University Philosophy Tuition

University-level Philosophy tackles the big question like how to live well, how can we know that other people have minds and how can we know anything at all! Perhaps you are studying Philosophy as part of a Religious Studies or Theology degree – we can help you too! We look forward to some lively debates with you about the Problem of Evil, the nature of the divine and the arguments for the existence of God!

We offer personal tuition to support your degree. We also specialise in rare and niche topics like Ancient Philosophy of Mathematics and Philosophy of Anthropology, so whatever your university module combination, it’s very likely we can help you out! We offer personal tuition to support your degree. Click the links to meet your tutor, find out what we offer, or read summaries of topics that will help you in your studies.

Dr. Jane Orton has a PhD in Classics and Philosophy, in which she looked at the impact of mathematics on the philosophy of Plato. She also did her first research Masters’ in the development of Classical Greek political philosophy and her second Masters’ involved quite a lot of research into Buddhist philosophy. Jane designed and taught philosophy courses at the University of Edinburgh when she was completing her PhD, and has university level exam marking experience. You can listen to her academic papers and presentations on our research page.

“Jane was quick to respond to contact, and my daughter has found her excellent as a tutor.”

- Melissa

“Dr. Orton's encouragement and support throughout the process were immensely motivating. She was always available to answer my questions and provided constructive criticism that helped me grow as a researcher.”

- Bartosz

Jane says:

“Quite often students are surprised to find how quickly sessions go by and how much material we’ve covered in the time we’ve spent together.

We might spend one session focusing on content for a particular topic, followed by another session devoted to essay planning, feedback and what examiners are looking for. Our tutorials will be geared towards what you need to know for your exams, but we won’t lose sight of what makes your topic exciting.”

University is a time of great intellectual independence and an opportunity to specialise in the subjects you love, but it can be intimidating to work without regular supervision. We provide regular or ad hoc personal tuition on topics in most areas of the humanities, including History, Philosophy, Politics, International Relations, Religious Studies, Theology, Anthropology, Folklore, Area Studies, Classics and Ancient History. You will receive personalised tuition with trained academics, enhancing your understanding of the course material through fun and rigorous discussion. In addition, we will give you in-depth, individual feedback on your essays, close progress monitoring and personalised attention from academic experts. Contact us to get started.

Many students feel intimidated by the thought of doing their own library-based or fieldwork research with minimal supervision from their university. We will help you to explore ideas for your dissertation topic, through one-on-one tutorials on your chosen subject. We will also provide feedback on drafts and ideas, and talk through academic debates, project structure and methodology. We believe that you are very capable of doing an excellent job and we will not do your work for you or engage in any other unethical practice that amounts to cheating. Instead, we will work with you to enable you to stand on your own feet and produce a dissertation of which you can be proud. Contact us to get started.

The excitement of starting a university course can sometimes be overshadowed by feelings of apprehension, but we believe that students should feel confident in their abilities when commencing a degree. For students on a gap year or those wanting to use the summer holiday to prepare for undergraduate study, we offer pre-university foundation level courses and ad hoc tutorials. Our online foundation courses can be tailored to your specific university and degree course, including History, Philosophy, Politics, International Relations, Religious Studies, Theology, Anthropology, Folklore, Area Studies, Classics and Ancient History. One-on-one Oxbridge-style tuition allows you to enhance your understanding of the course material through fun and rigorous discussion with trained academics. Contact us for a free consultation session to find out more.

Universities in the United Kingdom welcome international students from all over the world and benefit enormously from their diverse viewpoints and talents. For these students, studying in the UK can be both exciting and daunting: the emphasis on independent learning and analytical argument can be challenging for people who have previously experienced other styles of education at school. We offer pre-university foundation level courses or ad hoc tutorials to prepare international students for undergraduate study and can offer ongoing support throughout your degree. Our online tuition can be tailored to your specific university and degree course, including History, Philosophy, Politics, International Relations, Religious Studies, Theology, Anthropology, Folklore, Area Studies, Classics and Ancient History.
