How does it work?

I tailor my instruction to how you learn best. We'll start by talking about what you want to achieve, then figure out if you prefer regular weekly sessions or just booking time when you need help. Some people love structured curriculums where we build projects step by step, others prefer a more spontaneous "let's figure this out together" approach. I'm open to whichever works best with your learning style. All sessions happen online via Google Meet or Zoom.

Approach to Learning

I think everyone should learn to be independent and stay curious. Learning can be intimidating, especially with unfamiliar jargon, and that's where help can make a big difference. No matter where you are with learning, I'm open to helping however I can. I don't judge people or make assumptions about what they know since everyone has different backgrounds and experiences.

Curious about working together? Let's just have a conversation first. We can chat about what you're hoping to learn, what's been frustrating you, how you like to learn, and get to know each other.

Why Philosophy, Programming & Literature?

Why these three subjects specifically? Philosophy teaches you to question everything and think clearly, Programming gives you tools to build and solve problems systematically, and Literature develops your empathy and understanding of what it means to be human.

Carl Jung worried that Western culture focuses too much on logical, rational thinking and not enough on intuitive, emotional knowledge. This creates an imbalance where people can master technical skills but lack wisdom, compassion, or deeper understanding of what makes us human.

Bringing these three fields together helps us navigate a world where technology is constantly reshaping how we relate to each other. Tools change us whether we realize it or not. We need both technical skills and humanistic wisdom to make sure that change actually serves human flourishing instead of just making us more efficient machines.

On Sophistry

What is sophistry? (Hint: it's not just a wise tree.) Today it has a bad reputation, but in ancient Greece it was a respected profession. The word comes from the Greek sophistēs, meaning "teacher of wisdom." The original Sophists were traveling teachers who taught rhetoric, philosophy, and argumentation. Over time, people started using "sophistry" to mean clever but deceptive arguments.

Friedrich Nietzsche argued that being able to argue multiple sides of a question isn't dishonest. It shows deep understanding and mental flexibility. Real sophistry means you can defend your arguments while understanding that most meaningful questions are complex. This skill of seeing ideas from multiple perspectives is what I try to help people develop in all subjects.
