Mind, Self, and Consciousness: An Introduction to Philosophy

From 50 C$ /h

What is the nature of consciousness? Is there a self? Is the mind identical to the brain? Can life have meaning in a physical universe?

These are big questions that philosophy can help tackle. Together, we will talk about how to understand these questions more precisely, look at some answers, and learn how to approach both questions and answers using critical thinking tools.

Who is this class for? Students who've never taken philosophy, adults who are interested in exploring big ideas, and scientists and entrepreneurs who'd like to learn how to think about these questions in a more rigorous way.

Extra information

No special preparation is necessary. You can come with a specific question that you need some help thinking about, or with a broad interest in some philosophical topic. We can then set concrete objectives for making progress on your question, or have a more informal discussion about the topic that is of interest to you.

Philosophy of Religion: Thinking Deeply about Faith

50 C$ /h

Together, we'll explore core questions in philosophy of religion: Does God exist? What's the difference between religion and spirituality? Is it possible to prove that there is a supernatural realm? What does a materialist worldview imply about the existence of the mind - or the soul? Can life be meaningful without faith?
Whether you just started thinking more about these issues - or have been pondering these questions for a while - this class will help you gain clarity about your beliefs (and experiences) and help you move forward in your journey.

Stress is, in biology, the set of reactions of an organism subjected to pressures or constraints of the environment. Anxiety is a mental and physical malaise, born from the feeling of the imminence of a danger, characterized by a diffuse fear which can go as far as panic. While anxiety is a one-time emotion & often occurs as a fit, whereas anxiety can be more chronic in nature.

All three are not necessarily signs of weakness and without being a choice, they affect many people to varying intensities. Not ignoring your pain and being accompanied to find coping strategies is vital.

These workshops offer you to learn to listen, tame, manage and control your emotions, stress, anxiety and anxiety.

The objectives are clear, with always practical applications:
- Discover your own emotional process to understand the role and impact of emotions
- Analyze its operations and implement (concrete) strategies & clear techniques to channel them
- Develop your emotional awareness to strengthen your balance / harmony / self-confidence as well as the best discovery & control of your own resources / skills / potential as well as new tools
- Overcome your fears and blockages to be able to move forward and calmly
- Reduce the psychological / psycho-somatic manifestations of his emotions
- Optimize the emotional process thanks to the concept of emotional intelligence
- Make your sensitivity & possible hypersensitivity a strength

Indeed, the sensitive & hypersensitive represent a small part of the population and are able to perceive what others do not feel, which is hidden but try to conform to what is expected of them and of them. '' be able to live in community. After appropriate support, a hypersensitive can learn to tame their innate abilities

What happens during a session ?

After having defined together one or more global objectives based on your initial problem, each session takes place in two stages.

1) Browse, analyze & dissect together the reflections, thoughts and notes taken during the week and related to your emotions: actions taken based on the suggestions of the previous week; thoughts; feelings: what worked or not / corresponded or not to your expectations. It is also an opportunity to get to know you better in order to better define / define / identify and then solve together the challenges / emotional blockages of the moment.

2) Based on the conclusions of the first part, a proposal of two to three sub-issues of the day to be dealt with during the session (sub-issues built from your initial issue): to answer them, for each of them 'between them, a series of ten to fifteen pragmatic reflections / actions will be proposed to you. Three possible answers:
- "I have already tried this solution but it does not suit me" or "I do not really believe it": we go to the next suggestion
- “Never tried” or “why not”, “I'll think about it”: we set ourselves the goal of trying as soon as the opportunity arises, by the next session

Concretely, a session = a reflection but above all A SESSION = SOLUTIONS / proposals / concrete suggestions to put into practice for the following session in order to overcome its blockages.

According to the defined objective, it is a question of identifying & resolving the impact of emotions and their bad channeling not only on his communication but especially on his daily life.

Note that during the videoconference session, all the notes are transcribed in the chat so that you can access them at any time when you wish.

Graduated with a master's degree in human sciences, my love of the French language, whether in terms of reading, comprehension, oral presentation, writing and literary knowledge, is just waiting to be shared. The same goes for English, my CERCL level being C1. Besides that, it is also possible that I can help you in the humanities courses.

