Navigating the transition to A-Level Philosophy can be a real shock for many students as they move from learning facts to debating abstract theories. If your child is currently feeling buried under complex logic or finding it impossible to meet the rigid essay structures required, it’s a lot to ask of any parent to provide the right academic steer.
By bringing in a specialist A-Level Philosophy tutor, you can delegate those difficult debates to a professional. This lets you step back and be the supportive parent while a dedicated mentor helps your teenager untangle intricate arguments and develop the razor-sharp reasoning needed for high-grade essays.

Ian B
Inspirational Philosophy Tutor
I have taught in schools, colleges and as a private tutor for twenty five years. Whether one-to-one or in a class situation I have developed a teaching style that centres on the individual. Essential to my success over the years has been my ability to listen to a student, analyse their needs, then put in place a scheme of work that will accomplish set targets. I teach Social Science (Psychology and Sociology) Philosophy and English. My focus in a lesson plan can include work on elucidation of theories, ideas or methods, but also I cover work on writing skills and essay planning as often it is not...

Hello! Here is a bit about me:I am a former teacher and private tutor of over 12 years. My specialist subjects are Philosophy and Religious Studies, specifically the OCR and AQA exam boards. I know these exam boards completely inside and out, I know all of their content, their style of questioning and exactly what it is examiners are looking for.

Shannon is a phenomenal tutor, as well as a great advisor in learning. Working with her gave me a true passion for philosophy, as well as transforming my academic grades. I am lucky to have chosen Shannon as my OCR philosophy tutor; she went above and beyond to ensure that I felt supported and confident before exams, as well as providing me with an overall mentor whenever I needed one. A lovely person to be tutored by.

Russell S
Russell helped completely change my philosophy grade in a matter of weeks! His knowledge of the course and how to write a good essay -which is what separates a c/b from an A/A* no matter how good your knowledge is - was so helpful, I went into my final exam feeling more confident than I ever had before, and left more confident than I could have imaged all due to his advice. Would recommend to anyone struggling or looking to get top top grades. Was an absolute professional and a lovely man! 10/10
