As an elite social science tutor, I offer unparalleled mentorship to students navigating the complexities of university-level research and writing. My background is unique: I am a PhD-level anthropologist. I was mentored by legendary theorists like Marvin Harris and field methodologists like H. Russell Bernard, taught myself for four years at the University level, and my work has been trusted by a recent Nobel Prize winner in Economics. My book, Travesty in Haiti, was required reading for all U.S. State Department officials assigned to Haiti for a decade, a testament to the quality and impact of my analysis.

With over 30 years of on-the-ground experience managing research teams, writing and editing reports, and mentoring young researchers in countries like Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Kenya, and Afghanistan, I bring a level of real-world expertise that is rare in academia. I have designed and executed over 100 major statistical surveys and 1,000s of focus groups for the world's leading organizations, including virtually all UN agencies (WFP, FAO, UNICEF, etc.), USAID, the World Bank, and top universities like Harvard, Columbia. And LSE. This has given me mastery in every phase of the research process: from innovative methodological design and ODK questionnaire programming to rigorous causal analysis of statistical data and the creation of compelling final reports and presentations.

Whether you are struggling to structure your thesis, design a research project, analyze your data, or write a dissertation that makes an impact, I can help. In addition to my extensive experience teaching and working professionally, I have personally rewritten over eight doctoral dissertations, guiding students from initial concept to final, successful submission. Let's work together to transform your academic challenges into triumphs.
