Able to teach GCSE, A-Level, and undergraduate philosophy and ethics classes with a focus on surpassing curriculum basics, and adopting the writing tactics of the next level.
I take the knowledge my students have and challenge them in an enjoyable way to help them form the habits and understanding which makes great essays!
My lessons focus on two key aspects: understanding key concepts; and writing philosophy fluently. Combining these both will ensure essays and exams are confidently excelled.

Perfect! I started my master’s in philosophy in September 2020, halfway through the year, I had not passed a single module. So, I contacted Serena around January 2020 and everything changed. Right away she helped me improve my essay planning technique, recommended me additional readings and helped me improve my writing technique. Serena went above and beyond and pushed me constantly to improve the quality of my work. Before, I started having lessons with Serena, I was predicted a fail for my masters but because of her I will be getting a merit/distinction, me on only regret is not starting lessons with her sooner. Also, Serena is knowledgeable and passionate about philosophy, whether it is metaphysics, political philosophy, epistemology or logic, she knows a lot about every topic. I am going to carry on with Serena all the way up until the end of my PhD. Thank you for everything!
Perfect! Serena was the most amazing tutor. I was very nervous and stressed about redoing my dissertation but she made me feel very calm and confident about my work. She is a very talented and knowledgeable tutor. She always knows what she is doing and I could see a huge improvement in my work and my thinking processes because of her. I learnt a lot from her sessions and I couldn’t recommend her enough.
Vanessa was an absolute pleasure to tutor. She committed to all lessons books and dedicated herself to the sessions. She was very honest about her need to improve and was eager to delve into the work needed to be done. I wish her all the best with her future endeavours.
Perfect! Serena is a great tutor. She is fully prepared and recommended a lot of relevant academic articles to look at. I highly recommend anyone who needs extra support on philosophy to approach her.
Vera was a highly engaged and dedicated tutee who I expect will have a very bright future in law one day. Highly recommend.
Perfect! Serena helped me a lot with structuring my essays!
Really eager student with a bright future
Perfect! Serena has been really helpful and her tutoring allowed me to understand and clarify concepts in detail as well as to improve my analytical and essay-writing skills
Riccardo was very organised with his time, letting me know in advance when he required lessons. He had very good philosophical insight and I do not doubt that he will be very successful in his degree.
Serena is an excellent philosopher and her expertise in the subject is clear in the way she explains concepts and arguments. As a teacher and examiner of philosophy, I can strongly recommend her to any student looking for help to improve their skills and their grade.
Serena is an engaging teacher and cultivates a genuine understanding of the subject. As a former student, I really enjoyed her lessons and found her approach very friendly and professional!
