I am on the board of the European Chapter of the SPEE - an engineering professional society. It is a requirement to perform ethics training once per year. One of our members suggested trying to understand what Ethics really were.
Alexandra explained in very simple terms the main theoretical branches of Ethics and then started asking us revealing questions, and how the theory could apply to our situation.
I can honestly say, in a roomful of experienced engineers, we were all spellbound at Alexandra's talk. Alexandra is clearly very knowledgable but also has the ability to explain difficult concepts with a tremendous clarity.
I sincerely hope that we can continue this relationship to allow our society to properly understand what an ethical decision really is, and to allow ourselves to act in an appropriately ethical manner.

I just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU from the team on yesterday's philosophy session [for the International Women's Day event]. I think the girls and the adults really enjoyed it and it was great to see so many people contributing to the session. You were able to facilitate that large room and get everyone engaged and interested.

I had the pleasure of preparing with Alexandra for my participation in a strategy session on "The Impact of AI on the Division of Labour". This was my first experience of participating in a public debate on philosophical topics of universal scope, so it was important for me to tighten up my basic skills of participating in intellectual discussions and not to look lost. The preparation included identifying and analysing the main issues related to the impact of AI on many aspects of human, social, government, business, and ideological development in general on the horizon of 10-15 years.

We've just begun Philosophy sessions as part of Sixth Form enrichment and students have been really engaged and sharing their perspectives on various themes such as freedom, identity, happiness, achievement, fulfilment and ethics. Thank you to our new Philosophy teacher Alexandra Konoplyanik who is leading the group, we can't wait to continue debating and sharing thoughts. Esha J. said 'the host was so engaging and maintained a constant flow of interest throughout the session. I really enjoyed how she made everyone feel included and eased everyone into the conversation.'

Our 11 year old son is really enjoying his classes, discussing moral philosophy topics with Alexandra. He has developed a real interest in ethics!

My daughter has been attending philosophy classes since the summer and is very happy with both the format and the content. The meetings are held without parents, but sometimes you can accidentally overhear what they are discussing from behind the door, and I was surprised and happy to hear how my child can thoughtfully and uninhibitedly formulate and express her point of view. This skill is very useful at school - before, my daughter was rather a shy person who agreed with everyone so as not to accidentally offend anyone, and now she is more self-confident and can explain her point of view and understand someone else's. I really like how Alexandra listens to each participant and is sincerely interested in their opinion, such interest from a respected adult, I think, is very important for any child. Alexandra succeeds in wonderfully uniting children from different countries, with different cultural contexts, teaching them to reason together and hear each other. At the same time, the topics proposed by Alexandra are never boring and are truly diverse - from discussing the meaning of life to questions about whether it is permissible to pick one's nose, and whether we can know with absolute certainty that unicorns do not exist. As a result, my daughter convinced me that we cannot. Here is the power of philosophical argumentation!

I read Alexandra's lesson reports [summary of the main discussed questions and points, shared with parents after each session] with great pleasure. S. is not the most proactive participant, but she is a deeply reflective person and the main thing that she takes away from the sessions is the 'ecological' nature of communication, how good it is when you can openly agree and disagree, look at situations from different angles and change your point of view, receive support and be heard. These are very important aspects in communication for her and she gets a lot from the sessions. Thank you very much for your work, we will definitely recommend you!

I would like to thank you for the wonderful lessons, my children participate in lots of extra-curricular activities, but the way my son is looking forward to every philosophy lesson with you is unprecedented!
