About

A summer series of casual philosophy conversations where we explore life, meaning, people, and those questions we rarely say out loud. No homework, no lectures - just honest talk with curious minds who don't claim to have the answers.

Each session dives into one deep, open-ended question - like "What does it really mean to be happy?" or "Why do we care so much about what others think?" - and leaves space for whatever thoughts come up.

No philosophy experience required. Just bring your curiosity, and open mind, and maybe a little wonder.

Come with questions. Leave with more.

Hey! I'm a high school junior from Connecticut. I tutor a range of subjects, but my main focus is math (specifically Geometry). I'm also happy to help with APUSH, AP US Gov't & Politics, and math from Pre-Algebra through Algebra 2. I'm currently studying for the SAT, AP classes, and other core subjects. If you have any questions or would like to request sessions with me, you are welcome to message me here on SHW or Slack. While I don't hold regular sessions during the school year, I will be checking SHW periodically and respond to messages.

Hi everyone, I’m a senior in high school at a public school in New Jersey. I love animals, listening to music, reading and playing volleyball. I’m hoping to help people out with academics - whether it is SAT math or your high school Algebra 2!

(!!) semi-hiatus Hello! 👋 I'm Olivia, but you can call me Liv. I am a South Korean teen who is currently attending high school in Ontario, Canada. Currently, I am on Schoolhouse to talk about real-world issues with peers through the Dialogues program, prep for my first SAT, and receive help for some school subjects I'm struggling with. I also tutor in English, pre-algebra, and various topics in Enrichment, but usually only during extended academic breaks (like in the summer!) Here is some uninteresting info about me: ✏️📚 I like reading and writing (both hobby-wise and academically). In 2025, I read over 100 novels and 300 manga/graphic novels. I've won local and school-affiliated awards for academic excellence in writing. I'm also a mod for a book-related subreddit with over 1.3 million members and make book content on social media, where I have gained a total following of nearly 10k across my platforms over the span of 6 years. Furthermore, I am the founder and president of my school's book club with nearly 30 members, where we host book-related events like book fairs, talk about books, and bring in published authors to interview. I do some volunteering at my local libraries as well. 🧠 I'm really interested in neuroscience and psychology. I have an accredited certificate for my local university's college-level introductory course in neurology and am a graduate of the Women's Alliance in STEM and Humanities (WASH SRI)'s 2025 summer program for computational neuroscience. Currently, I am self-studying for AP Psychology as well as prepping for the 2026 International Psychology Olympiad. Additionally, I am a member of my school board's mental health council and my school's Neuroscience club. 🏫 At school, my GPA is around 3.8 (self-calculated & unweighted), and I'm a member of the student council as head of digital media and publicity team co-lead. 🤩 Besides reading and writing, some of my hobbies include art (both digital & trad), watching anime (I'm obsessed with a new character every week... you can usually tell who by my profile picture hehe), and listening to music! 💕Here are some of the fandoms I'm in! music: alien stage (esp akugetsu hehe), J-pop (eve, natori, tatsuya kitani, ado, band-maid, yoasobi, fuji kaze, L, etc etc), hazbin hotel, will stetson, marino, occasional C- or K- pop movies: anime movies (your name, look back, jjk 0 to name a few) dramas: all of us are de@d, sweet home, the untamed, alice in borderland manhua/webtoons: lookism, orv, sweet home, su!cide boy, hooky, morganza & oz, teenage mercenary, hiding out in the apocalypse, heartstopper, the end has come, viral hit, questism, 44th period: survival class, hazeshift, the last passage, here u are, my comeback as the youngest member, our walk home, shirai, & more anime/manga: demon slayer, jjk, all of junji ito's stories, aot, code geass, seraph of the end, noragami, takopi's original sin, one piece, naruto, alice in borderland, monster, death note, bungo stray dogs, haikyuu, blue lock, horimiya, daganronpa, hell's paradise, among others heh books: heaven official's blessing (tgcf), grandmaster of demonic cultivation (mdzs), orv, six of crows & the grishverse books, shadowhunter books, legend, pjo & the riordanverse books, kotlc, song of achilles, radio silence, dark rise other: alien stage, the fence graphic novels, love & deepspace, genshin impact, pjsk (hatsune miku colorful stage), daganronpa
