LoginMichael - Tooting tutor
Information About Michael:
Personal Description:
I am a postgraduate at the University of Bristol; I have a varied educational background in Music, Sociology, Theology, Classical Civilisation, and particularly (my main subject) Philosophy. Within philosophy my areas are quite expansive; ethics, metaphysics, aesthetics, history of philosophy, philosophy of science, epistemology and the interplay between them.
I have an undergraduate degree in Sociology and Philosophy (2:i) and am reading towards my MA, moving on to PhD.
Teaching Experience:
I have run discussion groups and run talks and seminars of my work, and encouraged discussions in groups; I have also been a teaching assistant at a primary school.
Tutoring Approach:
I like to help people realise their potential, and help people to help themselves. What is important is to make the material seem approachable, and never to say something is hard; that already makes it difficult from the word go. There is a difference between having lots of steps and procedure, to being hard. Nothing is really hard, its just not seen how it can be overcome. I've found a lot of tutoring involves a supportive character as well as addressing the material. I can appreciate from my own experience of studying and from my experience tutoring that there are many anxieties and worries with coursework and exams.
