Information about Alisdair

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my profile. My name is Alisdair and I am a part-time tutor with fourteen years experience. Developing and enhancing a student’s learning experience is something I am passionate about. To achieve this, I employ a patient approach to tutoring, ensuring that students have an enjoyable, challenging and interesting experience. My teaching style relies on honesty, dedication and transparency. I aim to offer you a bespoke tutoring service that meets your requirements, be it face to face, or via online technology.

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…
Studying and tutoring for many years has given me experience in realising the pressures that students face, and I’m able to use my awareness and knowledge to motivate learners. 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.

Dr Alisdair is a superb tutor who helped my son pass his Psychology GCSE after I hired him to support my son`s homeschooling studies. My son gained in confidence as Dr Alisdair was very patient with him using his strong subject matter expertise. I strongly recommend Dr Alisdair if you are looking for a Psychology GCSE tutor. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the great review. Really enjoyed working with Josh and wish him and you all the best for the future!

So far I have had two sessions with Alisdair. In my first session, we went over an essay I had written for a university coursework. 2 weeks later I ended up receiving the best grade I have ever achieved on an essay (83%). Allisdair also has loads of experience in data analysis which is extremely beneficial if your dissertation is a quantitative study (which mine is). Overall, looking forward to continuing with my sessions & hopefully getting a first class degree with Alisdair`s help!

Tutors Response :

Thank you so much for the awesome review Zina! Always enjoy working with you and wish you all the best.

Wow where to start? Alisdair got me through my MSc in psychology and supported me in getting a top grade in my thesis! Alisdair is patient, sharp, supportive and funny. No task was too big or question too silly. He comes with the highest recommendation. For anyone looking for stats support, look no further!

Tutors Response :

Thank you for the kind review Cassie! I`ve enjoyed working with you and wish you all the best for the future!

I would HIGHLY recommend booking lessons with Alisdair. Highly, highly recommend. I`ve contacted a number of tutors throughout my Undergrad and Masters degrees and I can confidently say that Alisdair is the best I`ve worked with. He`s professional, yet you can have a laugh with him and he puts you completely at ease. As someone who has anxiety about contacting random people, I felt entirely comfortable with him. I contacted Alisdair to help me with a multinomial regression (SPSS) and he went above and beyond what I was expecting. He took his time (without wasting lesson time), he explained things in a way that made me understand the analysis and he spent over half an hour extra trying to work out a specific problem that I had. He managed to fit me in for a lesson with little notice, which I really appreciated. If it wasn`t for him, I wouldn`t have been able to submit my Masters assignment on time. I said to him that I`ll certainly be contacting him again when it comes time to write my dissertation. Please don`t bother to look at other tutors if Alistair`s profile matches what you`re looking for. Guaranteed they won`t be anywhere near as helpful as him. Thank you!!

Tutors Response :

Thank you so so much for the kind review Denika! Really enjoyed working with you and glad we could get everything sorted :) All the best

Alisdair has been extremely helpful and knowledgable with providing AQA A-Level Psychology tuition. He has been able to explain questions that were difficult and provide insightful advice when answering them to obtain maximum marks! Alisdair also has many resources and full mark essay examples that have helped me improve in psychology! Therefore, I extremely recommend having Alisdair as a tuition teacher as he makes psychology fun to learn!

Alistair is so knowledgeable with SPSS. He is flexible, down to earth with a good sense of humour. Alistair has been an amazing tutor and really flexible with timings/days (he even managed to squeeze me in for an extra session during hand in week!) With a little help I managed to pass my SPSS exam. Something that would have been impossible without his help. I will definitely be seeing Alistair again!

From the moment I met Alisdair I felt at ease and he made light of a very difficult topic. Alisdair was able to turn my needs into a plan that made the work feel enjoyable. His knowledge and insight was amazing and our general discussions each session helped me to conceptualise the project in a way I could learn and grow in the area of psychology. He is easy to book with and always arrives. His communication is also very good. I have more to learn and Alisdair will be my number one choice for a tutor next time. Thank you!

