About Syed

Faculty in applied econometrics, research methodology, microeconomics, and business & social statistics courses for over 2 decades.

I have vast experience in research, including roles as senior research fellow, coordinator of research, and consultant on contractual projects. I have published journal articles and papers in international conference proceedings and supervised theses in domains of economics, political economy and interdisciplinary aspects of social sciences and humanities.

I am humbled by the confidence of students (from the University of Oxford, The University of Chicago, McGill University, LSE, The Smith School of Business, and others) and professionals (international development professional researcher at UNCDF, a visiting scholar at Harvard University, the MD at NSF, senior advisers in government-affiliated institutions, and many more), who sought guidance for their professional needs, and wrote lovely reviews for me.

Expect clarity of mind, proficiency, and deep understanding, if you are uncertain about apparently complex theoretical and applied aspects of economics/ econometrics/ statistics or have problems in interpretation of results!

✦ For regular curriculum teaching, using examples, graphs, and equations, I explain and narrate apparently complex topics in a way that suit your aptitude. Simplification is used at times so that in due course of time, your involvement and confidence are restored.
✦ For Analyzing the data, I use Stata, SPSS or Nvivo. Emphasis is on choice of methodology, interpreting results and noting limitations. 
✦ During meetings, I take notes and while concluding the session, notes and files are sent to you, so you can concentrate during our communication.
✦ You can ask for the critical evaluation of completed research or the thesis and getting technical instructions: identification of mistakes and concrete suggestions for improvement.

The mentioned fee is for regular discussion on topics, following a course outline.

For guidance in research project, thesis, troubleshooting with the data, data analysis, or discussion only on past examination papers, I will duly communicate the hourly fee, after evaluating your specific needs.

​For contextual guidance in research projects or the thesis, if you feel that I should review your documents—the project or the thesis write-up, data sets, or the past examination papers, etc., we can mutually agree on the time that I would need to for reviewing such documents.

In the complimentary session, we get to know each other and plan when to schedule meetings and how to proceed further. The formal discussion on course contents or on your project will be initiated after this complimentary session.

  • 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.
  • Tell us more about the subject you teach, the topics you like to discuss with students (and possibly those you like a little less).

    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.
  • Did 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 do you think are the qualities required to be a good tutor?

    
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.
  • Provide a valuable anecdote related to your subject or your days at school.

    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.
  • What were the difficulties or challenges you faced or still facing in your subject?

    I am bit skeptical that in last around one decade or so, due to extensive use of digital/ mobile gadgets and social media, we have witnessed that the ability of students to concentrate on academics has adversely been affected. Simultaneously, the habit of consulting books and libraries also witnessed slackness.

  • Do you have a particular passion? Is it teaching in general or an element of the subject or something completely different?

    
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.
  • What makes you a Superprof (besides answering this interview questions :-P) ?

    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 in the Norwegian Database of Scientific publication (NSD); was invited as International guest at Peradeniya International Economics Research Symposium in 2014; worked as a consultant on two contractual projects; and last but not the least, I have 14 International conference proceedings.
