Josué - Evergem, Belgium$47
$47Mentoring of research projects in the Humanities/Social Sciences
Trusted teacher: So, you need to write a research project! You have some ideas, your supervisor gave you guidelines, topics, clicks, bites and what else. You have already read something on the topic, you might even be well aware of developments in the literature, but – there`s always a but... Are my questions, hypothesis clear? What do I need to know in order to be able to start my research? Will my research contribute to anything? Is my theoretical approach right? Which method is best in order to answer my questions? Heavens! What are questions, hypothesis, theory, method? And what in hell is research for? IF YOU find yourself in a similar situation, this class is for you! With more than 15 years of experience on writing, conducting research projects and mentoring research projects, I want to offer you an eye-to-eye, tailored discussion on your research proposal. We will discuss whatever you have in hands (from scattered fragments and broken pages, to already more elaborated written ideas or still those mysterious feedbacks from your supervisor), and look for unseen loops, unnecessary digressions, missed or overstated arguments. We will see what is working and which threads are worth to pursue further, and which to let go. Rather than give you a professorial class on what is a question, a method, theory or research itself, I will offer you a direct hands-on approach to writing YOUR project. With a mix between those uniquely valuable peer-to-peer discussions and a more careful pedagogical work, we will tackle whatever questions you have, and explore in a more realistic way what a research project is made of and why it is so important. How does it work? Bellow, I offer you two categories of classes. In both of them we will be focusing on what I consider to be the three most important pillars of a good research project: 1. Understanding what our question really is (what is your container); 2. Mapping our bibliographical sources (what are your tools); and 3. Sorting out our ‘data’ sources (what are your raw materials). My approach brings theory and method as the spice of our research project, something that should be well dosed – not too much, not too little, just enough to give the flavour to your project and help you better understand the uniqueness of your research. * S.O.S Combo You have been some ideas in your mind, and have been reading some relevant literature, but you feel you’re going too wide on the literature, or your questions are too blurry, your possible raw material undefined, your theoretical approach sketchy – and let’s not talk about methodology! We will schedule two 90min sessions + a 60min reading in-between: In the FIRST session, you will (a) tell me all you have in your head (you can send me little fragments and ideas you might have written as well), what is your topic, the questions you imagine, where and how you propose to research it, etc. After scratching the surface, (b) we will try to elaborate at least one of those questions, thinking about possible answers and their ‘consequences’, both methodologically and theoretically. Finally, (c) we will look together for specific bibliographical sources that relate to one or more of your questions. We will select one or two most relevant papers to read and discuss in our second encounter. In the SECOND class, we are going to (a) discuss the paper(s), peeling of its main arguments and tapping into its theoretical-analytical approach in order to (b) return to your topic and try to elaborate some new questions and (c) a clear, step-by-step list of how to continue on your own. At the end of these two sessions, you will be able to sit down, find and read relevant material to your topic, and start writing your first draft. * Insanity-check Combo You have a fairly structured research project, possibly with some feedback from your supervisor. You believe your questions are good, you have some bibliographical references and your raw material is in check. All you need is an insanity check in order to move on, rewrite your project and think more clearly on your methods and theoretical consequences of your research. We will schedule two sessions, of 30min and 60min + 90min reading in-between: In the FIRST session, you will guide me through your project, tell me about why your choose that topic, why you are interested in it, what are questions, methodological and theoretical ideas. I want to have a first impression of your research project, before I read it. In our SECOND session, after I have read your project and any other related document you might find relevant for me to read, I will give you a full feedback of your project. If you have your supervisor feedback, I will also give you feedback about that and try to clarify where you feel necessary. I will give particular attention to the weaving between your questions and the literature review, on one side, and on the other side, that between methodology and theoretical framework. Finally, I will offer you a clear scheme of how to proceed to review and rewrite your proposal if it’s necessary. I will also help you and offer you a guideline to ensure you have a strong and well focused map of your literature review, one which you can use to further your research in the future. At the end of these two session, you will have a better view of some underlying aspects of your research project, and will be able to extend your knowledge about your topic with more precision. Finally, you will be ready to start writing your final draft. Who am I? A committed social scientist, MA and Ph.D in Anthropology, completed 4yrs post-Ph.D in political anthropology. I have conducted four different research projects, all of them focusing in southern African communities and dealing with an array of distinct topics (religious syncretism; memory and identity; local and state politics; literary practices; history making; power and authority). During my studies I have built a very consistent and broad theoretical and ethnographic knowledge, particularly, but not only, when it comes to the interdisciplinary field of African studies (a complex literature in which I feel very comfortable and able to navigate with full proficiency). I am a very experienced researcher (with more than 3 years of fieldwork experience in southern Africa), acquainted with all kinds of qualitative methods, from interviews, ritual analysis, archival work and social media research. I have much experience writing, assessing and tutoring research projects; peer-reviewing academic papers (including American Anthropology, Caderno de Estudos Africanos, among others); participating in thesis commission board; and as a university professor. Mentoring and teaching is truly my passion, and with a very consistent and mature knowledge of the literature you can expect a most precise, competent assistance.

