Morgan Z
Enthusiastic Philosophy tutor
Hi! My name is Morgan, and I'm currently an undergraduate student of philosophy.My lessons are greatly focused on flexibility and individual needs. I emphasise a solid grasp of the fundamentals, without which learning can be a stressful and confusing experience, in order to make learning a process which can be enjoyable and engaging. Nonetheless, I make sure to cover in great detail whatever the individual is particularly interested, which helps to maintain this engagement which I believe is crucial for learning. There will always also be time to focus on whatever the individual is struggling with....

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

How can a Scottish Highers Philosophy tutor help my child with the abstract concepts?

Tutors specialise in breaking down complex philosophical ideas into understandable parts. They use relatable examples and guided discussions to help students grasp topics like 'Knowledge and Doubt' or 'Moral Philosophy', making abstract thinking feel much more accessible. They'll work with your child to build their analytical skills step by step.

What if my child falls behind due to the fast pace of the Higher course?

One-to-one tutoring is perfect for catching up and staying ahead. Your child's tutor can revisit specific areas they find challenging, like understanding arguments for the existence of God, ensuring they have a solid foundation before moving on. This prevents a 'domino effect' and gives students dedicated time to reflect and consolidate learning.

How does tutoring prepare for the SQA Philosophy exam, especially without 'right answers'?

Your Scottish Highers Philosophy tutor will help your child understand the SQA marking criteria for analytical and argumentative essays. They'll teach them how to construct strong, well-supported arguments, identify logical fallacies, and critique philosophical texts effectively. This builds confidence in expressing one's own reasoned views, which is key to success, rather than just memorising facts.

Will a Higher Philosophy qualification be valued for competitive university courses?

Absolutely. Scottish Highers Philosophy is highly respected by admissions tutors for courses like Law, Politics, English, and even some sciences at top Scottish universities. It demonstrates advanced critical thinking, logical reasoning, and sophisticated communication skills – abilities that are crucial for success across many academic disciplines and future careers.

Can a tutor help my child with reading dense philosophical texts?

Yes, definitely. A Scottish Highers Philosophy tutor can guide your child through complex texts by breaking down difficult vocabulary and explaining philosophical concepts in simpler terms. They can help them extract key arguments, understand the context, and develop strategies for independent critical reading, making those challenging texts much less daunting.

Is an Advanced Higher in Philosophy a good option for university applications?

If your child enjoys the subject and performs well, an Advanced Higher in Philosophy is an excellent choice. It further develops the deep analytical and argumentative skills that universities value highly, showcasing your child's commitment to rigorous academic thought. It's seen as a strong indicator of intellectual capability, not a niche subject.
