About Syed

Faculty in Research Methodology, Quantitative Research, Survey Research, and Social Statistics courses for over 2 decades. I also completed over 1000 hours of teaching and consulting through the Superprof platform. In addition, I have vast experience in research, including roles as thesis supervisor, senior research fellow, coordinator of research, consultant on contractual projects, and author. I have published several journal articles and papers in international conference proceedings. I am humbled by the confidence of students (from the University of Oxford, The University of Chicago (Booth), McGill University, LSE, The Smith School of Business at Queen’s University, and others) and professionals (including an international development professional researcher at UNCDF, the Managing Director at National Standard Finance (NSF), senior advisors in government-affiliated institutions, a research fellow at Imperial College London, a visiting scholar at Harvard University, and many more), who sought guidance and wrote lovely reviews for me.

Are you skeptical about ​research paradigms, the choice of a decent research ​methodology, or feeling low while initiating research?

My guidance, instructions, and technical counseling include:

░ Helping in the critical review of literature, finding gaps in the literature, and searching for a novel stance.

░ Help synchronize hypotheses with the title of the thesis and the research design.

░ Structuring the document into a detailed table of contents to demonstrate depth of knowledge.

░ Help and structure estimation methods using Stata, SPSS, and Minitab for quantitative and Nvivo for qualitative data.

░ Explaining and interpreting findings and results, keeping in view the stated hypotheses.

░ Explaining how to identify research limitations and write the conclusion

░ Research reporting: writing an abstract, referencing, and avoiding plagiarism.

░ Providing technical and written feedback on completed works: identification of mistakes and areas of potential improvement.

For troubleshooting with the data analysis using Stata/SPSS/Excel/Nvivo, I will duly communicate the hourly fee.

​For effective and contextual guidance, if you feel that I should review your documents—the project or the thesis write-up, data sets, etc.—we can mutually agree on the time that I would need for reviewing purposes, and then we can plan to meet.

  • When did you develop an interest in your chosen field and in private tutoring?

    My fondness for teaching profession has traces at the stage of my schooling: when I and my siblings were used to ask parents about different occupations and professions, so that every one of us can choose a plausible career path, accordingly. I can clearly recall that my father was used to say that though prophets and saints opted quite a few professions, but teaching and health care are always being regarded amongst incredibly noble professions. I can say that the strong literary background of my parents predominantly appreciated my respect for teaching profession.

    For quite some time, in pedagogical sciences it is being preferred that in order to ensure individual attention, small group of students have high efficacy, over large number of students. In recent times, theories of personality development further stress upon individualization. In this context we as academician require to assess personalized needs of students, with great diligence. In one on one coaching I carefully make use of case specific illustrations, examples, choice of analytical tools etc. to ensure in-depth understanding of the subject. If the subject in itself is rather complex, I make sure to simplify things.
    I liked the Superprof. Portal as it gives comprehensive outreach to students, in form of one on one/ group caching and also through online consultation.
  • What makes you passionate about your subject?

    My learning and teaching interests include Quantitative methods: Mathematical modeling; Econometrics; and Statistics, core subjects in Economics such as Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Mathematical Economics, while heart of my academic proficiency lye in thesis supervision, in domain of Social Sciences and humanities. So far, I have supervised over 141 theses of Honor’s, Master’s and at M.Phil levels.
    Regarding digitalized computational/ analytical skills, I am proficient in using Stata, SPSS, Minitab, Statgraphics, Maple, WinQSB, Nvivo and Turnitin, both in my teaching as well as in my research experience.
  • What do you like about tutoring? What makes you a "Superprof"?

    A strong background in quantitative skills is a prerequisite for quite some time as there has been an intense use of Descriptive and Inferential Statistics, Econometrics & Regression analysis, Mathematics of chance: Game Theory as well as of mathematics of optimization: Linear/ nonlinear/ integer/ goal programming etc, in academic curricula and in research. Secondly, I feel that a good teacher essentially should have good sense of observational psychology: within a short conversation he/ she should carefully assess personalized needs of the student. And last but not the least, a good communication skill: ability of making simplification; wide choice of vocabulary and an easy going conversation style.
    While tutoring, the timing/ stage of seeking student response/ feedback is always very important: un till I feel that student has grasped something, the feedback of the student is always being invited with a pause, so that he/she can participate effectively, without losing confidence/ faith.
  • Do you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you?.

    I can clearly mention that I am providential enough that my father suggested me to opt Economics, Statistics and Mathematics as soon as I completed my schooling, as he viewed these subjects more close to my nature. Throughout my career, whenever my temperament and skillfulness is appreciated by my students or at International forums, I always thanked my late father, for assessing me so well. As I was duly equipped with different aspects of quantitative methods due to my long standing interest, I enjoyed quantitative proficiency not just in my teaching experience but predominately in my research experience as well.
  • What are your keys to success?

    At a young age of 24, I was invited as visiting Professor to teach Econometrics to master’s classes. I had to spend days and night before the semester start, to fully grasp the subject as well as to fully absorb lecture contents, as part of my understanding. Getting such a tough assignment at a young age developed my temperament, and in rest of my career this time investment amused me a lot.
    Precisely, I can say that I have sizable experience of teaching in above mentioned subjects; lots of experience as thesis supervisor; have 13 journal publications and 14 International conference proceedings.
    Potentially, I can manage to explain how students can be benefited through digitalization in education, specifically in domain of research. Secondly, I can arrange seminars on the incidence of plagiarism, how its incidence is being detected, how to avoid it naturally, and what legal complications can arise, if its incidence is established.
