Supporting undergraduates, postgraduates, early career researchers and academics to excel in academic research and writing.
If you’re looking for support with your research and writing skills, you have come to the right place. Let me tell you a little more about me…
I have extensive experience of teaching higher education students of different levels, including undergraduates and postgraduates, both UK and international students, including via distance learning. I have delivered lectures, seminars and tutorials; marked essays, exams, dissertations and PhD theses; and designed, tested and developed teaching tools and materials for a range of subjects. I also have considerable research and publication experience (see the ‘About’ page), so, I have a strong understanding of academic expectations, standards and requirements, and I use this knowledge and experience to provide the most valuable support for you.
Intuition provides support for students and academics from across the globe and from different backgrounds, cultures and age groups, with differing interests and needs.

Undergraduates.
Gain confidence and reassurance through one-to-one support with planning, researching, structuring, writing, critical thinking, analysis and referencing.
The range of subjects, assignments and examinations undertaken during a degree can feel daunting and can overshadow the exciting and enriching university experience.
Intuition offers the guidance and support needed to untangle the web of assignments, helping you to manage your time, organise your commitments and develop your skills. Support can be provided with planning assignments, structuring essays and exam answers, researching and conducting reviews of the literature, writing and presenting academically, or referencing and compiling bibliographies.
Having a one-to-one coach to guide you through your work can provide an enormous confidence boost and make a vast difference to the marks achieved during your degree. Many students arrive at their third year, still with questions about their assignments and how they should be conducting them. A one-to-one coach can provide reassurance about what you are doing right, whilst offering guidance and support on how to improve.
Postgraduate students and researchers.
Develop your skills and knowledge through coaching in research design, secondary and empirical data collection, structuring, writing and editing theses.
Engaging in extensive empirical research can be complex and overwhelming and a little support and guidance can make a huge difference. Intuition provides international and domestic Masters and PhD students with assistance in every stage of the process.
You can receive guidance and support with designing research, conducting literature reviews, collecting and analysing data, as well as with structuring, writing and editing your dissertations and theses. In addition, support with upgrade, viva and conference preparation is provided, to help equip you with the knowledge, skills and confidence to present your work to a variety of different audiences.
International students.
Receive one-to-one guidance and advice to support you in an academic environment where English is not your first language.
International study is an exciting and valuable experience for many students, but it can also be challenging. In addition to academic expectations, for instance, international students may have additional considerations around language and culture.
Intuition offers one-to-one support to international students to help provide a comfortable and relaxed environment where you can work through your assignments and research at a pace that suits you. By discussing your work, asking questions and receiving support with your work, you can gain confidence and excel academically.
PhD graduates and early career academics.
Kick-start your academic career with support and encouragement to guide you through the publication process.
The PhD is a major achievement and an important contribution to knowledge, but the requirement to produce prominent and influential academic outputs rarely ends with the writing of the thesis. Many early career researchers are keen to develop their academic portfolios as quickly as possible, especially where quality publications are an increasingly necessary requirement of their academic careers and progression. Intuition can help.
You may be in the early stages of your career, juggling an increasingly heavy workload and struggling to produce publications. Having an academic coach can help you to manage your time and expectations, provide you with support in developing publications from existing research, including the PhD, or give you a little assistance with the design and conduct of further research for publication.
