Teaching and Mentorship in Research Methodology and Strategic Thinking
Instituto Europeo De Salud Y Bienestar Social — Educator
As part of the academic team at Instituto Europeo, I was invited to teach and mentor students in postgraduate programs — focusing on research design, data strategy, and applied methodology.
Graduate students — particularly in health, communication, and management fields — often lacked hands-on, structured training in research design, data-driven thinking, and critical analysis.
The opportunity was to bridge this gap through applied teaching, individualized mentorship, and curriculum development anchored in real-world use cases.
- Designed and delivered workshops and lecture series on research methods, quantitative reasoning, and applied analysis using real project frameworks.
- Mentored undergraduate and master’s students across thesis projects — guiding topic design, research execution, and presentation.
- Provided feedback on methodology, ethics, survey design, and data interpretation across disciplines.
- Acted as an academic reference point and workshop lead for students from both domestic and international programs.
- Supported program credibility by embedding industry practices into academic teaching.
- Helped students successfully complete and defend theses in diverse fields including health, marketing, and education.
- Elevated student research quality through critical feedback and iterative support.
- Strengthened the program’s applied research focus, improving student preparedness for post-graduate careers.
- Became a trusted mentor and advisor across multiple academic cohorts.
