Outstanding Mentor

Raymond’s outstanding knowledge of Kantian ethics was instrumental in shaping my Ph.D. proposal. His deep understanding, insightful analysis, and ability to articulate complex philosophical concepts with clarity made a significant impact on my work. His support not only strengthened my arguments but also helped me approach my research with a more rigorous and nuanced ethical framework. I highly recommend Raymond to anyone seeking expertise in philosophy and ethics!

Knowledgeable and skilled tutor

Raymond was exceptional helping my daughter with essays for a college-level philosophy course. He talked through key ideas in readings, helped my daughter refine outlines for essays, and gave helpful feedback on essay drafts. My daughter tried 4 tutors before Raymond and after her first session with him she said she had found the best tutor ever!

Insightful, Caring, and Humble Philosophy Tutor!

I am a freshman at Columbia University pursuing a dual-degree major in Economics and Philosophy. Before meeting Ray, I was very lost in my classes. I had trouble keeping up with class texts on Plato, Socrates, Nietzsche, Hegel, Kant, Kierkegaard, etc. Ray was foundational to my success in both of my Philosophy classes (received 4.0), as he broke down each major concept into absorbable bite-sized pieces of information that I could readily absorb. I have worked with many tutors, but none with whom I've stayed a client for such a long duration. Raymond is insightful, caring, humble, and evidently passionate about Philosophy. He is unique in his ability to transform boring Philosophical texts into animate conversations on their relevance. Without his help, I don't think I would've chosen to pursue my dual-major program. To anyone who may be reading this review, I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you so much Ray!

Knowledgeable, explains well

Raymond was good at explaining things and using examples and analogies to help me understand. Helped to break down the given and implied principles to aid me in drawing a conclusion. He was able to answer my questions and was thorough.
