“Thomas is a fantastic teacher! One of the best teachers I’ve ever had at LSE. He really wants you to understand the content.”
“Thomas is an inspiring lecturer. As a policymaker myself, his lectures have left great positive influences to my policy-making paradigm. His business ethics arguments are valuable for my future policy deliberation. Thank you Thomas!”
“Thomas is an amazing teacher! You can tell that he's really engaged and knowledgable in his subject and he can translate this to the students. I love attending classes, they are interactive and chill at the same time. One of my favorite courses this year!”
“I enjoyed these classes and find them one of the best structured, well prepared and organised, very helpful for a better understanding of ethics. I highly appreciate efforts Thomas contributed to making complex concepts interesting and practically applicable.”
“Thomas is an amazing teacher. He always takes his time to clarify points, provide extensive feedback on our essays and makes everyone feel involved. I really like his style of teaching.”
“Brings philosophical issues to bear on real world issues, which is brilliant. The case studies help open students' eyes to the ways in which philosophy is relevant outside academia.”
“Thomas provides very detailed, informative and motivative feedback on formative essay. The quality of feedback is one of the best that I have received so far throughout my course of Master degree. Thank you very much Thomas!”
