Philosophy can be tough and what you need to master it, is an understanding of the concepts and arguments, not just cramming the work. I can teach students how to access credible resources and how to read philosophy effectively.

I studied Philosophy for three years and always received above 70. I often find that Philosophy can be quite dense so I like to break it down into simpler arguments in order to understand it.
