Private Online Philosophy Tuition
I have devised an effective method of internet-based
online philosophy tuition for my private students,
based on the Oxford Tutorial System.
The tuition system is easily adapted to suit school, college
and university philosophy students.
It combines the expertise from my
career in e-learning, with my
philosophy teaching experience,
and my training as a face-to-face and
online tutor.
There are more details of my online tuition system below.

Free Discussion Of Your Online Philosophy Tuition Needs
Before embarking on a course of online philosophy tuition I typically have a preliminary chat
with students; at no charge.
The allows us to discuss your needs and motivations, and, if necessary, for me to devise your personalised
study plan.
The study plan forms the backbone of the tutorials comprising your online study, and
in most cases consists of essays and mock exam questions.
If you would like you discuss your online philosophy tuition requirements, then

Oxford Tutorial System Applied To Online Philosophy Tuition
The best advice that I ever received from my philosophy
tutors was "write often!". For it's
only when you commit your ideas to paper that you begin to
see more clearly where the difficulties lie.
My method of
online philosophy tuition follows this advice, and is based
on the tutorial system widely used at the University of Oxford; where I took
my doctorate, and where
I now also teach.
I select essay titles, based on past exam papers where appropriate; then
for each essay:
|
1
|
I send you the essay title with readings, if appropriate.
|
|
2
|
You write the essay and email it to me.
|
|
3
|
I read the essay, annotate it with colour-coded comments, and
return it to you.
|
|
4
|
You read my comments and reflect upon them.
|
5
|
We have a 45 minute online tutorial discussing the
essay and any further points that have arisen from your reflection.
|
We essays and tutorials as often and as
frequently as you require.
My comments concern not only philosophical content, but grammar, logic and
argument structure. For exam candidates, I focus particularly on
developing an appropriate style for exam answers.

Online Philosophy Tuition Using Skype
The majority of my online philosophy tuition is conducted via Skype, which is
a free internet service for international phone and video calls; though occasional I give
tuition by phone or
email.
The tutorials are scheduled to last 45 minutes, but they typically continue for longer; of
course at no extra charge.
During each tutorial, we discuss various points arising from the marked essay; and over a period
of online philosophy tuition topics are selected to build up a systematic understanding.
If you'd like personal online philosophy tuition using Skype, by all means email me:

Online Philosophy Tuition Available In All Time Zones
My students arrange their online philosophy tuition by first consulting my
online diary.
Once they have emailed me their work, they consult the diary to find a suitable date and time.
I'm available on a variety of weekdays, weekend days, daytime and evenings, so that students
from around the world can find a convenient time for their online philosophy tuition.
We have tutorials as and when you need them; and they can be arranged either on a regular, scheduled
basis or ad hoc.

please email me:

Online Philosophy Tuition By Email
Although the majority of my online philosophy tuition is conducted by
Skype or phone, occasionally students ask for tuition by email.
These e-tutorials can be particularly helpful for students for whom English is not their first language.
Once you have received your essay with my comments you email me with any queries that you
may have, or with points for clarification; and I give detailed replies, with readings if appropriate.
The email correspondence comprises a useful permanent record of your study.
