Private Tuition (ages 11+)

I offer private tuition, especially for those seeking a more intellectually serious and culturally grounded education than some standard school curricula often provide.

Many of my students attend leading international and independent schools. Tuition is tailored individually, whether the goal is academic excellence, preparation for future study in law, politics, business, or the humanities, or broader intellectual formation.

Tuition is available:

  • Online internationally

  • In-person in Vienna

  • During periods in London

Areas taught include

  • Philosophy

  • Politics and political theory

  • Literature and close reading

  • History and intellectual history

  • Rhetoric and essay writing

  • Cultural criticism and media literacy

  • Guided reading programmes (for examples, see here)

Lessons emphasise

  • Sustained attention and discussion

  • Careful reading of texts

  • Articulate speech and persuasive writing

  • Development of memory, interpretation, and judgment

  • Intellectual confidence without dogmatism

Depending on age and level, students may encounter writers including Homer, Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, Shakespeare, Kant, Marx, Nietzsche, Wilde, Mann, Orwell, Arendt, Nabokov, Habermas, and contemporary critics and philosophers.
