Philosophy private lessons (MATSEC latest syllabus)
Master MATSEC Philosophy with confidence. These small-group online lessons follow the latest syllabus and make use of past papers, sample essays, and guided discussions to help students find their footing. The focus is on key themes, common challenges, and clear strategies for tackling essay questions effectively. Each group is kept small to ensure individual attention, active participation, and space for students to develop their own voice. With regular support and practice, students grow more confident in their arguments, sharpen their thinking, and learn how to approach philosophy with structure and purpose.
Think clearly, write sharply, argue well. Philosophy doesn’t tell you what to think — it teaches you how to think. These lessons help students build the skills that matter both in exams and beyond: logical thinking, thoughtful problem-solving, confident communication, and independent analysis. Whether you’re aiming for a better grade or simply want to understand things more deeply, this is a space to ask questions, test ideas, and grow.

Adrian Camilleri is very professional. He explains with clear and useful examples that help you understand the subject well. Thanks to the way he teaches, I began to love philosophy — it stopped being just a school subject and became something I understand and appreciate.
Over the course of the year of private lessons, we did a lot of practical exercises that were a great help for the exam. We even finished the syllabus early so that we could do a thorough revision.
I recommend Adrian to any philosophy student who’s struggling with the subject — he will really help you understand and succeed.
Maltese original:
Adrian Camilleri huwa għalliem professjonali ħafna. Jispjega b’eżempji ċari u utli li jgħinuk tifhem sew is-suġġett. Grazzi għall-mod kif jgħallem, bdejt inħobb il-filosofija u ma baqax biss suġġett tal-iskola imma sar wieħed li nifhem u napprezza.
Matul is-sena ta’ lezzjonijiet privati, għamilna ħafna eżerċizzji prattiċi li kienu ta’ għajnuna kbira fl-eżami. Saħansitra spiċċajna s-sillabu minn qabel biex setgħet issir reviżjoni komprensiva.
Nirrakkomanda lil Adrian lil kull student tal-Filosofija li għandu diffikultà f’dan is-suġġett, se jgħinek tassew tifhem u tirnexxi.

Adrian is a fantastic philosophy teacher when it comes to both going into understanding important details and points based around the subject, as well as the efficiency and punctuality of his teaching and lectures that lead to me getting my philosophy IM exam, would highly recommend him as a private tutor.

It was a pleasure learning from Mr Adrian! Through the pandemic, he immediately switched our lessons online and made sure they were held normally. The lessons were clearly taught, explained in depth, and he made sure we were kept motivated. He managed to give us individual attention and made certain that everyone understood the concepts discussed. As an A-level student of philosophy, I managed to get a good grade for university immediately, in the first session! I would definitely recommend going to Mr Adrian to whoever is considering taking up philosophy private lessons!

“I am an ex-student of Mr. Adrian Camilleri. I took the Philosophy Intermediate exam in May 2019.
He was an excellent teacher and he taught me for only a few months. I wasn’t particularly studious and despite the generic format of the Philosophy exam he made it fascinating and still managed to cover everything in the syllabus.
I wouldn’t have been able to succeed without his help. If anyone is struggling with Philosophy and doesn’t feel confident about the subject, I wouldn’t recommend anyone other than him.
Most teachers and lecturers tend to treat their role in society as nothing other than a job. Very few teachers are like Mr Camilleri, that care for the students and do everything they can to help them and build rapport with them. He went over and above his role to help me when I was in a difficult situation. I’m glad I was given the opportunity to write this testimonial as I never properly thanked him for everything he did for me.”

Adrian Camilleri was a fantastic teacher during my experience of learning the Philosophy Intermediate syllabus in the summer of 2019. I managed to cover the entire course from start to finish within that summer, and the results I achieved are primarily attributed to the teacher’s well-planned lessons and effective homework assignments.

Mr. Camilleri was one of the best teachers that I have ever had. One can clearly see that he is very passionate and enthusiastic about teaching philosophy. The lessons were always engaging and interactive. Thanks to him, I now have a better understanding of ethical issues and my own position on them. He also taught me how to construct a stronger argument and support it with facts.
He was able to cover all the necessary material for the MATSEC exam in less than a year, giving me ample time to review, practice questions, and address any queries I had. Moreover, he willingly accepted a piece of work that I sent him just one day before the exam, promptly correcting it and providing feedback.
Considering the tight timeline I had to meet for the exam, Mr. Camilleri adapted his teaching methods effectively, ensuring that I could grasp and comprehend philosophy better. Thanks to his guidance, I not only acquired a deeper knowledge but also achieved a good grade.”
