Online Tutor Katie

In 2019 I completed my D.Phil in Theology and Religion at the University of Oxford where the focus of my research was on the philosophical problem of free will - how we can ascribe moral responsibility for our actions in a world where events might be causally determined and hence beyond our control. I am always interested in looking for new ways to solve seemingly intractable problems and that's why I decided to look at the free will problem from the perspective of Buddhist Philosophy. Prior to my D.Phil I also completed my BA in Philosophy and Theology at the University of Oxford and my MA in The History of Philosophy at King's College London.

Since completing my D.Phil, I have worked at Princeton University Centre for Human Values as a visiting lecturer and researcher. At Princeton I have taught courses on Indian philosophy and religion and have co-taught practical ethics classes on the ethics of eating.

I am extremely passionate about philosophy and religious studies because I believe that the study of these subjects offers unique insights into human nature, the essence of knowledge and truth, and can inform how we should live our lives ethically. In my tutorials I seek not only enable students to obtain the best possible grades but also to celebrate the true value of philosophy by immersing themselves in the subject and allowing it to shape their view of life.
