Welcome to the Advanced Deep Thinkers - In this intellectually stimulating and thought-provoking online course, we invite young philosophers who possess an exceptional grasp of concepts or have prior experience in studying philosophy. As an educator, my primary goal is to foster a deep understanding and appreciation for philosophical inquiry and critical thinking Unlike traditional classrooms, my approach will be entirely centered on fostering my students growth as philosophical...

- I have a BA in History and Philosophy. After realizing that young students could comprehend and deal with the same theories I was learning at a University Level I began tutoring students from ages 7-18 in Philosophy, and realized the huge impact it could have not only academically, but how it could change their lives. - Tutoring 16-18 year olds for their Philosophy A-Levels in the UK. - The one complaint I had from my University Philosophy experience was the lack of diversity in the types of Philosophers we studied (they tended towards European Males). Philosophy is a part of every culture around the world, and each has their own way of solving these questions, so we will look at a variety of perspectives with class. I have been a Mental Health Mentor working with a diverse range of students, during this time I made sure to expand my knowledge of other cultures, and I am also a POC myself, so ensure the studying of other cultures is done accurately and respectfully. - I spent 6 years as a Nanny to a variety of different age children, some were home schooled and I would be responsible for their lessons. I enjoyed teaching Philosophy immensely as children are natural Philosophers. References of teaching experience are available if requested!
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Philosophy deals with the world, and as such it must deal with worldly issues. Violence, would not be dealt with directly but perhaps would be suggested in questions such as 'Is it right to harm a few to save the many'. When considering Political Philosophy, current politics will not be a topic, however we may spend time thinking about how leaders should lead, or what is fair? Or look at theoretical Political Philosophers such as Lao Tzu, while staying away from any politics of the day. All material will be presented via Googleslides and screen shared by the teacher.
