Charlotte Skye

I offer one-to-one philosophy tutorials tailored entirely to the needs of the individual student: whether you are preparing for an A-level or IB exam, working through a challenging undergraduate module, developing a postgraduate dissertation, or simply exploring philosophical ideas as an adult learner.

My sessions are rooted in the Socratic method: rather than lecturing, I guide students through careful questioning, close reading of primary texts, and structured argument-building. The goal is not just to help you understand the material, but to develop the kind of independent, rigorous thinking that philosophy rewards, and that transfers across academic disciplines and everyday life.

I draw on formal training and university-level teaching experience across the full range of core philosophical areas, including epistemology, formal logic, philosophy of science, philosophy of medicine and psychiatry, metaphysics, feminist philosophy, aesthetics, and the history of Western philosophy. I also support students with sociology and research methods, including training in NVivo, SPSS, and Stata.

Typical sessions run 60 to 90 minutes, though this is flexible depending on your workload and goals. I am equally comfortable working through a specific essay question, building foundational understanding from scratch, or providing detailed written feedback on your work between sessions.

I hold an AHRC-funded PhD candidacy at the University of Birmingham, an MA with Distinction in Philosophy of Biological and Cognitive Sciences from the University of Bristol, and a First Class BA (Hons) in Philosophy with Sociology. Lessons are available online across the UK and in person in Birmingham.
