Martin Anderson

I offer friendly, structured tuition shaped around the learner’s objectives, existing knowledge and preferred way of learning. My aim is to make difficult material understandable while helping students develop the confidence and independent skills to apply what they have learned.

I am a former Associate Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Northampton, where I taught Research Methods and Statistics and Investigating Psychology, and assisted with Adult Development. My work included preparing teaching materials, supporting students, marking examinations, assignments and presentations, providing feedback and assisting with dissertation work. I hold a First-Class BSc in Psychology, an MSc in Occupational Psychology, an MBA and a Level 4 Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector qualification. I am currently undertaking part-time doctoral research at King’s College London and am the co-author of a published, peer-reviewed academic paper. I also hold a Level 4 Nutrition in Sport qualification and several business qualifications, including an international diploma in Business Analysis.

I support school, college, undergraduate and adult learners. Relevant areas include psychology, research methods, statistics and SPSS, academic writing, study skills, critical evaluation, presentations and dissertation planning. I can also provide support in selected business and management subjects that match my academic and professional background.

Our first session will establish what you want to achieve, where you currently feel confident and where you need additional support. Lessons may combine explanation, discussion, worked examples, practice questions and constructive feedback. I will regularly check understanding and adapt the pace or approach when necessary.

I can review assignment plans and drafts, explain academic feedback and help students improve their reasoning, structure and referencing. I will support the development of your own work rather than write assessed material for you.

Private tuition is normally delivered online in focused one- or two-hour sessions. I also provide professional and corporate training in business analysis, stakeholder engagement, requirements, process mapping, project delivery, Agile working and change management. Workplace training can be delivered online or in person at accessible business premises, as individual workshops or structured multi-day programmes.
