About the lesson

Studies in medical and health sciences, prominently appear in alternative forms such as prevalence studies; diagnostic accuracy studies; cohort studies; a systematic review of literature; meta-analysis; therapy; or intervention studies.

In order to critically evaluate journal articles, I preferably use either the center for evidence-based medicine (CEBM) tools; critical appraisal skills program (CASP) checklists; the effective public health practice project (EPHPP) protocols; Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical evaluation checklists; PRISMA, or the AMSTAR 2 (where applicable).

As the present day's medical research predominantly rotate around the use of quantitative modeling such as in form of descriptive and visual tools for the presentation of the data; use of hypothesis testing and confidence intervals; use of regression, odds/ risk ratios; and doing the survival analysis to assess morbidity and mortality, so I take the advantage of my background in research and quantitative methods to explain underpinnings of complex analysis, and to interpret numbers and methods in use, in a fully understandable manner.

In addition to that, devising and furnishing the structure of the study is amongst areas of my passion and expertise, as my academic background, career, personality, and interests rotate around my complementary roles as researcher, thesis supervisor, author as well as the referee.

In order to do that effectively, I have to rely heavily on key databases of academic literature such as PubMed; CINAHL Plus; EMBASE: Excerpta Medica Database; Science Direct; Springer Link; and Sage, etc. so that any research notion may strongly be grounded in literature.

Using my background in quantitative research, and as a research supervisor, I urge to manage the expectations of my students, in form of quality guidance.

About Syed

I have a long-standing interest and expertise in dealing with term projects, thesis, and research papers at Bachelor's and Master's level in domains of Medical Sciences, pharmacy, and dentistry, along with my core interests in Social sciences and Humanities.

I have extensive experience as a researcher, as thesis supervisor, as an author as well a Journal referee. Regarding the management of research activity, I served as a Senior fellow and as Coordinator of research.

My career dominated my roles as faculty of Research Methodology and as a researcher. In Medical Sciences, I had the opportunity of dealing with theses, and research-based assignments, specifically in domains of Clinical research, epidemiology, internal medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, sports medicine, and Cytology.

I have published 15 journal articles, while 13 of my papers are also published in International Conferences proceedings. In addition to that, I handled 2 contractual research projects, as a consultant, and so far, I have supervised over 141 student papers.

Superb! Excellent opportunity to learn econometrics and the application, using the Stata package. Including other topics, I learned to use the panel data models, apply specification tests and interpret results. Syed is a technically competent person, who knows his subject and is able to communicate things very effectively. In addition to Econometrics, we had two sessions on my proposed thesis. He is an excellent resource!

Syed has strong grasp on applied model building, competing research designs and on methodological paradigms. He can delicately choose suitable methodology, with a reasonable understanding of efficacy of tools as well as limitations of a said method. He is naturally inclined to use quantitative modeling skills in his coaching and thesis supervision experience. Much recommended.

An incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and so calm person! So much support I received along the way and with positive feedback which gave me the confidence that no matter how difficult some courses are, it goes with right help. I sought help in quantitative methods to ensure my proficiency. Everything just seems so simple when right person helps and explain it. This right person was Syed.

I am so glad and grateful for Syed's help and teaching. He has been amazing all they way with tutoring me in Advanced Microeconomics, online. I am keeping your contact information for the future and I will surely take contact next time, when adressing my proposed thesis on Application of the Antitrust legislation. It'a been a pleasure working with you!

Proficient and dependable! Syed is an outstanding researcher as well as an excellent mentor with lots of precision and patience in his coaching and in providing the feedback. I found him to be an extremely professional person with quality knowledge, immense proficiency in research skills and untiring nature. From adjusting my original research notions into well-structured research hypothesis, to structuring research design and in choosing quantitative tools to suit research needs, he has been superb. Despite the fact that I spent quite some time while working on my thesis, I was surprised to see how the academic value of my dissertation improved within a short frame of time, because of his continual feedback. With his guidance I was able to experiment Autoregressive distributed lag ARDL models, Autoregressive Moving average ARMA models as well as Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity ARCH models, as part of my dissertation. It has been an amazing lesson experience and I am truly over the moon with the quality of this thesis. I couldn’t have done it without you; I wish you and your family all the best to in these times.
I would highly recommend Syed, to students of research methods, quantitative modeling and to beginner’s in research who are in search of a mentor who will increase their capabilities drastically over a short space of time.

I benefited from Syed in 'Advanced Regression analysis' and then while preparing for Research proposal of master's dissertation. He has excellent command and strong foresight in furnishing research designs, in assessing academic worth of methodological choices, and how to advance rather naive research notions into a well-structured hypothesis. He has published in rather diversified and interdisciplinary domains of social sciences and humanities.

Much recommended for beginner's in research and for persons who are struggling with quantitative underpinnings of research designs.

Perfect! I can absolutely recommend Syed to students who are struggling with quantitative methods and statistics (or just if you want to improve expertise in applied aspects of quantitative skills). He is a really good teacher and explains relatively complex quantitative things using illustrations and in an easy manner. I have learned a lot from the tutoring with him.

Details

For communicating your academic concerns, and for the tentative planning of lessons, we can have a 15 minutes complimentary session.

The mentioned fee is for lessons on regular course contents, whereas for discussion on assignments, research projects, etc we need to decide about the hourly fee.

If it is deemed necessary to review your work (files), before the meeting, I will communicate my time allocation on the review process that needs to be reimbursed.
