About Me
I left full time academia to be my own boss in 2017. I now tutor students privately and run my own social and market research consultancy.
Tutor Experience
After completing my PhD, I taught research methods (including introductory and advanced quantitative methods) for four years as a full-time Teaching Fellow and Associate Lecturer in the Sociology Department at the University of York.
I convened a 150 student Social Research Methods module for 3 years and set and marked undergraduate and postgraduate coursework and assignments on a variety of different topics relating to research methods, SPSS, and data analysis. I've marked thousands of pieces of undergraduate coursework, as well as Masters coursework using advanced data analysis methods, such as regression,cluster analysis, factor analysis and many more.
As a supervisor at York I supervised around 40 undergraduate dissertations, and about 10 Masters dissertations. A good proportion of these students achieved 1st and starred 1st grades.
As a private tutor over the past two years I have tutored over 1000 hours with University students, University staff and professionals. Most of this work has been focused on helping undergraduate and postgraduate students with research methods and statistical analysis in SPSS.
I remain an active researcher within academia. My areas of scholarly interest are health, food, and quantitative and innovative methods. Two of the academic articles I have published in peer reviewed journals are listed below. The first paper in the list below was nominated for and awarded the Sociological Research Online award for Excellence and Innovation.

Client Reviews
Paul is very helpful as usual :)
Claudia - SPSS
Paul is an amazing tutor! He provided me with many useful and helpful suggestions for my work which is clear and easy to understand.
CASSIE - Psychology
I cant thank Paul enough for giving me the confidence with my studies. I hit a brick wall with SPSS and using an online tutor was a last resort before giving up my study. One lesson with Paul has put me back on track. We covered so much in a short time, but with full explanation and discussion of the areas I struggled with. I would highly recommend him, and am likely to use his tuition again. Thanks Paul!
Claire - Psychology
Very thorough and extremely helpful
Tamara - Quantitative Methods
I am so grateful for Paul's help, he is a clear and concise teacher. I have learnt how to run statistical analysis in SPSS and also how to interpret their outputs. Paul also helped me understand how to write out the statistical outputs as well for a psychology report I am writing. Thank you Paul, I could not recommend him more!
Laura - SPSS
Fantastic class, Paul is extremely patient and breaks things down into easy to understand steps. SPSS is something I struggle with and Paul made our session very enjoyable. I feel much more confident understanding my outputs and running further analysis. I found being asked to think ahead to how I would write up each step in my results section really helpful, I now feel really positive about my ability to continue with my work.
Shona - Psychology
Paul was clear and concise and checked in regularly to ensure I was following what is happening. I can now run t-tests in SPSS!
Laura - SPSS

Testimonials
Current MSc Psychology student Christopher Panter:
"I am currently completing an MSc Psychology conversion course as a distance learner. Quantitative analysis was not something that was covered in depth during my undergraduate degree and being dyslexic numbers were not my forte. I was receiving very little support from my university so decided to seek some private guidance. The support I received from Paul was impeccable! He guided me through every stage with an abundance of patience, making me feel confident enough to really engage and get the most out of each session. Nothing was ever too much and Paul went above and beyond to help me reach my full potential. Thanks to Paul I achieved a merit in an assignment I believed I was doomed to fail and I now plan on carrying out quantitative research for my dissertation."
Former student Ellen Jackson, whose grade went from a 2:2 to a high 2:1:
"I highly recommend Paul Chappell, he is very approachable and friendly but more importantly he is extremely knowledgeable around SPSS and Stats offering the correct support tailored to each individual. I would not have graduated without him."
Former student at University of York, who was awarded First Class Honors [With Distinction]:
"I was taught by Dr. Paul Chappell as both an undergraduate and as a postgraduate student at the University of York where Paul taught social research methods, including advanced quantitative methods using SPSS. Paul is an exceptional teacher. His demonstrations of statistical techniques are not only clear, authoritative and comprehensive, but are a genuine pleasure to attend – a sentiment shared by all my cohort. Paul is professional, friendly and approachable and his enthusiasm for the subject is infectious. He is an authority on the application of both traditional and innovative methods of social research and communicates his knowledge of the subject cogently to students at undergraduate and postgraduate level. I feel privileged to have been taught by Paul – and I can’t speak highly enough of him as a teacher, and as a colleague. I am convinced that students at all levels will find his tuition invaluable."
