"Hi! My name is Oli. I’m a passionate tutor with nearly 10 years of experience teaching high school, undergraduate, and graduate students. I studied at the University of Warwick (undergraduate) and the University of Oxford (graduate) and have helped students gain admission to top programs worldwide. I scored 179 on the LSAT, and regularly teach logic, reading, writing, philosophy, and the LSAT itself.

Philosophy isn’t just about studying famous thinkers—it’s about developing critical thinking skills that apply to all areas of life. My approach focuses on fostering clear reasoning and deep engagement with philosophical texts. I can assist with a broad range of topics:

In Ancient Philosophy, we explore Plato, Aristotle, and Pre-Socratics like Heraclitus and Parmenides. For Classical Christian Philosophy, I cover Aquinas and Augustine. In Early Modern Philosophy, we examine Hobbes, Descartes, Spinoza, and Hume. In Kantian and Post-Kantian Philosophy, we delve into Kant’s ideas and Hegel’s contributions. For Modern and Contemporary Philosophy, I guide students through Rousseau, Nietzsche, Marx, and Sartre. In Moral Philosophy, we discuss ethical theories with insights from Elizabeth Anderson and Philippa Foot. Political Philosophy includes justice and governance, inspired by Rousseau, Marx, and others. Metaethics explores foundational questions about morality and ethical language.

My teaching also includes Feminist Philosophy and Philosophy of Gender, with ideas from de Beauvoir, Fricker, Frye, Haslanger, Butler, Srinivasan, and Asta. In Formal Logic and Philosophy of Logic, we study formal logic and its implications. In Philosophy of Language, we cover Wittgenstein, Grice, Chomsky, and Austin. This list is not exhaustive. Please reach out to discuss how I can support your interests." less...
