosophy and Psychology (PP) and
Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) degrees are required to take the Oxford TSA.
Being a
part-time philosophy tutor at the University of Oxford, I can offer advice on both the TSA and your
Oxbridge application.
