Experience
I have five years of experience of mentoring teaching and tutoring wide range of students, including international students with English as a second language, mature students and students with learning disabilities.
I have extensive experience in improving students' academic writing, research methods, project management, and dissertation writing in any social science related area. Furthermore, I have developed and taught university courses in academic writing and dissertation development, social science research methods, Human Rights and Peace and conflict studies.
Training people from very different social and cultural backgrounds is challenging and rewarding, and I have developed very good skills in conveying information and getting feedback in different ways in order to promote common understanding.
