About Me
Highly experienced tutor and senior examiner - I have been teaching Philosophy, Religious Studies and Dutch for 20 years for those of the ages of 16+ (A-level and undergraduate). Everyone I have tutored has improved significantly, some going up 2 grades and some achieving A* with my help in their A-levels and undergraduates in their papers/essays. I am an experienced examiner for Religious Studies and Philosophy (IB and A-level and Senior Examiner for AQA Philosophy). I am a freelance writer who has published teaching resources, textbooks and other academic works as well as an author of philosophical children's stories.
Tutor Experience
For the past 20 years, I have been teaching in schools, colleges and tutoring privately. My teaching career started in The Netherlands where I taught Philosophy and English as a Second Language at a Montessori secondary school. When I returned to the UK, I taught Philosophy and Ethics for a year in a school in Leicestershire and then went on to teach A-level Philosophy, Religious Studies, Critical Thinking, General Studies and Media Studies at various colleges. I have also been an examiner for 13 years for IB Philosophy and AQA Philosophy and am currently a Senior Examiner for AQA Philosophy ( 5 years) as well as an examiner for AQA A-level RS (2 years). I am an author of various articles, books and exam guides for Philosophy and Religious Studies.
Having done various degrees in Philosophy, including a Bachelors equivalent, a Masters in European Philosophy and PhD in Medieval Philosophy/Philosophy of Religion, I have extensive experience in writing academically. I have tutored many undergraduates and postgraduates studying Philosophy with great success, helping them with research papers, assignments and preparing for exams. Undergraduates are often overwhelmed in their first year with where to start, what to do and how to write. I can help in all these areas.
As I am bi-lingual in Dutch and English, I also teach Dutch at any level. Originally I taught Dutch at a language school in Birmingham but now teach it privately.

Client Reviews
I am so grateful for Karen! She gave me excellent feedback on my work! She marked it and gave detailed suggestions on how to improve – both with the structure, the phrasing, and the ideas I am trying to convey. She added relevant points that I can add to strengthen my essay, and even suggested who and what to cite. She did all this work in beforehand so we could spend the entire lesson efficiently discussing and going through the essay. I could not have asked for a better tutor, thank you Karen :) She is also very kind <3
