Bio

I'm a college professor with a Doctorate in Business, but I didn't start there. My journey began in a biology lab, dissecting specimens and learning to think with scientific precision. I even attended medical school before realizing my true passion wasn't practicing medicine, it was teaching. That unusual path matters because when you're stuck on a difficult concept, I don't just repeat the textbook louder. I use science-based methods to break down essays, financial analyses, and...

I'm a college professor with a Doctorate in Business, but I didn't start there. My journey began in a biology lab, dissecting specimens and learning to think with scientific precision. I even attended medical school before realizing my true passion wasn't practicing medicine, it was teaching. That unusual path matters because when you're stuck on a difficult concept, I don't just repeat the textbook louder. I use science-based methods to break down essays, financial analyses, and dissertations into pieces that actually make sense. I approach every topic by finding new ways to explain it, and together, we'll discover the approach that works best for you, whether that means drawing diagrams, telling stories, or connecting abstract theories to real life. My favorite part of this work is the moment when a difficult concept finally clicks--when I see that light in your eyes and know you've truly understood something that once felt impossible. If you've re-read a chapter four times and still feel lost, you aren't the problem. The explanation is. I'll give you a new one.

I work with many different kinds of students, and I genuinely love them all. I help the first-year undergrad facing their very first college essay by teaching structure, not just grammar. I guide the overwhelmed MBA candidate drowning in finance problems and case studies by turning intimidating numbers into compelling stories. I support the non-traditional adult learner returning to school after years away and approaching every session with patience, flexibility, and a commitment to starting exactly where you are. And I walk alongside your research if you're stuck on methodology or dissertation structure. I've guided doctoral students through that maze, from proposal to defense. Beyond grades, I also offer career clarity. With my Senior SHRM certification, I've sat on actual hiring committees, so I know what employers are really looking for. I can review your resume, your cover letter, or even help you choose a major that fits your unique strengths.

Approved Subjects

Business

Business

I hold a Doctorate in Business with a specialization in Strategic Management, and I've taught Strategic analysis, Management, Human Resources, Finance and Marketing at the university level for years. My approach bridges rigorous academic theory with real-world application—I've helped undergraduate, MBA, and doctoral candidates deconstruct case studies, craft strategic frameworks (Porter's Five Forces, SWOT, PESTEL, and beyond), and articulate complex arguments with clarity. Whether you're analyzing a Fortune 500 company or building a capstone strategy project, I'll guide you to think like a strategist, not just memorize a textbook.
Career Development

Career Development

I hold a Senior SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management) certification and have sat on actual hiring committees, giving me insider knowledge of what employers actually look for—beyond the buzzwords on your resume. I help students and professionals at every stage: clarifying which major or career path fits your unique strengths, crafting resumes and cover letters that survive the 6-second screening, and preparing for interviews with behavioral and case-based questions that actually get asked. Unlike generic career coaches, I combine this HR expertise with my Business PhD and years of university teaching, so I understand both the academic rigor you're navigating and the professional world you're trying to enter. I only offer career advice when you ask for it—and when you do, I treat your goals with the same strategic, personalized approach I bring to every student.
English

English

I bring a unique background to English tutoring: a Business PhD and university professor who has taught writing across disciplines—from freshman composition to MBA-level business communication—combined with an undergraduate degree in biology and time in medical school that taught me to think with precision, logic, and structure. I help students at every level master the art of effective writing: essay structure and thesis development, argumentation and rhetorical strategy, research paper organization, grammar and style, and professional communication (memos, reports, presentations). Whether you're a first-year undergrad staring at a blank page, an adult learner returning to school after years away, or an MBA candidate needing to write persuasively for case studies and executive summaries, I'll meet you where you are. My favorite part of this work is the 'click' moment when a student finally understands how to structure an argument or craft a compelling sentence. Writing isn't just about grammar—it's about clarity, persuasion, and thinking. I'll help you develop all three.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I bring a uniquely analytical approach to essay writing that most tutors can't match: a Business PhD and university professor who has graded thousands of essays across disciplines, combined with an undergraduate degree in biology and time in medical school that taught me to think with precision, logic, and structure. I help students at every level master the complete essay writing process—from brainstorming and thesis development to outlining, drafting, revising, and final proofreading. Whether you're a first-year undergrad terrified of your first college essay, an adult learner returning to school after years away, an MBA candidate writing case analyses and executive summaries, or a doctoral student crafting a dissertation chapter, I'll meet you where you are and build your skills step by step. I specialize in argumentation and rhetorical strategy—teaching you how to craft a compelling thesis, support it with evidence, anticipate counterarguments, and write with clarity and persuasiveness that professors actually reward. I also cover citation styles (MLA, APA), research integration, and style/grammar refinement, so your final submission is polished and professional. Writing isn't just about getting a grade—it's about learning to think clearly and communicate effectively. I'll help you develop both.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

