Philosophy lecturer King's College London, teaching philosophy including: metaphysics, epistemology, logic, philosophy of mind and ethics

My experience with Hugo’s teaching extends back to my philosophy seminars at King’s College London. Given its prestige you would expect those most passionate about teaching and the subject, and Hugo certainly reflected that.

Coming into seminars as an Undergraduate, I think it’s common for students to be anxious about engaging with discussion, though Hugo’s ease and rapport with the class immediately negated those feelings.

More importantly, however, Hugo’s excitement and passion for the subject really showed, which I think is incredibly important in generating your own excitement for learning and engaging with your chosen degree.

Even outside of class, in office hours, I found Hugo to be attentive, taking the extra step that some wouldn’t to really ensure you understand the content explored in class.

I would recommend Hugo’s teaching to anyone studying Philosophy!

Hugo was my tutor for advanced philosophy of mind module at KCL. I cannot recomment Hugo highly enough. He was extremely helpful, dedicated and went above and beyond for his students. He would host weekly office hours and would give me tailored support, to which I achieved a first in his module. Honestly, an amazing teacher.

I have had the pleasure of attending Hugo’s Philosophy of Language seminars this year. He has been the most pedagogical, attentive and adaptable tutor I have ever encountered. I then audited another of his subjects, largely because I trusted that his teaching would make the work required less burdensome, more comprehensible. He has always passionately engaged with topics we brought up, or additional questions, and even followed up on them afterwards: there was a consistent queue in his office hours. The classes’ climate was respectful and kind, reflecting how he acted as a tutor. I can only highly recommend Hugo in any teaching position.

Hugo was a tutor during my undergraduate degree, he was one of the most genuinely knowledgeable people I met during my time at university. He was exceptionally helpful in his teaching and made difficult concepts easier to grasp. I could not recommend him more.

Hugo was my seminar leader for Logic, and the man has an ungodly amount of patience—even for the academically dubious. No matter the issue, he’d a way to make it click, and his tangents into adjacent topics were always fun.
