Beginner level coding for R - science, statistics, and ecology

From 23 £ /h

Becoming a scientist? Statistics and coding skills are an important part of your everyday job. Learn early, practice, and with no time you will be flying through your data analyses before everybody else. Using coding software such as R allows you to interpret and analyse meaningful data and plot beautiful graphs using base R or multiple libraries.
I will teach you the basic syntax of R, how to understand and 'think' like R, and build on those skills to do more complicated statistics (ANOVA's, PCA, GLM's, mixed-effects models, etc.) and - the most important(!) - how to plot beautiful graphs!

I would recommend this level of tutoring to college and university level students (that's not to deter any of you ambitious secondary/high school students, or people with a general interest, you are more than welcome!). I have put beginner level as the class title, but I am happy to teach higher levels. We can tailor the class to you if you want to focus on syntax, loops, statistics, models, figures/plots, etc. It's up to you! :)

About me: I am a PhD researcher who is specialising in Arctic marine ecology with a solid background in marine science and ecology. I am currently based in Finland, Europe, but I am a UK national and studied at both St Andrews University and Southampton University in the UK. I am flexible with timings so if the times listed below don't suit you please contact me and we can organise a time that works for us both.

Extra information

Students would need a laptop and a little bit of free memory space to download the R software. (I can help with this)

Need help with math and science (physics, chemistry, etc.)? As a 33-year-old civil engineer, I'm happy to help! I'll learn at your own pace, using plenty of examples to illustrate the material. I have years of experience teaching both simple and complex subjects.

The lessons run as follows. First of all, together we look for the student's biggest stumbling blocks. These can be related to the subject matter as well as to the study method. From there, I continue to work at the pace of the student and encourage them to ask as many questions as possible. I also give them tips and tricks, and improve their working methods where necessary. During the lesson I give many examples to make the subject matter more interesting and we solve exercises together. Once the student has mastered the exercises from the lesson, I give some more challenging exercises to also test on the deeper understanding of the subject matter. In this way I try to optimally prepare the student for his / her test or exam.

However, learning should also be enjoyable. That is why I always strive for a good relationship with the student through a spontaneous and positive approach. I am also very patient. All this lowers the barrier to ask questions and improves the student's learning process.

Are you interested? Do not hesitate to contact me!
See you soon!

I teach Chemistry in a smooth and simple way that helps the student understand the information instead of just memorizing it, with attention to simplifying concepts and rules and linking them to examples and practical applications.

I explain chemistry in Arabic and English according to the student’s level and needs, clarifying scientific terms in both languages, so that the student can understand the lesson in the language he is comfortable with, and at the same time get used to the terms and questions in English, especially in schools and subjects that rely on the English curriculum.

During the explanation, I make sure that the information is arranged step by step, starting with understanding the basic idea, then explaining the rule or law, and then applying it to different examples, while gradually solving exercises and questions from the simple level to the higher levels.

I don't rely solely on memorization, but I focus on the student understanding Why? and How? Why do chemical reactions occur? How do we use the laws? How do we know the appropriate way to solve the question? And how do we arrive at the answer in an organized manner?

I also focus on clarifying points that usually cause confusion for students, such as the difference between similar terms, understanding chemical equations, balancing equations, chemical calculations, and understanding the steps of problems instead of memorizing the solution method.
