Experience

NB: It is unlikely that I will work with you if your initial communication with me shows you've not read what follows. ---------------------------------------------------------------- I hold a PhD in Philosophy of Religion & Moral Philosophy from the University of Edinburgh, an MA in Philosophical Theology from St. Michael's College, U. of Toronto, and a BA in Philosophy & Humanities from Simon Fraser University. I am a Kant specialist with strengths in a number of other areas as well: Mimetic Theory, Religion & Violence, Philosophy of Religion, Philosophy & Psychoanalysis, and Early Modern Moral Philosophy. I am an experienced tutor, having worked in this capacity at both the University of Edinburgh and at the University of Toronto. My experience and education allow me to support students working in any area of the humanities that requires imagination, analytic skill, and clear written expression of one's ideas. I support serious, dedicated learners only. If you have not read your assigned texts, I cannot help you. If you have not read your assigned texts in an intensive manner, i.e., so that you've a sizable body of notes and other signs of real engagement to show for your hard work - then I cannot help you. I work with students that are struggling with difficult texts and concepts *in spite of* having worked very hard on them. I do not work with students who are struggling with difficult texts and concepts because they have not properly done their reading. If you are seeking help with a paper and you do not have a completed first draft of your entire essay in hand, ready to share with me, I cannot help you. If you have done your readings, then I am prepared to assist you with brain-storming around essay topics, possible arguments, and essay organization (outlining). This help will consist strictly in supporting your planning of a paper that is yet to be written. I will not help you with the actual writing of a first draft. I charge $80/hr. I must be paid in advance by way of an Interac email money transfer. In order to help you, I will need to prepare well for our tutoring session. For this reason, I will not schedule a tutoring session any sooner than two full business days from the time that I receive your work and the details of your project (what texts you are discussing, what questions you are answering, etc.). In addition to the fee for our tutoring session, I charge for 2 hours of prep time for help on essays or other written homework and 1 hour of prep time for help with the comprehension of texts and concepts. With respect specifically to essay support, please note that: If you DO have a completed first draft of your paper ready to go and are prepared to pay my fee and then wait 48 hours, then I require that you share your work with me via docs.google.com. This will facilitate our subsequent interaction. Once we have scheduled a session and you have paid my fee (e.g., $240 for a one hour session with 2 hours prep) I will read your work and prepare detailed comments on it. You will then read my comments and reflect upon them. When we meet (in person or via Skype) - we will discuss your paper, together with those of my comments that require further elucidation. I will help you to make your paper the best that it can be. I will not, however, in any way, shape, or form, write your paper - or any part of your paper - for you. Let there be no misunderstanding about that.

Hobbies

Here are some of my extracurricular pursuits: I am building a book collection focused on the British Raj and related themes. I write fiction and poetry. I am an avid collector of beach-glass; I create jewellery, sun-catchers, and shadow boxes with some of my best finds. I wish there were more letterpress printing and hand-bookbinding in my life. I write songs. Sometimes I perform them live.
