About Liz
I have spent quite a few years as a serious ‘grown-up’ academic, both as a teacher and a researcher. I’ve taught everything from huge lecture classes with 300 students to one-to-one dissertation supervisions. I have edited a book, and published a number of articles in philosophical journals.
Over the years, philosophy has taken me to some exciting places, as well as the lecture and seminar room. I have conducted philosophical nature walks, talked to audiences aged 5-85 at a music festival, and conducted numerous philosophical events in cafes and pubs.
Following the birth of my son, I increasingly came to feel that the world of academia was not right for me at this stage in my life, and decided to hold on to the fun stuff (teaching, writing, and doing philosophy at cool events) and ditch the less fun stuff (departmental committee meetings, lengthy admin, research assessment exercises).
When I am not teaching, writing or talking about philosophy, I am usually painting, walking in pretty places, cooking, and enjoying spending time with my husband and our very tiny philosopher. I am also training to become a psychotherapeutic counsellor.

My teaching is tailored to your specific needs, and focused on helping you to work out the ideas for yourself.
One of the most common ways that students of philosophy struggle is that they find it difficult to articulate and develop their own views, going beyond simply repeating the things that they have been taught. One of the ways that I can help you is to allow you to see that those ideas were there all along, and then all we need to do is work on refining them.
I am a dedicated philosophy tutor with 15 years of experience in teaching philosophy at universities, at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. I have taught at Durham University, The University of York, The University of East Anglia, and Anglia Ruskin University.
I have designed modules, delivered lectures, marked assignments, supervised dissertations, and served on exam boards, so I know exactly what your examiners are looking for. I have also worked as the admissions tutor for philosophy at Durham University, so I can help you to write a great university application.
I can help you with
- Understanding philosophical theories and positions
- Analysing arguments and other critical thinking skills
- Learning to write philosophy essays
- Exam preparation
- Time management
- University applications
- Dissertation planning
- Developing and refining your own independent arguments
