Reading, Analyzing, and Discussing Philosophical Literature -- iPhilosophy Reading & Writing Club
2nd session
Reading, Analyzing, and Discussing Philosophical Texts
This is the 🔥FIRST EVER READING SERIES WHERE WE BLEND READING & WRITING WITH PHILOSOPHY🔥 in Schoolhouse! Contains 🔥INTENSIVE READING BEFORE SESSIONS and INTENSIVE DISCUSSING IN SESSIONS! It will be a 🔥great way to boost your reading & writing skills🔥 from SAT to physics, and will also 🔥help quench your thirst for philosophic discussion🔥.
Here you can:
- improve your reading comprehension skills and your proficiency in using logic -- both of which are essential for the SAT -- through reading and discussing selected primary texts by notable philosophers of a diverse span across time and topic, using beginner-friendly anthologies (collections of primary texts) as a guide.
- learn about how to write argumentative texts and how to argue effectively, again by learning from past philosophers.
- learn to appreciate texts and literature
- improve debate skills through the discussions, and gain a basic but high-coverage understanding of philosophy to aid you in producing powerful, thoughtful, and persuasive arguments!
Sessions will start with short lectures by the tutor(s) on the basics of the primary text of the session. Here, we will discuss the readings and cover reading comprehension through Q&A and check-your-understanding comprehension questions. Then, the remaining portion of time will be devoted to guided/moderated, Socratic discussions on the primary text, where participants can present their ideas and arguments and interact with each other.
Reading all of the selected text before the sessions is suggested for the best experience. We will also read excerpts from the text for discussion purposes.

English and Writing: Editing, Homework Help, and Feedback
4th session
Need help with your English homework? Don’t know how to craft an attention-grabbing hook? Confused by complicated essay structures? Unsure what words to choose?
This course is taught an honors senior who is Co-Editor-in-Chief and Opinions Editor of the school newspaper and scored an 800 on SAT Reading & Writing and a 5 in AP Lang.
In this course, I offer either writing help or general English help.
In my writing lessons, each student will be individually coached as I proofread writing or look at assignments and identify areas in need of improvement. Whether it be reading assignments, essays, articles, stories, or speeches, this course is designed to help you improve your writing through constructive feedback and thorough editing. Come to each session with a piece of writing—finished or unfinished—and we will review it together. I will offer constructive criticism on how to improve the piece and your writing as a whole, then edit it to your liking.
In my homework help sessions, each student will be individually coached as I walk you through English assignments and guide you on how to complete them to the best quality. I can help you brainstorm ideas, explain complicated instructions or reading passages, and edit your work to check for errors.
Important note: These lessons are meant to be individually tailored (I can also work with small groups if you have a friend/peer with whom you are doing an assignment, or if you’d just like to be with a friend). To schedule a lesson, please DM me through Schoolhouse and let me know what you’d like to work on so we can set a date. Thank you!

AP English Language Course Companion
4th session
AP Lang can be tough with the amount of concepts you need to learn! I remember being super overwhelmed at the beginning of the year, and I would have loved to have had extra support. I got a 5 on my AP exam, but I couldn't have done it without tutoring, so I wanted to help others who are worried about taking the course or just want to increase their knowledge. I will be using the College Board curriculum as well as resources my teacher used and extra things I did myself when studying! This course will go throughout the school year.
Here is what we will be learning:
1. Rhetorical Situation: Reading
Explain how writers’ choices reflect the components of the rhetorical situation.
2. Rhetorical Situation: Writing
Make strategic choices in a text to address a rhetorical situation.
3. Claims and Evidence: Reading
Identify and describe the claims and evidence of an argument.
4. Claims and Evidence: Writing
Analyze and select evidence to develop and refine a claim.
5. Reasoning and Organization: Reading
Describe the reasoning, organization, and development of an argument.
6. Reasoning and Organization: Writing
Use organization and commentary to illuminate the line of reasoning in an argument.
7. Style: Reading
Explain how writers’ stylistic choices contribute to the purpose of an argument.
8. Style: Writing
Select words and use elements of composition to advance an argument.
I will also go over anything complicated that I struggled with or that you guys need assistance with! I'll also do reviews when test day gets close :)
I'm excited to get to know you and help you ace your AP Lang test!

AP Lang Writing Crash Course
7th session
Taking AP Lang this year? Have no fear! (and make sure you notice that that rhymes).
In this crash course, we'll cover the three types of essays you'll have to write for the AP Lang exam. We'll spend two sessions on each essay (and add extra sessions based on how much extra time we need).
In each introductory session, we'll do a quick warm-up related to the essay we will cover, then I'll go through the rubric and the mechanics of how each essay works. After that, we'll look at some example essays and score them together, and then you'll be able to write your own essay as practice on your own time. In the second session for each essay, I'll provide feedback for the practice essays you wrote beforehand.
Each session will be an hour long, and I'll add additional sessions if we need more time for practice or feedback.

This six-week series is perfect for our narrative writers of all levels, whether aspiring or professional.
Through the power of the Narrative Arc, we'll learn how we can shape stories to give the reader choice. And for what could be the first time ever, we'll have the option to use the second perspective in our writing.
Make sure to come prepared with access to Google services such as Google Docs and Google Slides, as well as access to Schoolhouse Assessments (built in). That's all you need!
This series serves as the first part to the Creative Writing Sequence I will be hosting. There will be two possible paths, and several available courses.
