"I am UJ. After completing my Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and Master's in Business Administration (M.B.A.) with specialization in Marketing and Technology, I embarked on an international career in Asia, Europe and United States.

As I learned the subjects, I thoroughly enjoyed my time sharing what I had learned, teaching and mentoring undergraduates - a diverse range of subjects related to interactive media, art, documentaries and film. The positive feedback from my students (usually a class of 20) ensured that I was continuously entrusted with teaching assignments throughout the program and even beyond. This is when I developed a passion for teaching. I completed my Master's with an 'Award for Excellence' for my work portfolio and teaching performance followed.
I now dedicate a regular amount of my time tutoring students. Apart from general subjects related to management, arts or science, I help students prepare for business related industry certifications, especially Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) and Project Management Professional (PMP) certifications offered by the Project Management Institute (PMI)" less...
