    I am a top-notch professional Academic writing Tutor, with an impeccable versatility of helping students to master and implement the various techniques of writing quality and academically acceptable papers across multiple fields of study. I help my clients learn how to convey their scholarly thoughts in a logical, creative, engaging, and critically assertive way so that their final papers both scores the best grades and add value to the already existing body of knowledge -this is the essence of writing at a high institution of learning. My main objective is to give students individualized attention which they might not get in a classroom set-up, where instructors are required to attend to all students. Under these circumstances, teachers lack enough time to help students develop into independent researchers because of increased standardized tests, which often do not give students an opportunity of developing into critical consumers of literature in their field of study. I hold a Master's Degree in Computer Science. My 4 years of pursuing my Undergraduate Degree and the 3 years spent in pursuing my Master's Degree (included extensive research and writing of voluminous papers) helped me understand the challenges that students go through, especially if they do not have a dependable supervisor (often busy) to guide them in the research process. I will help students in need of a tutor to help them understand or explain the different aspects and rules of conducting research and crafting academically acceptable papers. Just like in a classroom learning environment, I will use sample papers to help you in writing and formatting your paper according to your university's preferred style of writing. I am a full-time tutor, hence I utilize my time well to guide you towards understanding the prerequisites of wiring a quality paper and answer any concern that you might have as you prepare to write your paper. I am always online for a timely response to my clients' emails and answering any questions regarding ways to improve your paper and score a better grade. I am interested in your academic excellence hence and I will guide you through your academic journey towards excellence. *As your tutor, I will guide you through:* 1. How to prepare an academic paper and proofread in APA, MLA, Chicago, IEEE, and Harvard among others. 2.How to write original papers or avoiding PLAGIARISM 3. How to manage your research process when writing your paper 4. The DO and DONTs in academic writing. OTHER SKILLS AND SERVICES 1. Probability and Statistics 2. Algebra 3. Financial Accounting 4. Economic Analysis

Some research projects I have conducted in the past are on topics about perceptions abroad, culinary tourism, and culture and identity.

    "Dr. Poff is the consummate professional." "Her profile matched her performance. If you're thinking about using her... stop thinking... start using!" Long-term editing clients include researchers at Harvard Medical Center, a small group of United Nations ambassadors and peace keepers, and professors around the United States. With 3 language-related degrees, 2 with a focus on instructional design, and 25+ years of professional experience, I am an optimal choice for all of your writing-related, instructional, and research needs. Editing and academic editing, writing and ghostwriting, full books and short articles, even legal documents--all fall within my areas of expertise. I also design courses in any area, and support research projects in any discipline. My education includes BA in English UC Berkeley, MA in Linguistics & Teaching Portland State University, PhD in Communication University of Washington. Two of these are top-twenty schools, so my academic training is top-notch. Editing & Writing: I have been working with texts my entire career--editing, proofreading, writing. My academic work at the graduate and professional levels has all involved achieving mastery of written communication and improving writing for greater impact to target audiences. My doctoral expertise lies in argumentation, written organization, and underlying communication messages within verbal and visual texts. I also develop and edit successful grant proposals. As an editor, I polish your work so that your essential arguments shine through clearly and strongly. I examine texts at deep levels to ensure solid structure and organization of information, argument quality and clarity, optimal vocabulary usage, clear phrasing, and of course proper grammar and spelling. Many of my clients are university researchers--professors and grad students--whose work I polish prior to the evaluation process. My knowledge of academic article and dissertation/thesis writing is very strong, as I have worked on more than 100 academic papers at various stages. As a writer, I deliver high-quality, well-organized, well-articulated, well-written documents, books and articles. Give me some direction on source information, and I will write solid pieces for you. I write on any topic, helping all clients achieve clearer, stronger, and more impactful written materials. I happily work with your subject matter experts (SMEs) and cultivate high-quality written materials. I also served as Managing Editor for a lifestyle magazine for a short time, where I also wrote many pieces, and currently write two columns for a lifestyle magazine. Instructional design: Both graduate programs, MA and PhD, involved solid training on instructional design. I have designed courses in the public and private sectors for 20 years and taught in the university and corporate classrooms for 15 years. While teaching, my courses were evaluated quarterly by supervisors and students, and always received very high marks. I have developed an intuitive sense for how to package and present material for optimal learning. I work with ADDIE and Blooms, along with the lesser-known but incisive cognitive load management. I can create any supplemental materials, assessment tools, and detailed lesson plans so that you can give the material to any competent instructor and the class will be the same across sections. Research: Trained in both quantitative and many qualitative research methods, I can assist (or lead) research projects. My skills include survey design and analysis, experimental design, and nearly all types of qualitative design and analytical methods. I provide knowledgeable, professional support for your research project. Then, I can help you with writing it up if you like. Since 2012, I have been offering my services in the private sector through Upwork (formerly eLance). It is an honor and a privilege to extend my skills and expertise to those in this space looking for some support in the areas of writing, editing, instructional design, and investigative research. When your needs call for any of these skills or especially a combination of these skills, I am your best choice. Mensa member (inactive) Currently seeking long-term contract(s) in addition to the short-term ones I happily work with. Thank you for reading and for your consideration. Let's chat about how I can help you meet your needs. Please direct message me for best results.

    I have over 7 years of experience in market research, conducting primary and secondary studies for various industries (beverages, durables, personal care, financial, telco, etc.) using different methodologies (mystery shopping, UAI, brand health tracking, product/concept test, etc.). I also have a robust background in writing, having served as a regular writer for an official school organ back when I was in university.

    I am pursuing my dream of assisting scholars, scientists, and researchers with their research endeavours. As an academic researcher with strong theoretical research skills, I specialize in postmodern theory, literary theory, postcolonial theory, sociological theory, and the history of thought.

How to Hire Top Qualitative Researchers

How to hire qualitative researchers

Looking to gain in-depth insights into human perspectives surrounding a research question? A qualitative research consultant can help. 

So how do you hire qualitative researchers? Here are some tips for finding top qualitative researchers on Upwork.

How to shortlist qualitative research professionals

As you’re browsing available qualitative research consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles using criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. You want a qualitative researcher who understands your industry so they can help you figure out how best to reach your target market. 
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., transcribing foreign-language interviews into English).
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular qualitative researcher.

How to write an effective qualitative research job post

With a clear picture of your ideal qualitative researcher in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project. 

An effective qualitative research job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From conducting interviews to creating focus groups, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or collaborative tools, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

QUALITATIVE RESEARCHERS FAQ

What is qualitative research?

Qualitative research is the process of collecting non-numerical data such as insights, opinions, and perspectives. It is more concerned with the “why” behind social phenomena than with the “what” addressed by numbers and statistics gained through quantitative research methods. 

Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in qualitative research professionals:

  • Qualitative research
  • Academic writing
  • Qualitative research methods (e.g., interviews, focus groups, participant observation)
  • Subject-matter expertise (e.g., healthcare, UX design, psychology)

Why hire qualitative researchers?

The trick to finding top qualitative researchers is to identify your needs. Is your goal to create a focus group to gain qualitative feedback on a mobile app idea? Or do you need help documenting qualitative observations for an academic paper? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life. 

How much does it cost to hire a qualitative research professional?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced qualitative researcher may command higher fees but also work faster, have more specialized areas of expertise, and deliver a higher-quality product.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their qualitative research more competitively. 

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
