About Me

My professional background is varied, with experience in fields such as IT, retail, and applied social-scientific research. More than anything, I am passionate about acquiring and sharing knowledge.

Experience

My main area of expertise is communication. I have also enjoyed teaching and applying advanced English language (e.g., business and professional writing) and sociological theory, thanks to my interdisciplinary education and training background (with a B.A. in English-Writing, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Communication, Culture, and Media, with a social-scientific emphasis).

Approach

I believe in tutoring with clarity, patience, encouragement of understanding-confirmation, and did I mention patience? Yes, but it bears repeating!
