Itai studied Philosophy and Religious Studies at Stanford University and completed an MA in Modern European Philosophy with Distinction at Kingston University, covering topics from philosophy of religion and mathematics to critical theory. He also holds the Cambridge CELTA qualification.
At Stanford, Itai was a writing tutor for the Structured Liberal Education classics programme, helping students make strong arguments, structure their writing and read key texts closely. He tutored elementary mathematics at a local school and was a Teaching Assistant on a philosophy course at the Global Center for Advanced Studies. He went on to prepare to teach philosophy in prisons and to train as a psychoanalyst.
Itai’s tutoring centres on the student, since no two have the same mix of strengths and goals. He keeps lessons engaging by bringing in students’ own interests and references to popular culture.
