My name is Amélie Dumarcher, I'm a researcher in geography, regional development and political science. Since 2017, I have been providing training and consultations in the use of MaxQda, a qualitative and mixed methods research software, as well as more general training on the design, methodology and conduct of research projects involving the analysis of qualitative and mixed data.
Terre des hommes is a Swiss humanitarian organisation working in 34 countries to promote children's rights. We adopted MAXQDA to help improve the quality and efficiency of our studies and evaluations in the field. Amélie supported us in the training of our multinational staff and perfectly adapted her teaching to our needs and constraints. We don't operate in an academic setting, but in a very specific operational one, and Amélie demonstrated great flexibility and an ability to understand the constraints typical of the humanitarian world, taking into account our institutional framework, our procedures and our working methods, understanding our questions and helping us to produce high-quality work within the limits inherent to our context. She provided us with invaluable advice, and with relevant and considerate technical support, which enabled us to initiate the deployment of MAXQDA at organisational level. We really appreciated the pedagogical quality of her content, and thanks to Amélie we gained the confidence and motivation we needed to initiate the deployment of a tool at global level.

If Amélie has one quality, it is her ability to listen to everyone's needs. So well that when you are part of a group of student researchers with individual needs, she has that comforting adaptability that frees up speech and invites timely accuracy. People who really know how to listen are so rare ... For example, when it comes to the use of the MAXQDA tool (of which she has a very operational knowledge), there is not a single piece of advice that is the same as another, for she takes into consideration the methodological design of each participant. You can thus take full advantage of the precise answers given to your own needs as well as those of others. And finally, Amélie knows how to be available with a great reactivity. And for a PhD student who is always in a hurry, this is a real godsend!
