I think these subjects are a unique challenge to teach because students only develop the necessary skill if they are able critically think through the problems at hand. I thus do my best to guide my students thinking processes, rather than tell them the answers. I spend most of my free time playing and listening to music. I love most genres, but am particularly keen on the blues.

Raleigh-Durham Philosophy Tutoring FAQ
Philosophy class can be one of the most difficult subjects that you take during your college career. These courses confront you with some of the greatest thinkers from various intellectual heritages, both historic and modern, and their extremely difficult writings. Whether you are taking an introductory course or are deep into the surreal, intellectual mists of German idealism, the reading and writing that you do for a philosophy class is intense, and assignments can often seem overwhelming. Let Varsity Tutors help you find a personal guide through your philosophical woes. We offer philosophy tutoring all across the country, and our tutors can help you to succeed in class as well as gain a cultured love for these important thinkers and the topics they discuss.
A personal tutor is a great asset in a course like philosophy. Our tutors are able to help you grasp the basics of philosophy in an introductory course by making its topics accessible, and can shine even more brightly when you are lost in the complex nexus of readings required for advanced or nuanced philosophy classes. From ethics and aesthetics to medieval philosophy and the history of the philosophy of science, professors in the field notoriously teach their courses in unique manners. This makes it very difficult to find the help that you need, for it may seem as if your professor is the only one who can provide such help, given his or her idiosyncratic syllabus.
