About Alastair

As noted, I'm a 4th year philosophy and politics student. I'm diligent and hardworking, but I think philosophy and/or poltics, under the right circumstances can be really fun to learn about. It's a feeling I'd love to inspire in other people, as I think the critical thinking skills that it provides you are so important to navigating our information-laden world, and that we unfortunately seem to have a real paucity of it. I'm quite laid-back in my demeanour, and I enjoy the funny side in things.

In my experience, having been through tutoring myself, being bored and seeing tutoring sessions as a chore is the de facto response. Creating sessions that students therefore actually enjoy is the only way to foster proper learning and get a bang for your buck. So it's vital to me that the student has some fun along the way, and I can absolutely do that through philosophy - what can I say, it's probably the most fun subject full stop. My areas of interest in philosophy are analytical, namely epistemology and metaphysics, which conveniently lines up perfectly with Scottish Highers and A-level curriculum (the curriculum is covered in full and in more depth in university, as one might expect)!

The most important, and perhaps the best aspect of philosophy is critical thinking. It's a learnable skill that allows you to rigorously assess not only philosophy content, but all information that you come across. It is a tool that sharpens your mind and lets you separate wheat from chaff, providing you with a defence against the overwhelming stream of information we come across, especially in the digital age. Critical thinking isn't just a matter for philosophy, but for the rest of one's life.

My goal as a tutor is to develop a student's critical thinking skills as we go through the curriculum, while providing the necessary support to achieve their academic goals, whether that be mastery of content or the writing and structuring of their essays. Lessons would last an hour. I have previously tutored A-level philosophy to a family friend, and am hoping to continue provided they graduated. During lessons, I like to start by covering and explaining content, and then to challenge their understanding through arguments and thought experiments (this part is usually quite fun, and importantly, solidifies their learning). When exams are upcoming, I will ask the student to complete past papers, and take time to assess it so that I can properly advise them on how to improve.
