I was selected by the head of the department of Economics in the yearly Class Teacher Awards. The statement of support refers:

"This year’s nominations reflect the wide range of excellent education practice at LSE and strong commitment to teaching and support of student learning during this challenging and disrupted Covid year."

"Hugo has taught in EC100 and EC317. Hugo is a stellar class teacher who is appreciated by lecturers year after year. EC317 is a quite demanding course since the final course mark depends on class participation and it is up to the class teacher to fairly and accurately allocate those marks. It also should be mentioned that Hugo also contributes to class teaching beyond the courses he is involved with. He often participates in class teacher meetings with useful discussions."
