My Passion & How I Inspire

I have always been interested in politics and international relations, but my passion really started when I got to do research and study politics "on the ground". I was in charge of doing reports on the politics and economy of countries all over the world, and this led me to do an MA in International Studies. By pursuing a PhD I was able to combine two things I liked the most: research and teaching! I try to inspire my students by bringing real life examples and contemporary political affairs to class. This way theory becomes more concrete and the subject becomes more interesting!

My Experience

I have been teaching political science at a University, more specifically Democracy and Democratisation. Before this, I tutored for more than 5 years in my home country. This included private lessons as well as groups lessons.

Subjects That I Teach

  • International Relations
  • Science

My Qualifications

PhD at London School of Economics - passed with no corrections

MA International Studies and Diplomacy at SOAS, with distinction

BA in Linguistics and Law - average grade: 8

Fun fact

I have lived in more than 10 different countries, off a suitcase, for over 7 years!
