About Jesko

Hello, my name is Jesko. (The name is Slavic, but I'm a German with creative parents.) I'm currently completing a research degree, and due to begin a DPhil, in Political Philosophy at Oxford. I also have a Master's degree, with distinction, from the London School of Economics.

I have three years of experience teaching academic writing, philosophy, and politics at university level, working with undergraduates at Hamburg University, Germany, and Smith College, Massachusetts.

I would be thrilled to help you get into, or graduate well from, a competitive university. I would also love to read the philosophical canon with you, from Plato to Marx; and I can help you improve your academic writing.

I aim to challenge my students while providing an encouraging and patient environment.

About the lesson

My lessons are best suited to two main groups.

The first group are motivated students at A-level or undergraduate level working in the humanities and social sciences. I can significantly increase your chances of getting into a competitive university by helping you with your application material and interview training—having successfully applied to both Oxford and the LSE at Master's and PhD level myself. I am also more than happy to help with dissertations or coursework, and can help you graduate with distinction.

The second group are people independently interested in philosophy. I am well-versed in the history of philosophy and would love to read the classic works with you, from Plato to Nietzsche to Marx. We work through texts closely together, and I can provide historical context and links to contemporary interpretations, so that little prior knowledge is required. As I am a native German speaker, I can also help you understand texts by Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, or Marx in their original form.

I am especially happy to work with international students, having studied and taught across German, US, and UK institutions.

A typical session runs 45–60 minutes and centres on (a) a piece of writing you have prepared, or (b) a philosophical text we have read in advance.
