Thesis & Dissertation Coach - Academic Writing | Editing | Proofreading

Whether you are struggling with your structure, your language or the cohesion of your academic piece, I am happy to help you as a sounding board, partner and guide.

My experience in academic writing spans 5 different academic pieces of writing across 3 degrees and several journal articles, with my LLM paper nominated for an award.

I am aware of all the pitfalls one can encounter in this really challenging process and am therefore transparent with regards to not only the quality of the paper but also your work ethic in order that you can then obtain the best piece of work possible.

About Me

Hello!

I am Natalia, and I have been tutoring throughout my academic career in different disciplines. It has always been a way for me to keep up with the subjects, as well as transfer my notes to the people who were struggling with a certain subject.

Now, I tutor because it is my belief that no one is "incapable" or "bad" at anything - especially at Maths and Stats. It is simply about finding the right approach. My goal is to try and unlock that approach for all of my students.

If you are looking for someone to help you look forward to tackling your classes, then I encourage you to get in touch - a solution may be just around the corner.

---

I also believe in the beauty of meaningful action and therefore have designed a small class on how to become a more meaningful gift giver and assist in finding the perfect gift for whoever is in your life.

My class 'The Art of Gifting' aims to impart this skill on others.

---

I ask all of my students to be active and engaged in their lessons, and keen to overcome any difficulties they may be having.

My daughters first lesson with Natalia and she really enjoyed her style of teaching.
Thanks for Apprentus to find this vert valuable tutor who was able to have my son’s attention and made Maths interesting for hin
Natalia was pleasant and extremely informative. My daughter Elise (14) is not very confident with people she doesn't know but Natalia was really great with her. Elise informed me that she was looking forward to the next session as Natalia really helped her understand something in the 1st session she had been struggling with at school.
I have been working with Natalia for quite a while now and I can say every class with her is enlightening, fun, and most importantly super helpful. I study Statistics with her, and it is not at all my strong suit, however, Natalia made it possible for me to pass courses that otherwise I would have not been able to pass. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who is struggling or would like to improve.

Kokugo - Japanese as Heritage Language for Native/Multilingual Children
This is individual Japanese/Japanese language instruction for primary and secondary school students whose native language is Japanese or who are growing up in a bilingual environment. By reading aloud a variety of texts and writing compositions, students will gradually improve their Japanese skills. ・Learning programs adapted to each level, objective and environment ・Those who want to improve their Japanese skills in a bilingual environment ・Those who wish to take entrance exams or pursue higher education after returning to Japan Living outside of Japan, knowing the world of languages other than Japanese, and knowing the language of Japan, which is far from Europe, all have the potential to broaden one's horizons and the world. It is an irreplaceable experience. I would like to use my experience living in Europe as a child and my university studies as a returnee in Japan, and help them learn Japanese together so that they can develop Japanese as an important language for them.

Kevin
Spanish lessons for all levels, Test Prep Tutoring
Hola amigos! My name is Kevin and I am a Business Administration professional with first-hand experience in tutoring foreign students from different nationalities. My linguistic spectrum consists of English, French and Spanish, which I master both orally and written. As a native Spanish speaker, I possess significant experience in the construction of argumentative texts and academic essays in Spanish. On the personal side, one of my greatest passions are philosophy and literature. As such, I am constantly reading and translating texts in order to increase and develop my language skills. Consequently, my work methodology is mostly focused on motivating the student to speak freely and to learn by acknowledging his/her mistakes. From the beginning, I will try to address the lessons 100% in Spanish, with the aim of familiarizing the ear to the pronunciation. In terms of written exercises, it is important to know what are the student’s learning priorities. When starting with the written part, it is important to know the student is dedicated to practicing and that he will also benefit from this in his future experiences. This is why the exercises will address current social problems that allow him to be fluent when he meets other Spanish speakers. In order for the student to learn as easily and efficiently as possible, homework exercises will be given after each lesson, drafted according to the parts that the students wishes to master best (speaking, reading, listening, writing). This way, the student will benefit from a fluid learning process and, with dedication, will be able to excel in Spanish in a short period of time.
