Common Challenges With Ethics

  • Abstract Theories and Concepts

    Ethics is a philosophically rooted subject that often involves abstract theories and complex concepts that can be difficult for students to understand. We simplify these ideas, breaking them down into digestible parts, and provide concrete examples to make them relatable and easier to comprehend.

  • Applying to Real-Life Scenarios

    Students often struggle with applying ethical theories to real-life situations. To counter this, we encourage role-playing and case study analyses, guiding students to consider different perspectives and make ethical judgments based on various theories.

  • Debates and Differing Opinions

    Ethics is a subject filled with differing viewpoints and can spark intense debates. We help students learn how to respectfully engage in these debates, developing their critical thinking and argumentation skills.

  • Evolution of Ethical Concepts

    It's essential to understand the historical context and evolution of ethical theories. We provide engaging lessons on the history of ethics and how it impacts modern ethical thought.

  • Writing Skills

    Ethics often requires essay writing, where students need to articulate their thoughts clearly and convincingly. We help students hone their writing skills, teaching them how to structure arguments effectively and use evidence to support their points.

  • Examinations and Assessments

    Ethics exams can be challenging due to their subjective nature. We help students prepare for these exams by reviewing past papers, practicing essay writing, and developing effective study strategies.

Ways We Tutor Ethics

  • Case Study Analysis

    This is a very effective way to illustrate ethical principles and theories. By using real or hypothetical situations, we help students apply theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios. They learn how to analyze situations from various ethical perspectives and make justified decisions.

  • Role-Playing

    This approach helps students get inside the minds of people facing ethical dilemmas. By assuming these roles, students can better understand the complexity of making ethical decisions and can appreciate the potential consequences of different choices.

  • Debate and Discussion

    Encouraging students to participate in debates on ethical issues fosters critical thinking and enhances communication skills. It also allows students to confront different viewpoints and develop their understanding of various ethical theories.

  • Teaching Ethics Historically

    To help students grasp the development and evolution of ethical theories, we teach Ethics from a historical perspective. This helps students understand how societal changes and philosophical advancements have influenced ethical thought.

  • Essay Writing Workshops

    Given the importance of written communication in Ethics, we offer workshops to improve essay writing skills. We focus on argument structure, evidence presentation, and counter-argument development.

  • Ethical Reflection Journals

    We encourage students to keep a journal where they can reflect on ethical issues they encounter in their daily lives or in the news. This promotes consistent engagement with ethical concepts and helps students see the relevance of what they're learning.
