About Louis

I'm Louis, an experienced private tutor specialising in Philosophy at Degree Level. I help students who are struggling to achieve top marks by addressing common challenges in essay writing and philosophical understanding.

I have received offers from Oxford and Cambridge for philosophy masters courses, and I am currently doing an MPhil specialising in the philosophy of religion at Oxford.

During my own Philosophy degree at King’s College London, I struggled to score above 70% despite working hard. Over time, I learned to work smarter by understanding exactly what markers expect and refining my essay-writing approach. This effort led to a 1st class degree with a 74% average in my final year, including top marks in Metaphysics and Medieval Philosophy.

I now use these insights to help my students succeed, saving them time and frustration by teaching the techniques that helped me excel. Whether you need to refine your essay-writing skills, gain a deeper understanding of philosophical concepts and thinkers, or get your target grade in Degree or A Level Philosophy, I’m here to guide you.

I have expertise in the following subjects:
- Philosophy of Religion
- History of Philosophy, including: Ancient Philosophy, Medieval Philosophy, Modern Philosophy.
- Continental Philosophy
- Analytic Philosophy
- Political Philosophy
- Ethics
- Metaphysics
- Epistemology

About the lesson

I offer a free, no strings attached consultation call prior to lessons starting. So if you're interested, feel free to reach out!

Services for Degree-Level Students:

- Essay Consultation & Feedback: Personalised guidance to improve writing skills and refine arguments, with detailed explanations on where and how to improve.
- Concept Clarification: Simplify complex philosophical ideas with clear explanations and summaries.
- Research Support: Assistance in finding and summarising key primary and secondary sources.

Services for A Level Students:

- Comprehensive content explanations
- Advice on essay structure to enhance exam performance.
- Detailed feedback on homework assignments.
- Joint answer-writing sessions to deepen understanding.
- Insight into what examiners look for in top-scoring responses.

I also teach philosophy to those who aren't formally studying philosophy, but would like to get to know more about it. If you are interested in any of the following:

- Becoming better acquainted with the great philosophers of history
- Developing your own philosophy
- Reflecting on the most fundamental questions

Then I would be delighted to help you!

Perfect! Louis helped my son with his year 12 Philosophy as he was struggling to understand the concepts and starting to regret his A Level choice! Louis has patiently helped my son to work through all the ideas and developed his knowledge so that he is now really confident, has excellent understanding of the content and is even really enjoying the course! Louis is a great teacher and I would thoroughly recommend him.

Perfect! Fantastic lesson, help me understanding a topic that would have took me hours to grasp within an hour, and very quick to respond too!

Louis's response
Serenity is a careful listener who clearly expressed her points of confusion with respect to the theory that she was having troubles with understanding. This made it a much easier process to help her to come to understand Aristotle's problem and solution to logical fatalism.

Perfect! Louis has been extremely helpful with his comments, feedback and advice for writing my first philosophy essays (University level). He is straightforward, concise and always sees when my argument or structure is unclear. I would recommend him to anyone struggling with methodology, understanding concepts and lacking clarity of thought when manipulating these concepts.

I taught and advised Louis in all three years of his Philosophy BA. Louis' approach to studying philosophy was thoughtful, independent and thorough. I'm sure his teaching will be similar. He communicates well about complex conceptual questions. He achieved a first-class degree by combining his knowledge, understanding and passion for philosophy with careful attention to the specific demands of his assignments. That's a great combination to be able to pass on.
