Certified Tutor

I am an international development professional and social science researcher with a strong academic background and experience in the field. I hold a bachelor's degree in international relations and a master's degree in Middle Eastern and North African studies. As a writer and researcher, I have authored reports and articles on refugee resettlement, migration trends, politics, labor rights in Jordan, and economic issues. In addition to my research work, I have experience tutoring university students and teaching English as a second language to K12 and adult learners in rural Morocco.

I am highly detail-oriented and enjoy helping students craft compelling essays and strengthen their writing skills. If you're looking for support with essay editing or developing your analytical skills, I would be a great fit! I also offer assistance to students preparing for exams in the social sciences, especially in subjects like history, political science, cultural studies, religious studies, and literature.

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, traveling, and trying new sports; anything that keeps me active.
