Since 2006 I have provided support to individuals from a range of backgrounds, including students studying social sciences, life sciences and humanities. My experience extends to helping employees with their data analysis. If you are struggling to interpret your analysis, or need help using SPSS, or if you want to understand more about statistics then please do get in touch.

Feedback:
Below are some examples of student and parent feedback that I have received across various sites:
Lisa (Lily) 5/5
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.
Michelle (Sammy) 5/5
An excellent tutor - patient, kind, encouraging, and well organised with great resources. We used Alisdair`s services both for one to one sessions and online in the run up to my daughter`s A-levels when she experienced a pre-exam confidence crisis. She found him to be an effective and empathetic tutor, with an obvious enthusiasm for his subject. We really appreciated Alisdair`s experience, which enabled him to work out how best to support my daughter and get her back on track. Alisdair was incredibly helpful, and very flexible in his scheduling of sessions. A`levels are now over, and I am sure that Alisdair`s help made a huge difference. Highly recommended!
Jeremy 5/5
Alisdair helped me with my final major project, both with the statistics, and the academic writing. I was very happy to achieve a first for the project and I can`t thank him enough for his help. I learned a lot with his tutoring, and improved my understanding of statistics and my academic writing. I now feel more confident going into my Msc next September. He was very fast at responding to my questions and emails, and was always very positive and helpful.
Nicki 5/5
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.
Mark 5/5
Alisdair is an exceedingly knowledgeable, friendly and patient tutor who responds promptly and with amazing clarity on even the most complicated of SPSS issues. He has a great understanding of the planning and organisational problems associated with dyspraxia, and was of enormous help to my son during his MSc project, keeping him calm and giving advice where needed. I only wish we had discovered him earlier! My son has achieved a Distinction at Masters level, and without Alisdair's reassuring and friendly discussions I don't think he would have managed to even finish his project. I would recommend Alisdair highly as a tutor.
Maha 5/5
The best tutor ever, he makes everything so clear and he trying his best to make sure I understood what we had in the session and clearly he is so kind as person and tutor!

A final note…

I have a real appreciation for how people learn and am able to adapt my teaching to different learning styles. I try to make lessons informative and fun, ensuring that the student takes an active part in the lesson. I feel my academic experience has given me the necessary skills to help students reach their full academic ability.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Alisdair.
Perfect! I’ve used the services of Alisdair on a number of separate occasions whilst facing various statistical analysis challenges on a Masters course that required a series of tutoring sessions. Despite my complete unfamiliarity with the subject I found Alisdair to be very understanding, friendly and patient. He’s been happy to support and guide me at the depth I required (e.g. walking me through a complex area step-by-step with explanations etc). He has also used his academic experience to provide useful resources as well as suggestions for structure and content on my assignments. Appointment day & times and session lengths were all flexible, and he was reliable and always fair with costs. I highly recommend this service and I intend to use it again myself later on in my course.
Perfect! Doctorate in Counselling Psychology
I reached out to Alisdair to help me with my thesis's data analysis, viva preparation, and discussing my minor corrections. Alisdair has been so supportive and helpful. His teaching style and guidance have been so outstandingly clear, effective, and empowering. He gently and clearly communicates his ideas and thoughts, and is open to discussions. He is so warm, inviting, friendly, and approachable, you feel that he really cares about your success and only wants the best for his students.
He has helped me build my confidence in my skills as a researcher. I am generally a very anxious person and not once did I feel uncomfortable or uneasy, as I did previously with many tutors. He has helped put my mind at ease and be confident.
I am eternally grateful for all your help and time, Alisdair. As someone else mentioned above, I would have happily paid double for our sessions; they were so valuable to me. A massive massive thank you. I would definitely recommend Alisdair to anyone struggling or needing extra help with their Psychology work.

My son is part of the Covid-19/2020 year and missed out on sitting his A-level in Psychology. It is his least favourite subject and found it a struggle, especially with the statistics. Alisdair spent quite some time learning about my son's course work so far, weaknesses and strengths and how my son learns the best. We really appreciated Alisdair's structured tutorials, set home works and thorough planning - and interesting discussion about Psychology! The tutorials gave my son focus during these strange few months in preparation for possible exams in the autumn. Thank you!

