<aside> 🍏 I believe that everyone has something to gain from, and offer to, the study of philosophy, and that my principal role as an educator is to foster an environment in which students can discover their own particular philosophical potential.

“Natalie is the best philosophy tutor I’ve had. She’s really friendly and approachable so everyone feel[s] comfortable to get involved in the discussion. She really helps to clarify the lectures and draw out the key issues, and her small group discussion structure is helpful so we all share ideas.”
“I really enjoy Natalie’s tutorials, I find them very interactive and they always clear up any issues I have from lectures. She is very supportive when people speak out in tutorials and always involves everyone. I find them very enjoyable; and have specifically chosen her as a tutor this term following last year with Natalie as my tutor.”
“The other tutors for philosophy courses do not compare to the experience of being tutored [by] Natalie. Thank you!”
I have given lectures, seminars, and supervision at every level of undergraduate and postgraduate study.
