About Simon
I have fourteen years’ teaching experience and currently teach at Windsor Forest Sixth Form College. My work as a tutor is focused on Philosophy, essay writing, argument, and careful intellectual development.
I hold a First-Class BA and an MA in Philosophy and am undertaking doctoral research in Philosophy at Royal Holloway, University of London. My research focuses on Aristotle, human nature, metaphysical realism and moral psychology. My lessons are rigorous, patient, and attentive to the individual student. The aim is not only to understand philosophical ideas, but to think with greater clarity, write with greater precision, and develop the confidence to form considered judgements.
I work particularly well with students who want to improve the structure, depth, and evaluative quality of their written work, whether at A Level, undergraduate level, or through independent study.

Philosophy becomes truly exciting once it feels clear and alive. Together, we can work through any part of the A Level syllabus - from epistemology and moral philosophy to the metaphysics of mind - or go beyond the exam to explore wider philosophical questions.
Each session is fully tailored to your goals: whether that’s essay structure and argumentation, exam preparation, or developing more original, university-level thinking. Sessions can be one hour or longer depending on your needs.
For me, philosophy is much more than a subject - it’s a disciplined way of questioning and understanding the world. My aim is to help students not only succeed in exams but also discover the pleasure of real thought.

Simon is truly made to be a teacher. He is very knowledgeable in everything. The lessons are very productive and fluent, in a very short time I even started to chat with people. If you can't speak a word like me, I would definitely say try Simon. You will not believe the improvement you have shown.
Simon is an excellent communicator who adapts easily to the needs of each student. He reveals his language and culture in a clear, creative and empathetic way.
It was a pleasure learning from you, thank you very much.A great English teacher with a big heart, all the time willing to help others. Undoubtedly the best experience in learning the English language I never had.
I met Simon a couple of years ago. I needed to improve my English and to study hard to pass the Academic English IELTS exam for my career in the UK. Simon is a teacher who works with professionalism and kindness; he interacts cordially with the students. I passed my exam with a good score and I am still in contact with him.
he is an excellent teacher. he has patience. and he knows how to explain in such a way that you understand quickly and easily. Thanks for the classes.
Simon was my English teacher for roughly 6 months in the weirdest times that we’ve never ever known, when the online option was the only one... Highlighting, you notice that he speaks fluently a foreign language, so it’s a guarantee that he teaches you English. Top
Simon is one of the best teachers I ever had, is profesional and he is very friendly.
He know how to teach.
I have been in many English Courses with others teacher but I felt a really big difference in my English knowledge with Simon.
Simon was the best teacher I have ever had. Me and other students from the Dior company in Argentina miss him very much. He was able not only to find different ways to teach us, but also he has something that others teachers don't have which is creativity and an amazing power of observation which allows him to give you the best feedback. I learnt a lot from him.