Corinne - Vence, France$31
$31Homework help & MATH lessons on COLLE / St PAUL & Surroundings - By PROFESSOR OF TRADE & PROFESSIONAL COACH
Trusted teacher: By PROFESSOR & PROFESSIONAL COACH Hello, First and foremost, I would like to wish you a warm welcome back to school and a peaceful year ahead as you work towards your goals. I am aware that the economic situation can sometimes be challenging, which is why I offer my services to accompany your child throughout their academic journey with ease and serenity. Throughout my career as a Graduate Teacher and Graduate Professional Coach, I have worked in various contexts. Until last year, I taught in front of whole classes as well as in private lessons. Since this year, I have been providing face-to-face private lessons at home and also via video conferencing, a mode of teaching that I have practiced with university students for the past ten years. My teaching environment has undergone significant changes, especially with the emergence of the Covid pandemic. This shift has led our secondary school students to adapt to the new mode of learning and communication, namely video conferencing. Despite the success of this transition, it is important to acknowledge that our younger students still require attention and a psycho-emotional connection in order to develop their autonomy peacefully. Over the past two decades, I have implemented proven methodological approaches, some of which are borrowed from theater techniques, such as the Davis method (mind mappings/colors), and my specialty, professional coaching, which aims to enhance your child's motivation. My main goal is to foster agility in your child across all subjects, not only for the present but also for their future when I will no longer be by their side. Ultimately, my objective goes beyond simply focusing on gaining points in a subject. I firmly believe in this approach due to my experience as a Mental Coach working with young athletes between Nice and Cannes, as well as throughout Europe via video conferencing, as part of their preparation for the French Tennis Championships. It has reinforced my conviction that working on a subject should be a nurtured objective that encompasses personal growth and development. As a Professor in General Education, specializing mainly in scientific subjects, I suggest supporting your child in gaining agility in constructing their academic path during this unique period that is filled with both opportunities and challenges. Looking forward to meeting you soon, Corinne.

Polly - London, United Kingdom$47
$47Geography: Understanding Our Complex and Changing World
Hi, I'm Polly! I graduated with a first-class BA in Geography from the University of Oxford and I am about to start my MA at SOAS University of London. My experience includes teaching English in China for a year, over four years tutoring Geography from KS3 to undergraduate level, and teaching A-level Geography at an international school. Geography is more than just maps; it's the study of the world and how humans interact with it, making it essential for understanding our interconnected planet and the challenges we face. This class ranges from physical geography, such as Earth's features and natural processes, to human geography, including population, urban development, and cultural landscapes. Students will develop critical skills like map reading, spatial awareness, analytical thinking, and research while exploring global issues such as climate change and sustainability. By learning geography, students gain a deeper appreciation for diverse cultures and environments, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to navigate and address the complex challenges of our world. As a qualified tutor for the National Tutoring Programme, I've developed strategies to address learning gaps and support students with SEND needs. My expertise covers human and physical Geography, ensuring comprehensive support across a range of topics. I tailor my approach to each student’s needs, focusing on content mastery, exam techniques, and revision strategies, with follow-up exercises to reinforce learning and build confidence.

ORAL PREPARATION 🗣️ WRITTEN ✍ PATENT 🎓 BACCALAUREATE by PROFESSOR of Higher & Secondary and PROFESSIONAL COACH Orientation COMMUNICATION (Vence)
Corinne
Corinne is helping my daughter to prepare for her oral exam for the European Baccalaureate (French as a second language). She is very professional, well organized and very kind! She is also very flexible, as we had to postpone and reschedule a couple of times. But most importantly, my daughter says that she can see Corinne’s passion for language and text, so that makes the tutoring more fun. Corinne also takes notes during the lessons and sends them to my daughter afterwards: great! PS: my daughter received now a 10/10 for her final French oral exam!

Lamia
Lamia is an excellent teacher!! Thanks to her skills and knowledge, my 12-year-old improved her writing skills. Lamia is patient, and is willing to work until the goals are reached. She helped my daughter to understand her weak points, increase her vocabulary, and use more descriptive and creative language in her writing assignments. I strongly recommend Lamia to everyone who is struggling with writing and creativity.

Consciousness and Philosophy of Mind: An Introduction
Anya
Anya really knows her way around both in breadth and depth of her field. She asks really cool questions in such a way, that it stimulates thinking together. I can recommend her 100% based on the sessions we had and looking forward to the papers we will discuss :)
