Qualified Tutor with a Doctorate in Psychology and 19 years of academic experience, offering research methods and statistics lessons for undergraduates, postgraduates and adult learners

Alisdair has proofread and offered suggestions for various assignments on my psychology masters for a number of years. As someone who lacks academic confidence, Alisdair's patient, positive and passionate approach to improve students' learning outcomes has been a life-saver for my degree and, at times, my well-being. This is certainly not an approach offered by all tutors. One tutor I saw prior to Alisdair wrecked my confidence in one assignment by focusing too much on its weaknesses. Alisdair will tell you where your strengths are and how to improve upon areas to increase your confidence in the academic writing process.

While I initially contacted Alisdair to help me with a quantitative assignment, since this is his specialist area, he has extensive knowledge across different psychology areas and has helped with other assignments, including neuroscience and my current qualitative dissertation.

Alisdair's proofreading skills are impeccable so you can rest assured that you will be submitting work without any errors. Suggestions to improve areas have likely bunked up my marks, too. Alisdair is also really approachable and efficient- he replies quickly and always completes tasks by the agreed date.

So thanks Alisdair!

Firstly I would like to say alisdair is very friendly and makes you feel at ease. He helped me with my statistics coursework’s as part of my msc degree in clinical psychology. He breaks down all the topics in a way that is understandable and really explains it in detail. He goes above and beyond and shows you diagrams so you really understand the topics. He is such a lovely person and pleasure to work with. I couldn’t recommend him enough. I’ve come back multiple times for lessons because he explains all the topics to me in a way that I understand even better than my lecturer. On my last coursework I got 89% which is well over a 1st! He’s amazing!!!

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Alisdair for over a year, during which time he tutored me with my undergraduate psychology degree. Above all, he has excellent subject knowledge along with the ability to convey complex information in a simple and easy to understand manner. He made light work of SPSS and report writing as well as guiding me to a deeper understanding of psychological concepts. Alisdair’s friendly personality immediately put me at ease and he knew the correct level of challenge to ensure that I gained a good grade for my dissertation. I cannot thank him enough! He is a truly talented tutor - smart, efficient, professional, and comes with my heartfelt recommendation.

I think Alisdair would be a great addition to this site as a psychology tutor, as he has a passion for the subject and is a great teacher.

Alisdair was an amazing Tutor for my daughter. Her A Level tutor went on sick leave the term before her A Level exam, and after an initial couple of one to one meetings, we settled upon a series of Skype tutorials which were brilliant. Alisdair would send key exam questions for my daughter to do prior to the Skype tutorial, and she would send them back to him to mark before their tutorial. The system was so engaging and efficient that she went from a grade D in her mock A Level to a grade A in her actual A Level exam. Alisdair is flexible, personable and very effective. I would totally recommend his services.
