๐ ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ข๐ก๐ฆ:
Are you ready to become a certified expert on Descartes, Nietzsche, Socrates and Aristotle? Be able to ace the dreaded essay on the philosophy exam and handle contemporary debates with ease? I've got you covered!
Work with me individually, or, join a discussion group to rival the big brain philosophising of 5th century Athens. But minus the hemlock martyrdom.
I'll guide you through the current VCE Philosophy study design and give you that extra edge that'll help you ace the most challenging parts of the subject.
In our lessons, weโll have discussions and debates, drawing on my wide philosophy reading base, to help you develop opinions that will make you stand out from the crowd. Youโll learn how to justify your arguments in your essays so you can smash the most important part of the exam. Plus, Iโll explain concepts with my own memorable examples and thought experiments that make the content less intimidating.
Above all, I strive to make my lessons something you look forward to, so you can develop a ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น-๐น๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒ ๐น๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฝ๐ต๐ถ๐น๐ผ๐๐ผ๐ฝ๐ต๐!

โ A ๐ณ๐๐น๐น ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ for all the content covered in the current study design, including evaluations and contemporary examples for each philosopher

โ Help throughout the week via text for all those burning questions
โ And finally, a passionate friend to help you along your philosophy journey :)
I'm also happy to assist uni students, particularly those undertaking philosophy as a mandatory unit / breadth subject.
If youโd like to enquire about individual or group tutoring, OR, if you just have questions in general, shoot me a message! Iโll never turn down a chat about philosophy.
Please note prices are adjustable depending on your circumstances and school. I don't want finances to be a barrier to engaging with philosophy!

Nalini has helped me so much throughout 3/4 Philosophy! After a year with her, I had a strong knowledge of the entire course and had developed my writing and comprehension skills immensely. I definitely wouldn't have been able to do as well on my SACs and the exam without her help โ I owe all my success in Philosophy to Nalini and would highly recommend her if you're considering her as your tutor!

Nalini is a fantastic tutor and I would highly recommend her for anyone that wants to excel in VCE Philosophy. Her passion for the subject combined with her knowledge of the tips and tricks of how to do well makes her a highly desirable tutor. You genuinely can not go wrong with her as your tutor!

Nalini really helped me break up the content into small understandable sections that were much easier to understand and she was more then willing to answer all my countless basic questions, but that was the main improvement everything else also improved quite significantly and my grades reflected that. Iโve had a few tutors for various subjects and thought a philosophy tutor might be sort of hard to find considering that itโs not the most popular subject in the world, however Nalini was definitely the best tutor Iโve ever had.

Nalini helped me this year to gain a confident understanding in VCE Philosophy. She took the time to understand how I learn and really exceeded my expectations. She knows exactly what sheโs talking about and it was incredibly comforting to have had someone I could just message a question to and get a speedy response. Really wonderful!

Nalini was so helpful and tailored lessons to your needs! She has helped me improve so much this year for philosophy 3/4 by knowing what the examiners want in responses. Her resources are amazing, with lots of practice essays, questions, notes and more. I couldn't have done philo without her, you will not regret your decision if you choose to tutor with Nalini :)

Nalini is super empowering and a great role model for my child. She has been able to help my daughter a lot in understanding her true potential in her work. Also how to make right choices for herself. I cannot thank you enough Nalini. May you continue to make an impact on others. God Bless

Tutors like Nalini are a rare find. Her maturity and knowledge far exceed her years. She tutors all three of my children - a wide variety of ages, abilities and temperaments - with high level of understanding of each ones individual needs. Her skill, patience and assertiveness has resulted in much advancement for my most challenging son. I could recommend her more highly. Sheโs a hidden gem.

Naliniโs quality of teaching is second to none. I appreciate how much effort she puts into getting acquainted with the way each student learns which makes every tutoring session enjoyable and valuable!
