One-to-one NVivo tuition for undergraduate, master’s and doctoral students, qualitative researchers and professionals. De Staic Research offers practical, individual support online or face to face in London, tailored to your project and level of experience.
Sessions combine help with the software and discussion of the research decisions behind its use. Our applied research experience includes interviews, focus groups, surveys and evaluation in healthcare, higher education and workplace settings.
What can NVivo tuition cover?
Getting started: setting up a project, importing transcripts and other research materials, organising files and understanding the workspace.
Coding your data: creating and reviewing codes, coding interview and focus group material, retrieving extracts and developing a manageable coding structure.
Organising participants and comparisons: working with cases, classifications and attributes, and exploring similarities and differences between relevant groups.
Exploring and documenting your analysis: using queries appropriately, keeping analytical notes and memos, and exporting material to support your reporting.
Learning qualitative analysis as well as the software
NVivo helps you organise and explore research material; the interpretation remains the researcher’s work. Tuition can help you connect software tasks with your chosen analytical approach, including thematic analysis, and distinguish coding from developing and interpreting themes.
We can discuss how your research questions, study design and analytical approach should shape your use of NVivo. Sessions also provide space to consider context, reflexivity and how to support interpretations with evidence from your data.
Support with your dissertation or research project
You can work with your own suitably anonymised research materials where appropriate, or focus on learning the software before collecting data. The aim is to help you undertake, understand and explain your own analysis, with support matched to your stage of study.
Corporate NVivo training for small staff groups
We offer tailored NVivo training for small groups of staff in corporations and other organisations, delivered online or in person. Sessions can be adapted to your team’s existing skills, software version and practical research or analysis needs. Training can use relevant examples or your organisation’s suitably anonymised materials, by agreement. Contact us to discuss your group size, learning objectives, preferred location or online format, and a tailored quotation.
How sessions work
Contact us with a brief description of your project, your experience of qualitative research, your deadline, and your NVivo version and operating system. We can then discuss the session focus, arrangements and fees before you book. Please do not send identifiable participant data in your initial enquiry.
