About Enosh
I am currently a PhD candidate in Political Science at the Geschwister-Scholl-Institute, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich, where my thesis examines and reimagines the relationship between religion and the state in the political works of Kant, Fichte, and Hegel. Before this, I completed an MPhil in Political Thought and Intellectual History at Clare College, University of Cambridge, with a dissertation on the relationship of religion and politics in Hegel's thought, and an MA in Philosophy at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, with a thesis on the role of nature and poetry in Hölderlin's philosophy.
Across these years of study, I have worked closely and repeatedly with the core texts of German Idealism: Kant's philosophy of history and political thought, Hegel's political philosophy and aesthetics, and the broader Idealist engagement with religion, nature, and the state. This is not a passing interest but the throughline of my entire academic formation, from Delhi to Cambridge to Munich.
Teaching Hegel well requires more than familiarity with secondary commentary. It requires sustained, careful work with the primary texts themselves, attentiveness to the original German vocabulary, and the ability to situate each argument within the wider arc of post-Kantian thought. This is the standard I hold myself to, and the standard I bring to every lesson.
I take tutoring seriously as a professional commitment. I have prior teaching experience helping secondary-level students prepare for board exams in mathematics and physics, and I bring the same discipline and one-to-one attentiveness to philosophy tutoring at the university level. Lessons are prepared in advance around the specific text or exam a student is working toward, and I adapt my pace and depth to where each student genuinely is, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all syllabus. My goal is not simply to help a student pass an exam, but to leave them able to read difficult philosophy independently and with confidence.
Alongside my philosophical training, I bring a long-standing engagement with cinema, painting, and classical music, fields that intersect closely with German Idealist aesthetics and that I draw on to make abstract concepts vivid and memorable.
Whether you are encountering Hegel for the first time or returning to the Phenomenology of Spirit for a thesis defense, I bring the same rigor, patience, and respect for the difficulty of the material.

My Teaching Method
My approach starts from a conviction: difficult philosophy becomes accessible not by simplifying it, but by learning to read it slowly and dialectically, the way it demands to be read. With Hegel especially, the temptation is to rush toward "what he means" in a single sentence. I do the opposite. We sit with the text, trace how a concept negates and transforms into its opposite, and rebuild the argument from the inside rather than memorizing a summary of it.
Concretely, this means close textual work: paragraph by paragraph, sometimes sentence by sentence, with constant attention to vocabulary (Aufhebung, Geist, Sittlichkeit, the specific German terms and their translation problems) and to how each section fits into the larger architecture of the work. I also draw connections to the broader German Idealist tradition (Kant, Fichte, Schelling) so students understand what problem Hegel is actually responding to, rather than encountering him in isolation.
Where it helps, I bring in examples from outside philosophy proper: a film, a piece of music, a painting, to illustrate a dialectical structure or a historical movement in ways that make the abstract concrete. This isn't decoration; aesthetic experience was central to Hegel's own thought, so the connection is built into the material itself.
A Typical Lesson
A session usually opens with a short check-in on what was confusing in the previous reading, since that confusion is often more instructive than what seemed clear. From there, we move into close reading of the assigned text, with me posing questions rather than supplying answers first, so the student has to articulate the argument in their own words before I intervene. We then zoom out to situate the passage in context (its place in the broader work, its historical moment, its stakes for contemporary debates). The lesson ends with a synthesis exercise: the student summarizes the session's argument aloud or in writing, which often reveals exactly where the gaps remain.
What Sets Me Apart
My specialization in Hegel and German Idealism means I'm not a generalist philosophy tutor improvising on a text I half-remember. I work with the primary texts directly and can move fluidly between the technical vocabulary of the system and the broader cultural and artistic context that gives it life. My own ongoing engagement with cinema, painting, and classical music isn't a side interest I mention for color; it actively shapes how I teach concepts like dialectic, spirit, and historical development, since these are domains Hegel himself theorized extensively.
Who This Is For
These lessons suit university students working through Hegel (Phenomenology of Spirit, Science of Logic, Philosophy of Right) or German Idealism more broadly, whether for coursework, dissertation research, or exam preparation. They also work well for advanced high school students in philosophy-heavy curricula, and for independent adult learners who want serious, text-based engagement with these thinkers rather than a popularized overview. I tailor the pace and depth to the specific course or exam the student is preparing for.
