I am currently a doctoral student at the University of Debrecen. I am very much willing to mentor prospective students in the field of academic writing. As a professor for twelve years in a major Philippine university in Manila, I specialize in the area of research, particularly qualitative research. I also edited theses and dissertations of graduate students for many years. As a researcher and writer in the field of the Social Sciences, I already published two Scopus-indexed articles in a Q2 journal (another is currently under peer review in a Q1 journal) and a chapter in an edited book. I also wrote and edited a coffee table book for a Manila-based fashion designer. Given my experience in the field and a passion for teaching, it would be a pleasure to coach students who would like to publish in a reputable journal publication or to learn the rudiments of academic writing in any of the following topics: Essentials of research writing Writing a research plan Academic writing strategies Plagiarism and APA citation Academic essays Rhetorical devices
