Tutoring in Research Methods and Essay Writing for university students

I offer tutoring in qualitative and quantitative research methods for the Social Sciences, as well as essay and academic writing support. Drawing on my academic background and professional experience, I can assist students with:

- Learning and applying different research methods effectively
- Understanding and using SPSS for statistical analysis
- Improving essay writing and academic communication skills
- Writing, structuring, and reviewing their theses
With a Bachelor’s degree in International Relations (cum laude) from Leiden University and two Research Master’s degrees—one in Political Communication and one in Political Science—I have a strong foundation in research and academic writing. As a current Teaching Assistant at the University of Amsterdam, I have hands-on experience guiding university students in these areas. Additionally, my work as an Honours Ambassador and Information Officer at Leiden University honed my skills in supporting students at various academic levels.

Offro ripetizioni per studenti universitari sui metodi di ricerca e sulla scrittura di saggi e testi accademici. Grazie alla mia esperienza accademica e professionale, posso offrire supporto nei seguenti ambiti:

- Metodi di ricerca qualitativi e quantitativi
- Statistica e utilizzo di SPSS
- Scrittura di saggi e altri testi accademici
- Strutturazione, scrittura e revisione della tesi
Ho conseguito una laurea triennale in Relazioni Internazionali presso l'Università di Leiden (cum laude) e sto concludendo due Master di Ricerca: uno in Comunicazione Politica e uno in Scienze Politiche. Attualmente lavoro come Assistente Didattica presso l'Università di Amsterdam, dove ho acquisito esperienza diretta nell'assistenza agli studenti universitari. Inoltre, il mio ruolo come Ambasciatrice dell'Honours College e Information Officer all'Università di Leiden mi ha permesso di sviluppare competenze nel supportare studenti in vari percorsi accademici.

Reviews (1)

I worked with Francesca for improving my ancient Greek reading and I find the lessons useful and fun. She is flexible to different types of learning styles and has a structured way of tutoring. She prepares nice exercises and motivates me to achieve more in my self-study. I recommend Francesca!
I am tutoring university students and adults in English and help them prepare for any test they might have to take (for example, a university test that is required to go in exchange). Among the official English test, I am qualified to help prepare students for the IELTS test. As I am both Italian both British and I have done all of my bachelor degree in English I am qualified to teach english.
I can tutor kids and students on different academic subjects: 1) for kids in elementary and middle school I can help them doing homework in almost all subjects 2) for students of high school I can give them lessons of Italian, English and History I have been tutoring middle school and high school students for some time now and, as I like it very much, I would love to continue doing so.

Thesis supervision and support (University, HBO/WO)
Update November 1st 2024: Currently no availability; you can contact me to be put on the waiting list. Usually there becomes a spot available within 3 months. During my studies in Econometrics at the University of Amsterdam (graduated in 2015, MSc.) and in addition to my job as a consultant, I have always taught mathematics and statistics to secondary school students and university students (HBO and WO) with great pleasure. Since 2017 I have assisted students from different study backgrounds (from civil engineering to psychology) with writing their thesis and since 2022 I work parttime as a math teacher and educational advisor in the Emma Children's Hospital in Amsterdam and I teach private students 2 days a week (Monday and Wednesday). Lessons can be taught in English or Dutch. It is possible to arrange group lessons (max 3 students).

English lessons: tutoring & language lessons & homework help
Hey! My name is Yasmin, I was born in Denmark, mainly raised in the Netherlands, but moved more than 14 times to different countries and cities. I have always attended an international school and received my Bachelor's degree in English & Pre-Law from the University of California Santa Barbara last summer. I have decided to continue my studies and am currently studying international & European law. I provide English tutoring where we can focus together on whatever you need, such as: writing, speaking, writing essays and creative writing. I can also help with homework or help with public speaking and giving presentations in English, of course. It is important to me that you receive enough help so that you can continue with full self-confidence. In addition, I am also there for children whose parents want them to be able to master the English language. I do this by having fun and educational conversations with the child. Hopefully see you soon!

English language and literature guidance and support for IB students
This class guides and supports students through the English studies. My aim is to inspire students to approach the subject in a way that sparks creativity and critical thinking skills. It’s not about helping them with the task at hand, but rather training them in supporting themselves in the subject further down the line. I have received excellent academic achievement awards for my work in IB (International Baccalaureate) English A higher lever course and know my way through the IB language system. I can aid the student in finding the best study techniques, aiming at receiving the best possible final results. I focus on literature and analysis, deep diving into works by authors such as Charlotte Brönte, Frank Kafka and Albert Camus. I can also teach essay-writing, which is essential in achieving good results in any language subject.

Dr Tom
Academic writing and research support in social sciences/humanities for undergraduates, postgraduates and early career academics
I am a former University Senior Lecturer with over 20 years experience in teaching and research. I am passionate about inspiring individuals to aim high. I have assisted multiple students and early career academics to achieve their goals. I worked in research and teaching roles within UK universities between 2004 and 2024 and am an Advance HE Fellow. I am the author of four books, have published in a range of international peer reviewed journals and have chapters in various other books. I also have significant experience in peer-reviewing for academic journals. After a twenty-year career in UK higher education I decided to embark on my own freelance private tutoring and academic consultancy business. I have delivered bespoke 1:1 tutorials to university students since April 2023. I was a part-time private tutor from April 2023 to June 2024 and have been full-time since then working with various tutoring agencies. I teach social sciences, qualitative research methods, study skills and academic writing and I have assisted students from undergraduate to PhD level. I have also assisted early career researchers or those new to teaching at the higher education level. I believe that students learn best when they construct knowledge for themselves rather than passively take it in, so all my classes are student-centred and aim to help you become an independent learner by improving your skills so that you can perform better in your assessments. I offer online lessons. A typical online lesson is 1-2 hours. I can also read, review and provide detailed feedback on your work if required.
