Description

Want to use research to create real change—whether in your career, community, or academic work?
In this course, you’ll learn the practical, adaptable skills of qualitative research, from design to data collection to analysis. These skills are essential in the social sciences, but they’re also highly valued in education, business, public health, NGOs, and community development.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Identify a focused research question that addresses real-world challenges.

  • Choose the right qualitative approach for your goals—ethnography, case study, interviews, focus groups, or observation.

  • Collect high-quality data that reveals how people think, act, and make decisions.

  • Use theory and frameworks to guide your analysis and recommendations.

  • Present your findings clearly and persuasively for different audiences.

Who it’s for:

  • University students in the social sciences, humanities, and STEM fields.

  • Professionals in education, business, health, or community work.

  • NGO staff, policy makers, and civic leaders looking to strengthen their decision-making with field-based insights.

Flexible format:
This can be a one-time consultation to solve a specific problem—or an ongoing mentorship to guide your entire project, from idea to final presentation.

Your mentor:

Ph.D. in Anthropology, M.A. from Yale University, Director of the Isla Mujeres Ethnographic Field School. I’ve trained nearly 100 researchers and advised students and professionals around the world on projects that make an impact.

This 50-minute session can be booked as:

  • A one-time consultation to address specific questions or challenges

  • Part of a long-term mentorship, where I serve as your academic guide, helping you stay on track and meet your educational goals

My approach is practical, adaptable, and student-focused, tailored to your subject area—whether you’re in social sciences, humanities, cultural studies, or interdisciplinary research. I specialize in qualitative research, ethnographic methods, and academic mentoring for projects ranging from high school assignments to university theses. Over multiple sessions, I can help you design, execute, and refine your research, providing continuous feedback so you gain both academic skills and confidence.

 

I hold a Ph.D. in Cultural Anthropology, an M.A. from Yale University, and have trained nearly 100 researchers in the field. I’ve advised IB Extended Essay students, university undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals in understanding human behavior, culture, and cross-cultural communication.

 

Bring your questions. Bring your ideas. Let’s work through them together—step-by-step—so your work is clear, credible, and ready for academic success.
