Subjects

University Tutoring

Computer science

First Year - Postgrad Programming, e-Learning, full-stack development

Programming has been a passion of mine since high school. I have always wanted to create video games that can be used to educate and engage learners. I have experience programming in several languages including Java, JS, C#, Python, PHP and more.

Linguistics

First Year - Third Year Phonology, morphology, discourse analysis

I love languages as both a learner and a teacher. I have spent many years abroad teaching English but my main fascination with Linguistics relates to how computers comprehend language.

Psychology

First Year - Third Year Clinical psychology, personality theories, psychometrics

Psychology is about observable behaviour. It's an amazing subject that can open doors to highly introspective experiences. I have a deep admiration for researchers that are trying to solve the human element in artificial intelligence.

Research Methodology

First Year - Postgrad

I am an active doctoral researcher publishing in human-computer interaction, e-learning, game design and other interdisciplinary fields within the scope of computer science, linguistics and psychology.
