Experience:
My expertise and experience are much greater than you are likely to get with many other private tutors. My background is in Psychology (BSc) and Sociology (MA and PhD) but I`ve taught students from a variety of different social science backgrounds on the following modules (as well as many others) as a full-time Teaching Fellow and Associate Lecturer at the University of York:

Undergraduate Social Research Methods
Introduction to Quantitative Methods
Advanced Quantitative Methods

I convened a 150 student Social Research Methods module for 3 years and set and marked undergraduate and postgraduate coursework and assignments on a variety of different topics relating to research methods, SPSS, and data analysis. I`ve marked thousands of pieces of undergraduate coursework, as well as Masters coursework using advanced data analysis methods, such as Regression, Cluster Analysis and Factor Analysis.

As a supervisor at York I have supervised around 40 undergraduate dissertations, and about 10 Masters dissertations. A good proportion of these students have achieved 1st and starred 1st grades.

I also remain an active researcher within academia. My areas of scholarly interest are health, food, and quantitative and innovative methods. Some of the recent academic articles I have published in peer reviewed journals include:

, P., Tse, M., Zhang, M. and Moore, S., 2017. Using GPS Geo-tagged Social Media Data and Geodemographics to Investigate Social Differences: A Twitter Pilot Study. Sociological Research Online, 22(3), pp.38-56.

Jenkins, L., Cosgrove, J., , P., Kheder, A., Sokhi, D. and Reuber, M., 2016. Neurologists can identify diagnostic linguistic features during routine seizure clinic interactions: results of a one-day teaching intervention. Epilepsy & Behavior, 64, pp.257-261.

Uprichard, E., Nettleton, S. and , P., 2013. ‘Food hates’ over the life course: an analysis of food narratives from the UK Mass Observation Archive. Appetite, 71, pp.137-143.

On top of all this, I`m also very friendly, approachable, and keen to help! Also modest. Get in touch and we can discuss how I can support you in your studies.
