Saul Nassau runs Seminar Schools. Fifteen years teaching English, philosophy, and IB Theory of Knowledge across six countries, an MA in Philosophy from the European Graduate School, and a PhD in Education underway.

Every class runs as a Harkness-style inquiry seminar. Students arrive having read. The session moves through claims, counterclaims, and implications rather than lecture, and the techniques that shape it are drawn from the cognitive science on how learning actually sticks. Generative difficulty. Spaced practice. Interleaving. Sentence stems when a new form is being learned, and gradual release once it is.

The journal and the Agora extend the same logic outward. Sustained attention on a difficult text, held in company with other prepared readers, reaches a different order of understanding than reading the same text alone. Both are free so the room can stay large and the threshold low.
