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

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.
I can tutor kids and students on different academic subjects:
1) for kids in elementary and middle school I can help them doing homework in almost all subjects
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!

Tips and Tricks for Sociology Essay Writing, Targeted to GCSE and AS/A Level Students.I am eager to help young people feel confident when writing sociology essays. I will place an emphasis on deconstructing the questions students are given by encouraging them to reword the question to offer a different perspective on it. In addition, the main aim of a sociology essay is to convince the reader more and more of the argument you have claimed in the introduction. I want to help students do this by helping them follow the PEAL structure, i.e. Point, Evidence, Analysis, Link back to question. I have found this a very effective and coherent way of structuring an essay. I have studied Sociology for 7 years now, at AS/A Level, Undergraduate Level and now at MSc level at LSE. I was awarded First-Class Honours in my undergraduate as well as 'Best Dissertation of the year' by the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. I am seeking a potential career in academia so I truly feel passionate about engaging with the lesson plans on this platform and helping students feel confident in their essay writing.
