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.

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.

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.

English lessons: tutoring & language lessons & homework helpHey! 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!

IB English Lang/Lit SL/HL tutoring to help you with your essay writing for HL essays and form ideas while speaking coherently in your IOsAfter completing IB English Lang/Lit HL and receiving 7s in my HL Essays and IO, I am ready to help others achieve their highest potential when it comes to essay writing.
In my recent written university work I have received 80+/100 and this grade range is the Highest Distinction.
We will begin with a first lesson in order to get to know each other and see whether our goals align. We will discuss what exactly you need help with and make a weekly tutoring schedule. This is especially important when it comes to planning and writing HL essays and IOs. I will provide you with feedback, help you structure your work and read through it with you. I will also set deadlines for the next class that I expect you to meet. Keep in mind I pay great attention to grammar, spelling and overall clarity. IOs can be especially daunting, the idea of speaking for 10 minutes straight in essay format scared me too but I did it and received a 7, and I am here to provide you with tips and advice on how to achieve this.
I am looking for students who are open to receiving constructive criticism for their work. I promise I will approach all of our lessons with patience, kindness, motivation and support!
