Hi! My name is Fred and I'm a tutor for Philosophy. I have recently graduated from the University of Cambridge with a BA in Philosophy.
I offer sessions to aid with university applications, whether that be with personal statements or interview practice. I have a lot of experience in tutoring Philosophy applicants for Cambridge interviews, focusing on helping people deal well with tricky questions aimed at making you think in a different way. I think Philosophy is an amazing subject, and really enjoy helping people discover the areas they are interested in. One aspect that can make philosophy daunting is the variety of topics covered. However, it is also a huge positive, as it allows for specialising in subjects of interest. I think that it is valuable for prospective students to have an idea of topics that they particularly enjoy. I am happy to facilitate getting to grips with topics of interest by providing accessible reading and then discussing these in our meetings.
I also tutor A-level philosophy where I work with the student to improve how they approach and structure their answers. I also offer lessons where we explore particular elements of the course in detail, looking to get a strong grip on the themes and arguments at play.
