I am a political science lecturer and researcher with two degrees from Columbia University and extensive experience teaching at the university level. My academic work centers on authoritarianism, democratic backsliding, disinformation, and Middle East politics. I have taught undergraduate and graduate-level courses in comparative politics, international relations, political theory, and contemporary global issues.

In addition to my academic teaching, I’ve contributed on-air analysis for major media outlets and published research and commentary in The Washington Post, Index on Censorship, The Daily Beast, TRT World, and others. I also collaborate regularly with think tanks, international forums, and NGOs.

My Approach

I tailor each session to the student’s goals, academic level, and learning style. Whether you’re seeking support for coursework, developing a research project, preparing for a competitive application, or strengthening your public speaking and argumentation skills, I offer individualized guidance rooted in both academic expertise and real-world experience. My aim is to equip students with the tools to think critically, write clearly, and speak with confidence, both in the classroom and beyond.

Approved Subjects

Debate

Debate

I earned both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Columbia University, where I actively participated in academic and competitive debate. In addition to my role as a university-level political science professor, I am a regular on-air contributor, engaging in live political debate and analysis for major U.S. and international media outlets. My experience bridges academic theory and real-time argumentation, offering a unique perspective on persuasive communication, critical thinking, and public discourse.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I hold both undergraduate and graduate degrees from Columbia University and currently teach political science at the university level. My academic background is complemented by extensive experience in public speaking, both in professional settings and live media environments. I work with students to strengthen vocal delivery, argument structure, and presence, whether for academic presentations, public events, or professional interviews.
