In my view, philosophy is a deeply communal activity and teaching is where this most naturally shows.
At the University of Cambridge, I teach the following undergraduate modules:
​​
-
First Year: Metaphyiscs.
-
First Year: History of Philosophy (syllabus, revision questions),
-
Second Year: Epistemology.
-
Third Year: Philosophy of Mind (syllabus).
-
Third Year: Wittgenstein, Anscombe, Austin (syllabus).
-
Third Year: Philosophy of Science (Psychiatry and Economics).
In Lent Term 2024, I also gave a lecture series on the epistemology of the mind (first-person indexicals, self-knowledge and knowledge of other minds).
​
During my undergraduate degree at the University of Zurich I had the opportunity to teach numerous tutorials, including formal logic and Wittgenstein. Also, with Glenn Anderau I co-designed a course titled "The Philosophy of Everyday Life" (syllabus in German).
​
I try to create an environment in which students can attain a thorough understanding of a text or thought. The moment in which a student understands something they initially thought of as incredibly complex, is an amazing thing to experience. I strive to establish a non-hierarchical and inclusive atmosphere where every participant feels comfortable to speak.

Some student feedback:
"Our supervisions are very interactive. I felt really engaged because you consistently asked me questions to prompt and guide my thinking. I felt like my ideas were heard and considered. It wasn’t a one-sided, lecture style teaching, but much more of a give and take."
"I found that in our supervisions you were always very interested in what point I was trying to make in my essay; after I’d clarified any misconceptions or unclear points, you then seemed to revise how you thought about the essay and looked at how you could understand it better. This made it feel as though we were working through the problems together."
