A Global Authority in Economic Education
Education City Economics was founded by a scholar-practitioner with a proven track record of elevating student performance across the globe. Having personally mentored over 50 students spanning the three continents of North America, Europe and Asia, and countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Italy, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, I bring a truly international perspective to the Doha academic landscape. My experience covers the entire academic spectrum—from helping undergraduate students master fundamental principles to guiding Master’s candidates through complex econometrics and thesis-level research.
A Legacy of Institutional Leadership
My teaching expertise is grounded in high-level research and academic administration. I previously served as the Project Leader and Focal Person for the Socio-Economic Research and Data Analytics Center (SERDAC) at Bicol University, where I spearheaded strategic research training initiatives. My role as a co-host for international conferences, such as the ICEE-SEAN, has allowed me to stay at the forefront of global economic pedagogy, ensuring my students receive instruction that is both modern and authoritative.
Your Strategic Partner for Distinction
Currently pursuing a PhD in Agricultural Economics, I combine advanced theoretical knowledge with a practical, results-driven coaching style. I specialize in the "Math-Gap" issues that often hinder success in Education City’s most demanding courses. By leveraging a strategic time-zone advantage from the Philippines, I offer "Prime-Time" support during peak study hours in Qatar, providing a dedicated, world-class academic partnership focused on one goal: your success.