HIS GUIDANCE AND SUGGESTIONS HAVE HELPED ME ENORMOUSLY AS STUDYING WITH THE OU IS QUITE A LONELY EXPERIENCE, AND HE PUSHED ME TO STICK WITH IT AND I'M SO GLAD HE DID.

Subject : Psychology

Perfect! Fantastic Guy, and a great Tutor
I am just completing my Thesis for my Masters in Criminology and Forensic Psychology. I have been completing a mixed methods study, and struggling with SPSS. It would be fair to say that I must have read Andy Fields manual twice, and still had issues with the data analysis. I have had a few lessons with Alisdair and he has been nothing short of fantastic.
Alisdair has great communication skills, he is friendly supportive and incredibly patient. At no point did I feel that I was asking a stupid question, and at the end of each session I came away significantly more skilled than when I started. As for value for money, well I would have paid double what he charges, I have loved using this platform, and will no doubt be back for more.
Alisdair thank you for your time, and guidance, it has been nothing short of exceptional
Subject : Psychology
Outcome : I now have a far greater understanding of SPSS- Alisdair's response :A massive thank you for the wonderful review Andy. I'm very pleased I could help, All the best for the future!
Perfect! Alisdair was very patient and well organised. Over the last few months, even when I brought work that Alisdair had no prior notice of, he always had time to go through it with me. Having identified the areas that I was weakest at in psychology he really helped me to strengthen and fully understand them. I would highly recommend Alisdair to any prospective A-level psychology student.
- Alisdair's response :Thank you Joanna. Your knowledge and skills in Psychology have developed very well over these months and your dedication and work ethic is very strong. Good luck with your future studies!
Perfect! Brilliant tutor, highly recommended!!
Alisdair helped me with a MSc-level statistics/SPS project. Easily the best statistics teacher I've ever had, I learned more in just a few lessons with him than i learned in my entire undergrad. I got a Distinction grade on that project! Thank you Alisdair.
Outcome : Distinction- Alisdair's response :Great news, am so pleased for you! Glad I could help and well done :)

Outcome : Alisdair helped me understand and complete SPSS analysis on a Masters project. It's the first time I ever understood regression tbh- Alisdair's response :A huge thanks for the amazing feedback Marianne. Wish you the best for your studies. Thank you :)
Perfect! It was absolutely helpful!
I was looking for a personal tutor for my stats course at university. I started my masters program in Cognitive neuroscience.
His session was very helpful when I was doing my assignment for the stats class, since sometimes you don't know which analysis you should use and also it is not easy to interpret the outcome of SPSS.
What I've learned from him was not just how to run SPSS, but also how to think like a researcher as well, which is extremely important to me because I want to do a PhD.
I also really liked his teaching style (professional and friendly)! I absolutely enjoyed learning with him, and will definitely book his lesson again! Thank you very much, Ali :)
Subject :
Outcome : I received good marks of the assignment I worked with him!- Alisdair's response :Thank you very much Manami for the very kind feedback, am very pleased you received a good grade :)

Prior to have some lessons with Alisdair, self-doubt was prevalent, procrastination and a great sense of isolation and dread.
Alisdair supported me with SPSS mainly and report writing for my MSc and he was phenomenal.
Patient, supportive, motivating and really understands you and how you learn, which speaks wonders.
I 100% recommend Alisdair and save up, as he is worth every pound.
I will be contacting him in the near future when I am on my next project.

I contacted Alisdair in a bit of a mess! And with only 10 days left to go on my psychology degree... he was a great help to me. I honestly don’t think I could have submitted my dissertation without him! His knowledge of SPSS and data interpretation was a life saver! I truly believe he went above and beyond in my time of need and I will forever be thankful for all his help and guidance. He also helped me to improve on an essay I was due to submit, identifying areas for improvement so I could hopefully bump up my grade %! I just wish I’d have found him at the start of my degree! If I decide to take a masters course in September Alisdair will be my first port of call as I am confident that with his support and guidance that i will achieve my full potential. I would recommend his services to any student!

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
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.
