    Academic writing for essays and dissertations. Research methods, data gathering and analysis.

    I support students at all levels of academic research and writing - from a first essay to a doctoral thesis. I specialise in qualitative research methods; data gathering and data analysis. I am very happy to work with students who have no experience of essay writing, especially those who have come to Higher Education through FE through alternative routes.
    I support students undertaking research and written projects who are unable to get the level of tutorial support they need from their universities and want to achieve their full potential. I am also very experienced with students whose first language is not English, and students with dyslexia.

    A lecturer and researcher of over twenty years experience, I have two degrees, a Doctorate in Design Education and am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

    I provide under, post-grad or research students in the social science, humanities and creative subjects with everything they need to know to plan, propose, conduct and write up a research project of any size at any level. I provide simple-to-follow support to make the research and writing process straightforward - and even enjoyable!

    Kevin
    Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
    I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.
