About the tutor

A scholarly approach, taught plainly.

I’m a philosopher and a logician with over two decades of university lecturing experience. My private students range from sixth-formers preparing for university interviews to PhD candidates working through their thesis arguments — and a good many curious adults reading philosophy for the pleasure of it.

Tuition is one-to-one and built around the questions you actually want to answer. Sessions move at your pace: we read closely, argue carefully, and write clearly. The aim is always the same — to leave you thinking more rigorously than you did an hour earlier.

Alongside tutoring I run the Attic Philosophy YouTube channel, where I cover topics from formal logic to free will for a general audience — it’s a fair sample of the way I teach.

Areas of tuition

What I tutor.

Two core offerings, taught in depth — with supplementary support where it’s useful.

01

Philosophy

Philosophy of mind and consciousness, metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of science, philosophy of language, and theories of truth and meaning — or reading from the canon: Descartes, Locke, Wittgenstein, Frege and Russell. Whether you’re reading for a degree, writing a dissertation, or following an adult-education course, sessions are shaped around your texts and arguments.

Mind & consciousness Metaphysics Epistemology Philosophy of science Philosophy of language Truth & meaning
02

Logic & Formal Methods

Propositional and predicate logic, modal logic, set theory, proof techniques, and the formal tools philosophers actually use. For students who want the symbolic side taught properly — from first principles to research-level material.

Propositional Predicate Modal Set theory Proof Higher-order Non-classical
Also available Supplementary tuition
Academic Writing Skills Building clear, well-structured philosophical arguments on the page — from essay planning to revising drafts of long-form work.
CV & Application Materials Personal statements, research proposals, and academic CVs for postgraduate applications and funding competitions.