Each person having their own background, the first course aims to determine what are the short and long-term objectives, what are the student's abilities and difficulties and what are the sources of motivation for learning. When all of this has been discerned together, a course is mapped out to the final destination which is the achievement of the student's goals.

Behavioral analysis uses principles of behavior to solve practical everyday problems. Starting from observations, several hypotheses are put forward, without ever judging, to decode and decipher gestures, words, a way of expressing oneself (...). Based on empathy, these methods allow:
- on the one hand, to understand his interlocutor and to adapt to the situation to effectively transmit his messages and convince
- on the other hand, to improve one's own verbal and non-verbal communication with a verified methodology and very specific techniques

Therefore, it is not only a question of learning to 'decode' the other but also of improving one's skills during oral interventions in public, better managing one's personal/professional communication & the conflicts which result from it, mastering the negotiation techniques (...): your objectives in terms of communication can be diverse and the objective of these sessions is precisely to accompany you to better achieve them. So how do you get a clear message across, make a difference & make an impression?

➤ So, how to listen and be listened to, convince and be impactful, challenge and make an impression, enhance your content, address your audience effectively and optimize the quality & clarity of the exchange / message? It is precisely a question of going through, applying and deploying practical and effective techniques of oral presentation, of simple intervention or of 'one to one` exchange, aiming to challenge your audience or interlocutor, by taking care of the substance as well as the form. , all in a professional or personal context. For this, there are various techniques of verbal and non-verbal communication.

➤ Thus, mastered, the practical method allows, through a set of simulations and scenarios based on your daily experience to support pragmatic & concrete techniques, to decode the gestures and behaviors of its interlocutors but also to improve confidence in self, his confidence, his ease by overcoming his embarrassment and mastering his emotion in public. But also to work on his leadership & his charisma, in a context where empathy and emotional intelligence are at the service of communication.

➤ So, in this context, after having precisely defined your objective & gone through the blockages encountered, here are some examples of themes covered through concrete techniques & a targeted methodology:
✓Practical tools to perfect your rhetoric/repartee
✓Decode and use the practical communication tools of great leaders
✓Fundamentals (practices) of eloquence but also of public speaking (intonation, gaze, gestures, elocution, range, emotions, pronunciation, development of one's own style of charisma) to ensure consistency between substance & form
✓Fundamentals of Body Language to support and not interfere with the speech while being convinced & convincing.
✓ Highlighting their speech & promoting their speaking to arouse interest, by building on their strengths.
✓Creation of a coherence between the message emitted & the message received in order to improve its speech and in fact, its professional/personal relations.
✓Management of Q&A sessions & external reactions during an intervention or an oral exchange.
✓Practical tools to put your interlocutor at ease and appear friendly/interested.
✓To succeed in a negotiation/mediation.
✓On the one hand, learning to say 'no' simply in three steps AND on the other hand, getting people to say 'yes'.
✓To turn sentences into positive AND constructive.
✓To manage conflicts (eg 'assertive' communication techniques, eg CNV techniques - Non Violent Communication).
✓To put NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) at the service of communication.
✓To adopt effective, simple, fair and engaging language.
✓To use sentences, turns of phrase & expressions allowing to be precise, simple, effective & challenging.
✓To manage your personal & professional relationships with, for example, the preparation of your ratings.
✓Make your hypersensitivity a strength to tame your abilities.
✓Listening proactively and expressing / conveying ideas / message clearly.
✓ Avoid letting your emotions show through and propose a constructive solution to problems, while drawing on your own relational skills.
✓Be better equipped to recognize and immediately remedy situations that weaken their authority and affect their ability to communicate effectively.
✓Enhance their potential for expression and creativity (often underestimated until now) and 'apparent' sociability
✓Develop not necessarily self-confidence, but the 'appearance' of self-confidence, refine one's listening to respond adequately, open up to the resources of the imagination, free oneself from the rational to then structure one's speech.
✓Relate their communication objectives (project, institution, values, ideas, demands, etc.) to the form of their expression.
✓Learn and put into practice persuasive communication techniques and better understand the perception that others have of oneself. In order to improve his skills of 'self-presentation' and conveyed image.
✓Practical techniques to foster the engagement of the other party.
✓Strengthen the structure of its communication and develop a convincing argument in order to sell its ideas and projects.
(...)