I hold a Senior SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management) certification and have served on actual hiring committees across multiple industries, so I don't just teach you generic 'tell me about yourself' scripts—I give you insider knowledge of how interviews are actually evaluated, from the screening call to the final panel. I specialize in behavioral interviews (STAR method), case-based interviews common in consulting and finance, and even the subtle 'fit' questions that trip up otherwise qualified candidates. I also teach you how to strategically leverage AI tools (like ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini) to research companies, practice mock interviews, and refine your responses—without sounding like a robot or crossing ethical lines. Whether you're a college student prepping for your first internship, an MBA candidate targeting a Fortune 500 company, or a career-changer pivoting to a new field, I'll help you craft authentic, memorable responses that showcase your unique strengths. We'll also tackle research, questions to ask, and follow-up strategy—because landing the job is about strategy, not just luck.
Literature

Literature

I bring a lifetime of reading—literally thousands of books across genres, eras, and cultures—to every literature tutoring session, giving me a breadth of reference that most tutors simply can't match. From the Greeks and Shakespeare to the Brontës and Dickens, from modernist masters like Woolf and Joyce to postcolonial voices like Achebe and Rushdie, from American greats like Morrison and Faulkner to contemporary literary fiction and genre-defying works—I've read deeply and widely, and I bring that entire library to our conversations. I help students at every level master close reading, thematic analysis, character development, symbolism and motif, narrative structure, and historical/cultural context. I also teach students how to write about literature with sophistication—crafting literary arguments that go beyond summary and into genuine interpretation that professors reward. My background isn't just in the humanities—I hold a Business PhD, an undergraduate degree in biology, and I attended medical school, which means I read literature with the precision of a scientist, the strategic eye of a business thinker, and the empathy of someone who has studied human motivation and behavior across disciplines.
Marketing

Marketing

I bring a rare combination to marketing tutoring: a Business PhD with years of university teaching experience and the real-world scars of running a successful insurance agency where I've had to execute marketing strategy, manage budgets, acquire customers, and compete in a crowded market. I teach marketing at every level—from undergraduate fundamentals (the 4 Ps, consumer behavior, branding) to advanced MBA-level topics (segmentation, targeting, positioning, digital analytics, and integrated campaigns)—but I always ground theory in practical, actionable examples drawn from my own agency experience. I also integrate AI tools for market research, customer profiling, and campaign optimization, showing students how to work smarter without losing the strategic thinking that professors and employers actually grade on. Whether you're writing a marketing case study, building a campaign for a capstone project, or just trying to understand why some brands win and others fade, I'll help you see marketing as both a science and an art—because I've lived both sides.
MBA

MBA

I hold a Business PhD with a specialization in Strategic Management and have taught MBA-level courses for years—so I know exactly what professors expect, how case studies are graded, and where even the brightest students hit walls. I specialize in the core MBA curriculum: finance and managerial accounting, strategic management (Porter's Five Forces, competitive dynamics, corporate governance), marketing strategy (segmentation, branding, campaign development), and operations/supply chain fundamentals. But I don't just teach theory—I run a successful insurance agency, so I bring real-world P&L experience to every case study and financial model we tackle, showing you how concepts actually play out in business. Beyond coursework, I leverage my Senior SHRM certification and hiring-committee experience to offer career strategy: resume reviews, interview prep (behavioral and case-based), and salary negotiation guidance—because I know that for most MBA students, the degree is ultimately about the next career move. Whether you're drowning in a finance problem set, preparing for a capstone presentation, or targeting a new position, I'll help you work smarter, not harder, and build skills that last long after graduation.
Thesis Writing

Thesis Writing

I hold a research-intensive Business PhD and have guided dozens of doctoral candidates through the dissertation process—from the initial proposal to the final defense—giving me insider knowledge of what committees actually look for and where even the brightest candidates get stuck. I specialize in helping students at every stage of the dissertation journey: choosing a researchable topic and crafting a compelling proposal, designing a defensible methodology (qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-methods), conducting literature reviews that actually frame your contribution, analyzing data and interpreting findings, and writing with the clarity and academic rigor that impresses committees. My background is uniquely interdisciplinary—I hold a Business PhD, an undergraduate degree in biology, and I attended medical school—which means I understand both the scientific precision required for empirical research and the narrative coherence needed for humanities-oriented dissertations. I also teach candidates how to ethically leverage tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Zotero, and research-specific platforms) to accelerate literature reviews, organize citations, refine arguments, and overcome writer's block—while maintaining the academic integrity that your committee and institution demand. Beyond the mechanics, I understand the emotional and psychological challenges of doctoral work: the isolation, the imposter syndrome, the endless revisions. I approach every candidate with patience, encouragement, and a strategic roadmap to keep you moving forward, even when it feels impossible. Whether you're stuck on chapter one, drowning in data, or preparing for your defense, I'll help you cross the finish line with confidence and a dissertation you're genuinely proud of.