I can`t thank you enough for the very kind review you left Jason. I`ve enjoyed our sessions and I`m looking forward to working with you again in the future. Thanks again. Regards

Honestly speaking I didn`t expect much- however Alisdair went above and beyond my expectations, I was truly lost in my work and I was about to give up I genuinely wouldn`t have finished University without the help of Alisdair. He`s so kind, honest and sweet, he helped me out so much I am forever grateful he makes sure to take time with you and you can tell he is invested in his students as he even worked overtime for me. I 100% RECOMMEND Alisdair to be your tutor. Thank you so much honestly couldn`t have done it without you.

I have found working with Alisdair very helpful as he is able to go into detail and explain aspects of the content as well as linking this to how to answer exam questions. I have particularly found practicing exam questions of my chosen topic area helpful as it gives me the chance to have 1 on 1 feedback and gives me more structure for my essays that I am asked to write in class. Alisdair has helped me understand the exam board (edexcel) better and what they look for as I was struggling with this.

Tutors Response :

Thank you so much for the awesome review Lily and Amanda, I`m enjoying our sessions, and pleased you have found them helpful. Thanks again.

The lesson platform did not work for the tutor so my tuition was 15 late whilst they tried to find an alternative method. This lost time was not offered me to at the end of our appointed time slot. After a late start the tutor engaged in a small talk conversation for a further 15 mins which left very actual study/tuition time. I found the quality of the tuition poor as lacked focus and structure.

Tutors Response :

Dear Sophie, I am sorry the lesson was not to your expectations. Unfortunately that day TutorHunt`s classroom had issues as we were unable to access it as you know, which wasted some time. I can understand your frustration about this, as technical problems are an annoying occurrence in online tuition. Therefore additional time was offered to you at the end of the session and again later that day.
I wish you all the best in your studies and if you want my help in the future, you will be welcomed back. Best wishes Alisdair.

I needed support with an assignment for university. It was easy using Tutor Hunt as they provided the skills the tutor had. I needed someone who had SPSS skills. Alisdair was a great tutor. He listened and understood what I needed to do to pass the assignment. Alisdair supported me by making me understand multiple regression and broke down p-values, t-tests, and the significance of the independent variables used and the dependent variable. Alisdair simplified the outputs from SPSS. I realised that my previous assignment submission was too complicated and that I need to simplify things, thank you Alisdair.

Tutors Response :

A massive thank you for the kind feedback Lisa. Have enjoyed working with you. Hope it all goes well.

Alisdair has been an absolute pleasure to have as a tutor. He helped me greatly with SPSS, both during my bachelors and now during my masters. He is wonderful at explaining how to do the different analyses, why we choose the specific analyses above others, and how to interpret the results. I received a 1st on my bachelors dissertation, and I could not have done it without him! Greatly recommend him :)

As a mature student returning to education (after barely having one), Alisdair was a great find! Also having dyslexia meant that my approaches and application of my academic work need consistent reflection which Alisdair always encouraged.

Alisdair has provided invaluable feedback on my work. I wish I had found him in my first year of university rather than the last as I am sure my work would have improved tenfold! Receiving critique on work is essential for improving and Alisdair does this in a way that is sensitive yet constructive.

Alisdair is also fun to work with, he helps make the stress of studying lessen by applying a dose of perspective (which is easy to lose when you are immersed in your work!).

Although I am somewhat relieved to have completed my degree, I will miss my tutoring with Alisdair as it has been productive and enjoyable! Which, in my opinion, is what learning is really about!

Thank you Alisdair!

Alisdair is a very clever, kind and patient person, he is clearly an experienced tutor and I am so glad I went ahead with tutoring with him. I am dyslexic so so things quite differently and he has adpated to me well in a very short amount t of time. I have a large 170,000 observation dataset and he has made everything much more simple. Thanks

The tuition I received from Alisdair met my needs in every way. The lessons were delivered in a professional, but friendly manner. It was tailored at a level I could understand and gave me a confidence I needed in certain areas. I definitely recommend Alisdair, as a tutor for all SPSS programming needs.
To be honest, He is proficient in the subject which I had some lessons with him and also he is patient and tries to explain you the material step by step so that you can understand it.

Tutors Response :

Thank you very much for the kind words.

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 Alistair highly as a tutor.

After just 10 minutes of conversation I already felt better at the task ahead. Talking it through with someone who knows about SPSS is so much better than watching videos totally unrelated to your investigations.