➤ To master the keys to successful public communication, it is advisable to reinforce the impact of one's speeches: by structuring one's interventions and taking into account the circumstances and expectations of the public; by making an impression through storytelling; integrating the psychological and emotional factors of effective oral communication; integrating emotions in the preparation of the message and the arguments; anticipating objections and delicate situations; by preparing and structuring an attractive and convincing presentation framework; by experimenting with the rules of improvisation; by adequately managing difficult situations (...).

➤ In short, each session combines techniques & practical exercises adapted to your daily situations (filmed with your agreement in order to be reviewed, commented on, decoded together live), so that you can apply them immediately, and from the 1st session.

I got 4 A*s in my A levels that I took in June 2025 and I have tutored many students over the past 4 years. I motivate students and help them understand topics through activities of their preference. I tutor children of all ages. This class is intended up until age 15/16 maximum as curricula differ too much past that point. I also offer an A-level specific class.

It is true that the philosopher is the friend of wisdom, but above all, he is someone who does not want to make mistakes in reasoning. Philosophizing is a way of reasoning and a way of solving problems that will never have a perfect and definitive solution. Knowing the distance between the Earth and the Moon is not a problem of philosophy, because it is enough to measure to solve it. On the other hand, knowing, for example, what justice is, is a problem of philosophy. A meter will not be able to help us know the answer. We must go about it differently, and in the courses I offer, I will teach you how.

You will learn

- text reading strategies
- case studies with the aim of learning from experts
- methodology in philosophy
- writing an essay
- writing a text commentary
- a work on the philosophers of your choice
- an overview of the history of philosophy
- the general culture necessary to be able to philosophize

I will adapt to your individual needs. Each course is tailor-made. We will analyze where your difficulties lie and together develop a course program that will make you perform as quickly as possible. The basic principle of the courses I offer is dialectics, like Plato's dialogues: reflecting together, making theoretical contributions, asking questions and seeking answers, and testing the validity of reasoning.

For the past 10 years, I have been teaching German using the philosophy methodology, having studied philosophy at the Master's level at Aix-Marseille University. It turns out that the analytical mind is very useful even outside the confines of philosophy. Today, there are even fields of activity such as management with philosophy or philotherapy. In recent years, some German students have asked me to also teach them philosophy courses, and that is why I decided to offer philosophy courses directly.

I look forward to meeting you during a first lesson.

Philosophy isn't just about memorizing authors and dates; it's about learning to think, argue, and connect ideas. If you struggle to understand Plato or Kant, find yourself bored in class, or need to improve your grades for university entrance exams, I can help!

Welcome to a comprehensive, student-tailored approach to understanding philosophy and ethics. As a holder of a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy and a current Master's student in Applied Ethics, I help students navigate complex theoretical frameworks and apply critical thinking to real-world issues. With over five years of experience as a tutor in Poland, including time spent teaching directly in a school environment, I bring a strong pedagogical foundation to every session, ensuring abstract concepts are clear, structured, and practical.
In our lessons, we will cover a wide range of topics customized to your specific goals. We can dive into core philosophy and epistemology by exploring fundamental texts and primary sources, or break down ethical theories such as utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics to see how they apply to modern life. We can also explore contemporary socio-political debates, bioethics, technology, and AI ethics, which happens to be a personal passion of mine, without losing sight of the broader philosophical discipline.
Beyond studying theoretical content, I place a strong emphasis on practical academic skills and critical thinking. Drawing from my background as a school teacher and private tutor, I focus on helping you evaluate complex viewpoints objectively, spot logical fallacies, structure philosophical papers, and refine your overall argumentation. Lessons are fully adaptable to your learning style and academic level, whether you are an absolute beginner looking for a clear introduction or an advanced student seeking in-depth feedback on your work.
