About Me

Hello! My name is Angelos Sofocleous and I have a PhD in Philosophy from the University of York. I also have an MA in Philosophy and a BA in Philosophy and Psychology from the University of Durham. My PhD research was focused on the phenomenology of depression experiences. In particular, I researched how interpersonal relationships are disrupted in experiences of depression by analysing first-person accounts of depression. I specialise in the fields of phenomenology, existentialism, and philosophy of mind. Further, my areas of interest include ancient Greek philosophy, ethics, and epistemology.

I have worked as a Graduate Teaching Assistant at the University of York and at the University of Leeds, teaching the following courses: Reason & Argument, Ethics, Ancient Philosophy, Early Modern Philosophy, Knowledge & Perception, and The Mind. I am currently a Tutor in Philosophy for the Centre for Lifelong Learning at the University of York for which I have developed and taught the following courses: Introduction to Philosophy, Existentialism and the Philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre, Stoicism, Ancient Greek Philosophy, and Current Issues in Philosophy.

For my contribution to teaching, I have received the University of York Vice-Chancellor’s Teaching Award.

I am also an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (AFHEA).

In my free time, I enjoy poetry and photography!

Tutor Experience

I have 5+ years of experience in teaching, tutoring, and marking.

From 2020 to 2023, I was a Graduate Teaching Assistant at the Department of Philosophy of the University of York. I delivered seminars in the following modules: Ethics, Ancient Philosophy, Reason & Argument, Early Modern Philosophy, and Knowledge & Perception.

In addition, in 2023, I taught a series of seminars at the School of Philosophy, Religion and History of Science of the University of Leeds, at the module The Mind.

Besides teaching, my duties and responsibilities as a Graduate Teaching Assistant included providing thorough feedback and detailed comments on students' work.

Since 2021, I have been a Tutor in Philosophy for the Centre for Lifelong Learning of the University of York, for which I developed and taught the following courses: Introduction to Philosophy, Existentialism and the Philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre, and Stoicism. I am currently developing the courses Current Issues in Philosophy and Ancient Greek Philosophy which I will be teaching at the Centre from April 2024 to June 2024.

I also have extensive experience teaching Philosophy, Psychology, and Religious Studies at the online teaching platform MyTutor, for which I have been tutoring since 2019, on GCSE, A-Level, and University levels.

In our lessons, my aim is to make you as passionate about philosophy as I am! Encouraging intellectual curiosity, promoting independent thinking, and cultivating a love for philosophical inquiry are central to my teaching philosophy. By instilling these values, I aim to equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to excel. I regularly assess student progress through a variety of means, including class participation, quizzes, and essays, providing constructive feedback to guide their development. My ultimate goal is to empower students to think critically, communicate effectively, and approach life's complexities with confidence and insight.

Topic Expertise

I specialise in teaching, tutoring, and marking Philosophy topics across all exam boards. Throughout my teaching experience, I taught modules in Ethics, Ancient Philosophy, Logic, Early Modern Philosophy, Epistemology, Stoicism, Existentialism, Philosophy of Mind, and Phenomenology, as well as particular areas within Psychology and Religious Studies.
