Profile
My name is Michael Paskaru. I am a part-time Professor at Humber College applying for PhD positions in Philosophy and Education. I hold a Master's in Philosophy of Mind and Psychology from Tilburg University and a Bachelor's with honors in Psychology from York University. Originally from Tel Aviv, I moved to Canada at age two and currently live in Vaughan. Fluent in Russian and knowledgeable in Hebrew, I have been passionate about philosophy since age 20, particularly influenced by Schopenhauer, Kant, Plato, and contemporary scholars like Fodor. I'm providing tutoring for students aged 8-17 (parental permission required), and students of all ages, adjusting my rates based on the student's potential and financial situation.
