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!

Hello! 👋 I'm a South Korean high schooler in Canada who is ✨obsessed✨ with emojis. ❣️I tutor in❣️ ↳ R&W ↳ pre-algebra ↳ enrichment ↳ Schoolhouse tutors ↳ I also do 1-on-1 sessions on the subjects above! For more individually tailored lessons and help, just search me up here and request a 1:1 - https://schoolhouse.world/find-a-tutor ---> some uninteresting stuff about me: ✏️📚 I like reading and writing (both hobby-wise and academically). In 2024, I read over 200 books (and that's not counting the 187 manga I read). 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 (..yes I'm a redditor >:] 🧠 I'm really interested in neuroscience and psychology. I have a certificate of completion for my local university's college-level introductory course in those subjects and am a graduate of the Women's Alliance in STEM and Humanities (WASH SRI)'s 2025 summer program for computational neuroscience. 🏫 At school, I have straight A's... aside from P.E. and French... ugh... 😖 🤩 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), reading Webtoon, and simping over guys from said books, anime, and webtoons. Oh, and I really like J-pop! (eve >>>). 💕 Okay, time to spread the word!! 🗣️ Read/watch tgcf, jjk, cherry crush, owari no seraph, bsd, alnst, hell's paradise, death note, sweet home, mdzs/the untamed, wind breaker, noragami, orv, lookism, teenage mercenary, my comeback as the youngest member, 6 of crows, demon slayer, perfect world, the infernal devices, peerless, naruto, fence, hooky, blue lock, aot!! Trust me on this, k? 🥹 😻 Lastly, since we're not allowed to exchange contact info on SHW, if you have the same interests as me (esp in anime/books) you should dm me on Slack! My username & display name is the same on that site as here. this is getting really long... I'm sorry.... >﹏<
