Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and geospatial analysis

From 44.2 C$ /h

Greetings! I am a geospatial analyst at Transport for London and I specialise in building and running Geographic Information Systems (GIS) through different technologies. As part of my specialisation, I teach and assist early and mid-career geographers with GIS, specifically how to retrieve and create data, run any type of geospatial analysis and interpret the results.

I work in both QGIS and ArcGIS environments and I would be more than happy to help with specific projects the students have in mind, if applicable. Otherwise, I have student-focused study programmes that provide the foundations as well as more advanced knowledge and skills.

Feel free to contact me for a chat!
Extra information
To work in GIS, we need a computer. Students can use their own. However, if they don't have one, we can go through it on my device.

About Me
I'm a geospatial analyst working in the public transportation sector in London, UK. I employ a variety of geospatial tools, including Python and R, to analyse data flows and structures and understand how we can improve the public transport in London.

On the side, I also manage an online nut and dried fruit shop active on Shopify, eBay, Amazon and TikTok. I automate repetitive tasks via Python to save time for research, market expansion and, most importantly, customer service.

My favourite hobby is chess, which I teach in my local club. I also coach kids and novice players.

Greetings! I am a chess coach at the Uxbridge Chess Club in West London and I currently coach kids and teenagers who are looking into improving their game skills. With an ECF ELO score of 1800, I particularly enjoy going through the strategy and tactics surrounding chess, as well as the psychology of the player, which is often deemed to play a crucial role in the outcome of a game.

When coaching, I always employ a player-focused strategy. Indeed, I believe that the most efficient way to learn is by letting the individual discover their strengths and potential.

Hi!

Welcome to my class on Python programming! As a PhD student in Geophysics my main tool is my computer. In order to do science one needs to know how to program. I use Python everyday in order to analyze data, run numerical models, plot results and much more. So, let's embark on the journey of learning Python and explore its diverse capabilities together!

For beginners:
I have designed it for absolute beginners to become at ease with the language within 5 sessions of 1h. Message me to know the 5 classes curriculum and I will be more than happy to share it with you!

For intermediate users:
If you already know the basics of Python but want to go more in-depth on certain packages this is the right place! Message me and we can discuss what your needs are! I am a professional user of Numpy, Pandas, Matplotlib, os, scipy and many more packages!

Are you not sure Python is the right language for you? Check the following out and let me know if you have any questions!

First of all, what is Python? According to its creator, Guido van Rossum, Python is a:

“high-level programming language, and its core design philosophy is all about code readability and a syntax which allows programmers to express concepts in a few lines of code.”

Learning Python is a rewarding experience for several reasons. Firstly, Python is inherently beautiful as a programming language, offering a natural and expressive way to translate your thoughts into code. Its readability and simplicity make coding an enjoyable and intuitive process.

The Python language finds applications across various domains, including data science, web development, machine learning and AI. For example, platforms like Quora, Pinterest, and Spotify leverage Python for their backend web development!

This versatility makes Python a powerful tool for those eager to delve into different aspects of programming. If this caught your curiosity message me and I'll make you a Python hero! Welcome to the community!

Hi, I'm Polly! I graduated with a first-class BA in Geography from the University of Oxford and I am about to start my MA at SOAS University of London. My experience includes teaching English in China for a year, over four years tutoring Geography from KS3 to undergraduate level, and teaching A-level Geography at an international school.

Geography is more than just maps; it's the study of the world and how humans interact with it, making it essential for understanding our interconnected planet and the challenges we face. This class ranges from physical geography, such as Earth's features and natural processes, to human geography, including population, urban development, and cultural landscapes. Students will develop critical skills like map reading, spatial awareness, analytical thinking, and research while exploring global issues such as climate change and sustainability. By learning geography, students gain a deeper appreciation for diverse cultures and environments, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to navigate and address the complex challenges of our world.

As a qualified tutor for the National Tutoring Programme, I've developed strategies to address learning gaps and support students with SEND needs. My expertise covers human and physical Geography, ensuring comprehensive support across a range of topics. I tailor my approach to each student’s needs, focusing on content mastery, exam techniques, and revision strategies, with follow-up exercises to reinforce learning and build confidence.
