Morgan Hadley

I have two years of tutoring experience, alongside extensive experience in academic writing through my undergraduate and master's studies, research projects and published work.

I offer one-to-one support for undergraduate and master's students working on essays, literature reviews, posters, PowerPoint presentations and dissertations in neuroscience, psychology and related scientific subjects.

Lessons are tailored to your assignment and the areas you want to improve. I can help with:

Research and critical appraisal
* Understanding assignment questions and identifying relevant research.
* Searching academic databases to find suitable scientific literature.
* Assessing research methods, interpreting findings and recognising study limitations.
* Comparing evidence across studies to develop and support an argument.

Essay planning and structure
* Developing a focused argument that addresses the essay question.
* Organising research and deciding which evidence is most relevant.
* Structuring introductions, main sections and conclusions.
* Using marking criteria to understand assignment expectations.

Academic writing
* Moving beyond description to develop critical arguments.
* Building well-structured paragraphs and linking ideas effectively.
* Synthesising findings from multiple studies rather than discussing each paper in isolation.
* Communicating complex scientific concepts clearly and concisely.

Reviewing and referencing
* Identifying gaps in reasoning, unsupported claims and areas for improvement.
* Improving clarity, flow and academic style through effective editing.
* APA and Vancouver referencing, including in-text citations and reference lists.

My aim is to help you understand what makes good scientific writing and develop the skills to apply it independently. You can work with me online in one-to-one sessions, or send me a piece of writing for review and receive constructive feedback on how to improve it.

If you have an upcoming assignment or a particular area you'd like help with, feel free to get in touch and tell me a little about it.

Academic integrity

My support is focused on teaching, guidance and constructive feedback. I help you develop your own work in accordance with your university's academic integrity policies; I will not write or complete assessed work on your behalf.
