2 Philosophy lessons

John was a fantastic tutor. He willing traveled to me, which is not close to his home. I am a college student and struggled with my philosophy course. But, with John's help, I received a perfect score on both 6 page papers, and an A in the class. I highly recommend John.
Kathleen M.

2 Philosophy lessons

My son liked how Geoffrey pointed out those things to him and had him work through those problems while also clarifying concepts my son might not have fully grasped before. It's clear that his teaching method is consistent with his philosophy that "a student should have a deep and thorough understanding of the material - not merely know how to get the correct answer."
Gina Q.

1 Philosophy lesson

James concisely explained and unraveled an entire semester of ancient and modern philosophy in one lesson better than two professors did in an entire semester!! I highly recommend him, and his ability to convey or interpret a difficult subject in a manner that a lay person can easily grasp!
