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

A partir de 31.65 $ /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.

Información adicional

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

Acerca de mí

Hello,

I am Phoebe, originally from London in the UK, however, I have lived in many places such as Fiji, Australia, Scotland, various places in England, and now in Finland! I am a PhD researcher who is specialising in Arctic marine ecology with a solid background in marine science and ecology.

Now, I am on this website in the hope to share some of the knowledge and skills I have accumulated over the years and passing them on to you in a calm manner, with no pressure, and fun, easy-going one-on-one sessions. As a scientist, you have to know many skills (not just the science!), and so I have represented a few of the necessary skills here on my page to help you in your early scientist careers.

Please feel free to contact me at any time if there is something you would like to discuss or to have a more tailored experience.

Look forward to meeting you.

Best Regards,
Phoebe

Python is one of the best, if not the best, language to start learning programming. It is also one of the most widely used languages today, especially in cutting-edge areas such as machine learning.

This popularity means that Python is constantly evolving. It offers a wide range of tools and libraries, which are free and very varied.

As an aeronautical engineer, I like to share my knowledge and derive satisfaction from it by teaching and motivating others.

I'm used to working with people of different ages. I believe in the importance of segmenting learning, visualizing progress, setting concrete goals and practicing regularly.

Beyond these general principles, there is no magic rule or method. Some approaches work with some students but not with others. Adaptation to individual needs is therefore the main objective of private lessons. So I will do my best to find what motivates and helps my student.

While adults are still debating whether kids should use AI, they are already using it.
The question isn't "should they?" it's "how do we do it intelligently?"

In this course, your child will discover:
✓ What AI actually is: not magic, not mystery. How machines think, what they can do, what they can't
✓ How ChatGPT really works: not just "ask a question and get an answer," but why it responds that way, where it fails, when to trust it
✓ What LLMs are (Large Language Models): in language they understand, not tech jargon
✓ Create with AI: custom avatars, interactive stories, real projects using real tools
✓ Think critically about AI: Bias, privacy, creativity. What does AI do better than humans? What can't it do?
✓ Real-world applications: How AI transforms medicine, education, art, gaming, everyday life

Why this is different:
Most AI courses for kids teach "here's the tool, use it." I teach how to think about AI.
Your child will learn to see AI not as black magic or a solution to everything, but as a powerful tool with real limits.
And, more importantly: that they can control how they use it.

What they take home:
Real projects they created (custom avatar, interactive app, analysis of a real AI case study). A genuine understanding of how it works. And the ability to use AI responsibly and creatively.

Format: Online | 60–90 min sessions | Flexible, adapted to their age and pace

For curious kids asking "How does ChatGPT actually know things?"

This course shows students how AI is the engine behind modern video games. It’s an engaging, project-based track ideal for advanced concepts in a fun, relatable environment.

Behavioral AI: Using simple visual programming environments (like Scratch or similar platforms) to program smarter Non-Player Characters (NPCs) that react realistically to the player's actions.

Generative Assets: Learning how game studios use generative AI tools to rapidly create textures, background stories, or simple game environments.

Interactive Storytelling: Exploring decision-tree logic and how AI can adapt game narratives based on player choices, making the game feel dynamic and intelligent.

SEN Alignment: The visual and immediate feedback loop of game design environments is highly effective for kinetic learners and helps maintain focus.

- Multimedia resources (flashcards, multiple-choice questions, interactive exercises)

🎯 Learning through experience and immersion
Depending on the subject matter and the learner's profile, courses may include:

Guided question-and-answer session and active training
Concrete examples and real-life situations (science, economics, technology)

Role-playing games and simulations to develop problem-solving, argumentation and critical thinking.

Language immersion: dialogues, storytelling, story creation, comics or manga to learn languages naturally
Creating content (stories, narratives, creative projects) to enhance expression and understanding.

🚀 Learning objectives
Quickly understand complex concepts
Juggling concepts and disciplines to:

- Develop critical thinking, curiosity and autonomy

- Learn to reason, not just to memorize

- Adapt learning to the natural functioning of the brain.

In this course you will learn the fundamentals of C# programming through the use of the console up to the use of the object-oriented programming paradigm.
This allows you to understand the basic syntax of the different ways to declare a variable, use loops, conditionals, and functions. Furthermore, after understanding fundamental programming, you can begin with the most widely used programming paradigm, which is object-oriented programming (OOP).

Mis clases están enfocadas en que entiendas la ciencia y no tengas que memorizarla. Partimos de tus dudas reales y de los temas que ves en clase, y los explico paso a paso con ejemplos claros y visuales.

Trabajo con presentaciones dinámicas, esquemas y mapas mentales para organizar ideas clave. Durante la clase relacionamos conceptos, resolvemos ejercicios y aclaramos lo que suele generar confusión en exámenes.

Al final, te llevas material de repaso (flashcards, resúmenes o esquemas) y estrategias de estudio para que puedas recordar lo aprendido y rendir mejor en tus evaluaciones.

Las clases se adaptan a tu nivel (secundaria o universidad) y a tus objetivos: reforzar temas, prepararte para un examen o mejorar tus notas.
