About Graciela
I am an Oxford-trained researcher and educator passionate about helping students develop strong academic and research skills. I graduated with Distinction from the University of Oxford and Summa Cum Laude from New York University, where I focused on culture, migration, and the role of institutions in shaping public knowledge.
My academic work has received multiple awards and has been supported by competitive fellowships. Alongside my research, I have several years of experience teaching, mentoring, and guiding students through complex academic projects—from first essays to full dissertations and graduate applications.
Professionally, I have worked in leading cultural and educational institutions, where I designed programmes that helped young people develop critical thinking, research, and communication skills. These experiences have shaped my teaching approach: rigorous, supportive, and tailored to each student’s goals.
I believe that academic writing is a skill that can be learned and refined with the right guidance. My goal is not only to help students improve a single assignment, but to equip them with the tools and confidence to succeed throughout their academic careers.
