# Private Tutoring with Dr. Ciara Ryan
Hello! I’m Dr. Ciara Ryan, an occupational therapy lecturer and researcher with a passion for supporting students in healthcare professions. I’m excited to offer private tutoring services to help you excel in your academic journey and professional development.
## My Background
With over a decade of experience in occupational therapy education, I bring both clinical expertise and academic knowledge to my tutoring. I currently teach at university level, where I lead modules in research methods and healthcare innovation. I completed my PhD at Glasgow Caledonian University, developing interventions for individuals who have had a stroke, and I continue to conduct research in exciting areas like robotics in rehabilitation and technology-enhanced clinical education.
## How I Can Help You
Whether you’re an undergraduate student struggling with a specific module, a postgraduate working on your dissertation, or a healthcare professional looking to develop research skills, I offer personalised support tailored to your unique needs. My areas of expertise include:
– **Academic Writing**: From structuring essays to crafting literature reviews and research proposals, I can help you develop clear, well-organised, and evidence-based academic writing.
– **Research Methods**: Demystifying qualitative and quantitative research approaches, data analysis, and research design
