University Lecturer with 6+ years teaching experience, PhD in Philosophy, offering tuition in social and political philosophy, critical theory, metaphysics, epistemology, logic and aesthetics

Plamen is a colleague and friend who I have known for a few years. He always gives insightful and constructive feedback, both in person and in writing. He has a unique way of approaching every subject, and as such philosophical conversations with Plamen are incredibly rewarding. Anyone would be lucky to have Plamen as a teacher!

I have attended several classes given by Dr. Plamen and I would strongly recommend them. I have also seen the amount of research and planning he puts behind his classes which is impeccable. Plamen's classes are highly interactive and self-reflective as he has a very patient abd calm demeanor. He encourages his students to raise questions and ponders upon it with them. Other than that, I've myself noticed that he can lecture on a wide range of topics including philosophy, critical theory, politics, literature, and psychoanalysis. On top of that, even in his capacity as a researcher he has performed some outstanding work in relation to critical theory.

Plamen is so incredibly knowledgeable on a wide verity of philosophy. He can take the place of the philosopher and retell/explain their argument so well. He uses close up reading to better understand the text & to discuss very difficult subjects to understand. I so so so so would recommend working with Plamen, especially if there are incredibly complex subjects you struggle to get your head around.

Plamen has taught me during the second year of my undergraduate studies at Essex. His module in ‘Capitalism and Its Critics’ has been by far one of the most compelling I took during my time there. His ability to deliver clear and engaging lectures on highly abstract and complex topics is commendable, and has surely furthered my interest in philosophy. As well as that, his dedication to his students is impressive, personally, I have not received more support with my projects from any other tutor so far, nor have experienced such patience in answering even what were perhaps some of the more banal questions. As a student, what I have received from Plamen far exceeds the level of informational exchange, he offered me guidance, support and inspiration and if ‘above and beyond’ were to be a person, it is safe to say he’d qualify for that.
