Personal Description:

I am an experienced and passionate Philosophy Teacher (University of Edinburgh & private teaching).

My aim is to help my students reach their full academic potential by making the discussion of Philosophical concepts understandable and fascinating.

Tutoring Experience:

I hold a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Edinburgh.

I have a 9-year experience as a university lecturer (and essay-exam marker), one-to-one tutor for IB, (Advanced) Higher, A-levels, and University level students.

From 2008 I have taught (in the University of Edinburgh and privately) a wide range of philosophical topics aimed for undergraduates and postgraduates.

Areas of specialization: Ethics, Epistemology, Philosophy of Religion, Ancient Philosophy (Plato, Aristotle), Mind, Metaphysics, Modern Philosophy, Descartes, Hume, Kant.

For my teaching work I have been nominated by Edinburgh University Student Association (EUSA) as "Tutor and Lecturer of the Year".

Tutoring Approach:

From planning an essay or dissertation to preparing a student for finals or university exams I invite my students to a fascinating and in-depth exploration of the philosophical arguments at stake.

My teaching style is a mixture of leading the discussion by explaining difficult concepts and interactive learning through simple Q&A.

From Irene (5/5): (University Philosophy / Critical Thinking) Thomas is very helpful and patient in order to make you understand the concept of a specific topic. Through an interaction between explaining and asking questions you will be engaged with the topic fully. I would definitely recommend Thomas as your Philosophy tutor. :)

From Dion (5/5): (University Philosophy / Critical Thinking) Thomas was an excellent tutor and more than I could of hoped for. Not only was he able to help me grasp often complicated concepts from my classes he also helped me to better express and present my arguments. He went above and beyond what I expected from a tutor even arranging for skype sessions when I was abroad. I would reccomend Thomas to anyone looking to further their knowledge in the fields of philosophy and critical thinking.
