About
Learning effective study strategies and academic skills can be challenging. Let's work together to develop your study skills, keep you on track with your schoolwork, and help you to achieve your learning objectives. My role is to guide you in problem solving so you can connect the material you are learning to the tasks you need to complete to be successful.
I specialize in academic coaching, exam preparation, research methods, and academic writing. Many students have worked with me to be successful in courses as varied as psychology, sociology, anthropology, gender studies, marketing, business, and counselling.
My focus is on connecting theory to methods and helping you develop the skills you need to implement those methods so you can achieve your objectives. I work primarily with undergraduate and graduate students, many of whom have accessibility accommodations.
I invite you contact me if you are looking for academic coaching, support in a course, or if you are seeking guidance with a capstone or thesis project. Reach out to me today if you want to deepen your understanding of literature review, research paper writing, theorizing and hypothesis development, experimental design, survey methodology, questionnaire development, or data analysis.
I am an Adjunct Professor at University of Alberta School of Business and a Contract Lecturer at Lakehead University. I have a Ph.D. in Marketing and an Honors Degree in Psychology. My research publications have appeared in Journal of Marketing Research, Consumer Psychology Review, Behavior Research Methods, and Methodological Innovations. I teach courses such as Marketing Research and Marketing Management. I have also tutored statistics and calculus and served as a teaching assistant in a wide range of psychology and marketing courses. In addition, I have supervised and mentored undergraduate and graduate students in their marketing and psychology research projects.

Statistics
Rory is patient and has an extensive understanding of statistics. Can convey significant concepts in a simplified and synthesized way. My limited, at best, knowledge of statistics will surely improve with his help.
