Essay writing dissertation writing in a humanities or social sciences subject

Von 76.08 Fr /Std

I have a PhD in Theology from Cambridge. I studied English Literature as an undergraduate. I have 20+ years of experience teaching English and 10+ years of experience coaching students how to write an engaging personal statement and editing dissertations, papers, and research proposals.

I can work with you on how to write an academic essay in a humanities or social sciences subject. Do note that while my background is in Theology and English, I can guide you on how to write an academic paper in other subjects since research papers follow the same format. However, I will not be able to advise you on subject-specific details.

Personal statement for UCAS and graduate school application

63.95 Fr /Std

I am an admissions consultant specialising in guiding students to apply to universities or graduate schools in the US and the UK. Most of my clients are third or fourth-year undergraduates or professionals with a few years of work experience applying to graduate schools.

My teaching philosophy is to be a mentor, friend, and sometimes emotional support counsellor for my clients. The admissions process can be daunting, especially for students with little or no experience writing personal statements and academic essays. I guide my students on a journey of self-discovery as they explore what they want to study and why.

When I am working with a student on crafting their personal statement, I will first ask my student to brainstorm ideas. We will discuss what to keep and what to delete when we are structuring the essay. I will then guide them on using the STAR method to give examples and details to demonstrate their skill or experience. The final stage is polishing the essay so it reads well and still retains the student's voice.

I also coach secondary school and undergraduate students how to write academic essays. They need to first become familiar with the materials by reading extensively and writing summaries and critiques. I will then guide them on how to come up with an argument and how to structure the essay. Finally, we will add supporting details and examples to demonstrate the main points.

My English speaking courses are paired up with my English writing courses.

You can choose the article you want to work on. It can be a news article about current affairs, an article from National Geographic or Harvard Business Review, or a fun article about dogs.

We will work on one article for each set of writing and speaking courses.

For the writing course, you will write a 1000-word summary and critique of the article and send it to me. I will revise your essay, give you feedback on what you can improve, and explain why your sentences are incorrect or unidiomatic.

The writing course is conducted via email.

We will then have a speaking course on Zoom or Skype.

My English speaking courses are all about YOU speaking and me correcting your mistakes. English speaking skills can’t be improved through chit-chat.

It is about correcting your mistakes repeatedly until you have internalised the correct usage.

I am an extremely patient teacher. Language skills can only be acquired through repetition and having someone correct the same mistake multiple times.

In the speaking course, you will present your selected article. I want you to take notes for your presentation before the class.

You will summarise the article, and I will correct your grammar, pronunciation, and word usage mistakes.

You will do your presentation a few times until there are few mistakes and you sound fluent.

We will then move on to a discussion of the article.

I also offer test prep courses for the TOEFL and IELTS. I specialise in teaching the writing and speaking sections.

Oxford and Cambridge are the UK’s most elite universities and, especially for a European student, far easier to reach with the proper support. This is what I am here to provide: help writing an ideal personal statement fit for a future Oxbridge offer holder, aid with UCAS, interview practice and advice on any possible question you could have. As a European Oxford student myself, I know the challenges and hardships of an Oxbridge application and aim to make the entire process easier for you. This will not only better your chances of securing an offer, but also make this already stressful time a bit less confusing.

During the supervision of your maturity work, I accompany you during all the stages. From the "roughing out of the subject" to the defense of the work.
We look at the problem together, like writing a scientific work, a summary that presents the conclusions of the work. Several rereadings of it.
For those who present themselves as a free candidate, I can be your accompanying person.

This class offers insight into the German language, where the students learn how to write, speak and comprehend the basics of the German language. Through individual and (sometimes) group activities, students work on improving pronunciation, practising conversation strategies and expanding vocabulary.

I offer careful proofreading, both in terms of content and form, of written work such as internship reports, senior work, end-of-study dissertations, dissertations, comments or reading sheets.
I correct language errors: grammar, syntax, language register, spelling. I also suggest possibly bringing in other sources and rectifying the structure of the work if necessary.

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.

Welcome!

My name is Hamed (حمد) and I come from Syria. My passion is the art of writing and I work as an author. I find great joy in teaching my native language and helping others learn to read and write it.

In my course we would like to immerse ourselves together and discover the fascination of the Arabic language. We will take time to determine your personal language level so that we can adapt the course accordingly. Whether you are a beginner or have advanced knowledge, we will carry out exercises and activities tailored to your needs.

Together we will embark on a journey in which we will explore not only the language, but also the culture and diversity of the Arab world. I look forward to welcoming you to my course and learning and growing together with you.
Let's come together and experience the beauty of the Arabic language!

I am native German and I can teach my language in all levels, for children and adults. More than ten years of experience. My focus is the grammar and the conversation. German has a lot of grammar and I always try to teach how the language works and how german people actually speak it, not only how to follow the rules. We'd do a lot of speaking, exercices, games or interactive activities. Depending on your level, there are also lessons in german history, german politics and differences between german, austrian or swiss german.

This course is aimed at learners with intermediate knowledge of Mandarin who wish to further develop their oral expression, writing and reading comprehension skills.

Together we will talk, read, and write about everyday and current topics (from studying, work, and travel to social media and Chinese culture). You will learn to conduct conversations more fluently, write clearly structured texts, and better understand authentic materials (articles, short essays, stories).

In class, we work with dialogues, role-playing, discussions, writing assignments with individual feedback, and reading strategies. In doing so, we discover Mandarin as the most widely spoken language in the world and as a language with a great future in both professional and everyday life.

The course is intended for participants aged 18 and over.

Do you need to improve your English so that you can participate fluently and confidently in business meetings, presentations, webinars, telephone conversations or interviews? You may be aiming for a job in the EU institutions or other organisations in Brussels. Or you could be working in an international company or studying for a Masters or another qualification...

I have been a qualified, professional English teacher and translator for more than 20 years. My courses enable learners to actively produce the language, repeat useful expressions until they are habitual and correct mistakes until they are removed. Although I am happy to explain and practice grammatical issues, the focus is on effective, correct and appropriate communication by using visual material, videos, interesting topics for discussion and challenging quizzes. As I have advanced knowledge of French, German and Czech, I can particularly appreciate and correct the issues speakers of these languages have in English, but this is also the case for Dutch speakers.

There is also the possibility of specialist English courses in the areas linked to my experience (see below): how the EU works; environmental, energy, regional or agricultural policies; economics.

- Advisor in EU policies and funding for 12 years (regional policy, economic development)
- Director of a regional representation to the EU and member of a management team
- Certificate in TESOL with business
- BA(Honours) in Modern Languages & Modern History, Oxford University
- Post-graduate in Economics, London University
