Hi, I'm Kai. I'm a third-year PPE student at SOAS, University of London, with a special focus on African and East Asian philosophy and political economy, though I have a strong background in the traditional Western syllabus too. I have a year's experience tutoring GCSE and A-Level students in Philosophy, Politics, Religious Studies, Economics and Drama, both online and in-person in London. My goal as a tutor is to make these complex subjects feel less daunting to students studying them for the first time, while bringing a sense of excitement and curiosity into their learning.
As president of my uni's philosophy society, my passion was showing how these topics aren't just confined to the classroom but affect our day-to-day lives. I want to bring that same approach to my tutoring, helping you see why these subjects are important in our ever-changing world and to think critically about the world around you.
I'm particularly interested in study techniques. As a neurodivergent student, I've developed effective ways to study and revise, which helped me achieve A*/A grades across my four A-Levels. I can help create tailored learning strategies that work for your brain, not against it. I use tools such as Anki, Notion, and Obsidian, and can give practical advice on note-taking and revision.
Sessions are highly interactive: I am a firm believer in the fact that varied forms of learning mean better retention. Expect informal discussions, games, critical thinking exercises and puzzles to help the subjects come alive. I'm a big fan also of whiteboards and will try and make all my explanations as visual as possible, so expect lots of drawings!
If you need help with a specific subject or want to improve how you study, send me a message. We can discuss what you're looking for and see if it's a good fit.
