About Cristofre

Bio

I have a Ph.D. In philosophy and have taught classes such as the Humanities, critical thinking (informal logic), intro to philosophy, ethics, political philosophy, and the German idealists. The humanities courses I have taught encompass a variety of disciplines, including sociology, art history, literature, anthropology, and film. I have also taught psychology at the graduate level. In addition, I have 290+ hours tutoring through Wyzant.

I have a Ph.D. In philosophy and have taught classes such as the Humanities, critical thinking (informal logic), intro to philosophy, ethics, political philosophy, and the German idealists. The humanities courses I have taught encompass a variety of disciplines, including sociology, art history, literature, anthropology, and film. I have also taught psychology at the graduate level. In addition, I have 290+ hours tutoring through Wyzant.

In any of the subjects I teach, my primary concern is how well the student learns the subject matter, and as such I tailor my approach to the specific needs and strengths of the student. There is no cookie cutter mold for how an individual student learns. Hence I adapt how I teach to each student's particular way of learning, including the strengths and weaknesses of the individual.

Approved Subjects

Anthropology

Anthropology

Taught online courses for Colorado Technical University in Anthropology, under the rubric of the Humanities, called World Cultures & Values. Used the textbook: "Culture Counts: A Concise Introduction to Cultural Anthropology," with supplemental writings, including: "The Pirahã" by Daniel Everett; Malinowski on "Science & Magic"; "The Relation of Habitual Thought and Behavior to Language" by Benjamin Whorf; and "Body Ritual Among the Nacirema" by Horace Miner.
Classics

Classics

With a PhD in philosophy, and having taught humanities courses for a number of years, I have taught a wide range of what are usually called classics. Works taught - and this is not an inclusive list - include, in the realm of philosophy: Plato's dialogues ("The Republic," etc.), Aristotle, Descartes, Kant, Hegel, Marx, Hume, and John Stuart Mill. In the realm of literature, I have taught Sophocles, Aeschylus, Shakespeare, Melville's "Moby-Dick" and "Bartleby the Scrivener," Edgar Allan Poe, William Golding, and Cormac McCarthy.
Grammar

Grammar

I have 15+ years teaching, which includes editing and correcting grammatical errors or simply confusing constructions. In every paper I grade or review, I always check for correct grammar. In fact, part of the points for any given paper consist of the use of correct grammar. If a student has a problem, I will go through the paper line by line to show her what grammatical mistakes were made and ways to fix those errors.
Philosophy

Philosophy

I have a PhD in philosophy and have taught a wide variety of courses including critical thinking/informal logic, introductory philosophy courses, ethics, political and social philosophy, epistemology, and metaphysics.
Proofreading

Proofreading

I have 15+ years in grading undergraduate and post-graduate writing; this includes correcting grammar, spelling, and evaluating the overall internal logic of papers. I have also worked in the not-for-profit sector, where I had to both write and evaluate a wide variety of written work.
Psychology

Psychology

I have a PhD in philosophy, and have taught in the psychology graduate program at Roosevelt University.
Reading

Reading

I have over fifteen years of experience in reading and grading student papers, both in undergraduate and graduate school. I grade not only for content, but also grammar, spelling, style, and the internal logical coherence of the student's writing. I have also written numerous lesson plans for students from K-12, mainly geared for students in CPS schools.
Social Studies

Social Studies

In both the philosophy and humanities courses I have taught, I have used various texts typically associated with the social sciences (including psychology). I have taught excerpts from Max Weber's "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism," Marx's "The Communist Manifesto," Freud's "Civilization and its Discontents," Stanley Milgram's "Obedience to Authority," Putnam's "Bowling Alone," and Jane Jacobs's "The Death and Life of Great American Cities."
Sociology

Sociology

My expertise in sociology is part and parcel with my qualification in social studies. As mentioned, I have taught excerpts from Max Weber's "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism," Marx's "The Communist Manifesto," Freud's "Civilization and its Discontents," Stanley Milgram's "Obedience to Authority," Putnam's "Bowling Alone," and Jane Jacobs's "The Death and Life of Great American Cities."
Writing

Writing

I have over fifteen years of experience in grading student papers, both in undergraduate and graduate school. I grade not only for content, but also grammar, spelling, style, and the logical coherence of the student's writing. I have also written and edited writing in the not-for-profit sector (10 years). I have published essays on the peer-reviewed site "The Artifice," and have also published poetry.

Michael, 5 lessons with Cristofre

Flexible, accessible, knowledgeable, and super at ease with my anxiety!

Cristofre was exceedingly patient when it came to guiding me back to the prompt over, and over, and over. I really need extra help focusing on organizational issues when it comes to writing and making sure I am clearly able to articulate what I understand. He helped clarify a number of concepts and has always been prompt in contacting me when I've asked for a lesson. I feel so fortunate to have found him and look forward to working with him again.
