About Me
My interest and experience in anthropology span 30 years. I have advanced degrees in both anthropology and archaeology, and I have done research fieldwork in Peru, Brazil, Mexico, Belize and the USA. My PhD at the London School of Economics and my peer-reviewed publications were based on my ethnographic fieldwork in Brazil on urban religious movements.
My PhD and most of my lecturing work took place at one of the word’s top-rated anthropology departments, The London School of Economics. While there I was able to listen, participate in, and influence academic discussions of the highest level. I was also tasked with shepherding new, young undergraduates through their first years of studying what is both a challenging and fascinating field.
I speak Spanish, Portuguese and Italian fluently. I love anthropology because of the way it helps us to see the world through the eyes of other people in radically different life situations. It is a powerful tool for overcoming cultural divisions, and I love to help young people learn more about it.
Tutor Experience
I have lectured at three universities in the UK - the London School of Economics, Kings College London and Brunel University. I have also been the persona tutor for around 100 first and second-year undergraduates. At Kings I taught a basic introduction course to anthropology and the anthropological approach to studying religion. At Brunel I taught undergraduates and masters students about how anthropologists have approached some classical life topics - marriage, death, childhood and work. Finally at LSE I taught a specialist course to third-year undergraduates on the anthropology of religion.
As a tutor at LSE I guided first and send-year undergraduates in their coursework, I advised them on essay writing, and helped them plan their future academic progress. Prior to that I taught and tutored undergraduates as a Graduate Teaching Assistant for two courses at the LSE, and for three courses at the University of California Santa Barbara.
In my approach to teaching I take every student seriously as an intelligent and independent thinker. I have found in my career that when students feel respected they are more likely to be curious, to listen, and to learn.

George was extremely knowledgable and passionate on both disciplines of Anthropology and Sociology. He provided immense help and support for my personal statement. He was very interactive throughout the lesson and his feedback was very helpful. Lastly, he was very flexible in the scheduling of lessons and responsive to messages. Highly recommended!
