Certified Professional Coach with a focus on academic coaching. BSc. Anthropology from University of Calgary and B.A Specialist of Philosophy from University of Toronto.

Dick is deeply knowledgeable in both the theoretical and practical analysis of philosophy. He is able to explain ideas both on various different levels and makes it simple to use various philosophical tools to understand and evaluate current systems and relationships.

Dick is an exceptional philosophy tutor. He masterfully unpacks tough concepts—like Descartes’ cogito, Aristotle’s golden mean, and Heidegger’s Dasein—into clear, engaging insights, guiding you to real “aha!” moments with patience and enthusiasm. Reliable, flexible, and always extra-helpful with resources.

I've had to pleasure of knowing Dick for about a decade and he is one of the sharpest people i ever had the pleasure to call a friend. Eventhough I've never been a student of his, I and basically anyone that knows him, will easily recognize his talent for teaching. He fosters a true intellectual curiosity, especially in topics that he really cares about.

A great teacher and mentor; taught me so much, would highly recommend!

Dick has been through a fair bit of "life experience," and I've found his explanations on various anecdotes, events, situations, and other similar items - to be intriguing (to say the least). He conducts his explanations and dialogue in a way that is beyond the standard - meaning in a way that you want to get involved in the conversation. I have found him to be welcoming, engaging, and overall pleasant to converse with. More so, conversations that I have had with him have felt that they would be kept confidential; this is something that is important to me. I would have to say that Dick is one of a rare breed.

So I’ve seen him a couple times giving advice to a few people and I think based on what I heard, she’s a big hearted very centered and helpful teacher with great advice. As far as I could tell seems like he could be a positive asset to any working conditions, guarantee, he would be a great addition to your community I guarantee he will be a great addition to the community

I’ve known Dick for several years, both as a teacher and as someone who truly lives the ideas he shares. He has a rare ability to take complex concepts and make them feel personal and relevant without ever watering them down. His teaching style is calm, patient, and grounded in real curiosity. He listens carefully, and when he responds, it’s always thoughtful and sincere.

One of my favorite memories was a long conversation we had about meaning and responsibility. Instead of giving me a quick answer, he helped me work through my own thoughts and find clarity on my own terms. That’s what makes him special. He doesn’t just teach philosophy; he helps you understand yourself through it.

I recommend Dick to anyone looking for a teacher who is intelligent, kind, and authentic. He has a genuine gift for guiding people toward deeper thinking and honest reflection.

Been taught many of things by Mr. Dick. He is a teacher under so many things. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher. If anyone is needing any caught up on any kind of info this would be the person to go too.
