About Hugo

I did my PhD in Philosophy at King's College London, specialising in philosophy of language and mind. Before that I did an MPhil (i.e. a masters) at Cambridge and a BA at Southampton (both also in Philosophy); at Southampton I won awards for the highest overall marks in my cohort and highest marked dissertation. I have also spent time visiting UT Austin and the university of Lund, both funded by the KCL department.

EXPERIENCE
During my time at King's I have taught undergraduate seminars and occasional lectures in: Logic, Philosophy of Language, Philosophy of Mind, Formal methods in philosophy, Epistemology, Metaphysics.

TESTIMONIALS
Here are some things students have said about me:

"The most positive aspect was my experience in seminars. Some recognition needs to be given to Hugo Heagren. He has been by far the best teacher I have had to date at King's. He has made the work understandable but also academically challenging through always providing detailed, specific and tailored feedback."
(Feedback to module lead for introductory metaphysics)

"Hugo has been an amazing teacher. Always prioritising his students and going above and beyond during his seminars. He has provided me with tailored advice to improve my essay skills and philosophy knowledge and as someone who has never studied philosophy before, this is something I much appreciate." (Department-wide GTA award nomination)

"Hugo is a fantastic seminar leader. He is incredibly well organised and highly knowledgeable on the topics he teaches. Additionally, he is always open if you require extra help. You can really tell he is highly committed to delivering great classes." (University-wide teaching award nomination)

LOGIC
Among other areas, I teach logic. Learning and teaching logic is quite different from the rest of the philosophy, as logic is a formal topic a bit like maths. I have taught hundreds of students logic, mostly from Halbach's book "The Logic Manual". If you're having trouble with any part of the logic course, I'll be well equipped to help. We can go through past papers and questions, do practice drills about specific rules, and build up from simple foundations to whatever level you need.

One of my logic students wrote about me:

"Hugo is excellent: Friendly, engaging, explains patiently and simply, makes Logic a whole lot more approachable and tolerable (I initially thought I'd HATE it). My favourite seminar leader. Probably wouldn't attend half the seminars I do if he weren't here. "
