I offer online one-to-one (or, where practical, f2f) and one-to-several lessons on essay/thesis/dissertation structure and techniques.

Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to real lessons experienced by the students of Alistair.
Perfect! Have started working with Alistair to brush up on research and analytical skills. Very easy to communicate with, flexible to needs and we have a clear vision of tasks to progress effectively. Highly Recommended.
Perfect! I contacted Al to get some help analysing qualitative data for my dissertation. He was extremely helpful and provided me with the information I needed to proceed in the right direction. He is really easy to talk to, approachable and knowledgeable. He provided me with what I needed and made the information easy to understand. I highly recommend contacting him if you need any help with anything.
Perfect! Alistair is able to give me invaluable additional insight into my own academic process. Helping me to find my own voice in the text, craft arguments, remind me of the importance of grammer, weigh evidence and prove my findings as well as veiw the work from a markers perspective. This has fundamentally changed my approach to my work. In the 5 and a half years i have spent as a university student, i have been unable to find the personal attention and insights that Alastair provides. He is literally the DON.

I worked with Alistair for many years in the university sector and highly recommend him as a tutor. He always went above and beyond whilst teaching on the Journalism and Communication programmes. Alistair has extensive experience as a Professor and has always met the highest teaching standards. He is an inspiring teacher and continually receives positive feedback from his students. He is excellent at supporting students in their academic skills, from research to critical thinking to essay writing. If you are needing any academic support, then I cannot think of anyone better to work with.
I am delighted to provide this recommendation for Al Duff, whom I have known for the past four years through his teaching contributions to the MSc Digital Society programme. During this time, Al has consistently demonstrated exceptional qualities as an educator and colleague.
Al is an engaging and inspiring teacher who has an outstanding ability to communicate complex ideas in ways that are both accessible and intellectually stimulating. His extensive knowledge of digital society, combined with his enthusiasm for the subject, creates a highly positive learning environment that encourages student participation and critical thinking. Students respond extremely well to his teaching and value his expertise, professionalism, and supportive approach.
Al’s commitment to high-quality teaching, together with his deep subject knowledge and excellent interpersonal skills, make him an invaluable contributor to the programme. I recommend him without reservation.I noticed early on that Alistair has a particular gift in teaching. He can take the most complex of topics and break it down to the right size for each individual.
He is also dedicated and genuinely interested in each of his students.
As an active researcher, he is able to bring the benefits of wide ranging interests into his classes.
A true polymath!
I worked with Alistair for a number of years. Notable among many strengths is his ability to make potentially difficult material understandable, re-presenting this material to students clearly and simply, verbally or in writing.
I had the pleasure of working with Alistair for many years. I am happy to say and learned a lot from him and he offered me when I was starting in research a lot of support and guidance. His has a lot of expertise and experience and is very good at passing his knowledge.
Alistair is passionate about making knowledge accessible and purposeful. As part of a programme I run at the Edinburgh Futures Institute I invited Alistair to prepare two expert guest lectures on the area that he has particular expertise - how society uses information, and the rise of mis and distrust of information. His lectures were excellent, full of information, clear, data driven, very well structured and sharing brilliant insights. Having tutor guidance from Alistair would be exceptionally worthwhile as he will make every effort to work with you and to build up your knowledge base and your own expertise.
