For MBA module support I provide full support in all topic areas. For all students in Dissertations; below are my primary areas of specalisation; however, you may have other areas which I will support; e.g., many students in the 2021/22 season are focusing on Covid as a sub-area; which I do assist with.

- Business & Commerce
- Micro Economics & Behavioral Econ
- Applied Economics
- Marketing, Consumer Behaviour
- Digital Marketing & Social Media
- Entrepreneurship
- Leadership & Management
- Sustainability

I always focus on academic conventions, these follow the same structure of all academic papers and dissertations no matter the subject. A good dissertation should have these areas covered:

- What is the research question?
- Why is it important?
- What existing literature on the topic?
- What is your theoretical and hypotheses (in some cases)?
- What is the methodology used?
- What did you find?
- How does your finding compare to your theory, hypothesis and the existing literature?
- What are your conclusions?

All dissertations should have standardised referencing techniques used and the narrative should flow in engaging propose towards well-developed positions which move the dissertation forward.

My goal is to motivate you and to ensure that your time is used effectively, to give you a push when you need it or a gentle coaxing when you are hitting a rough patch. I believe as your tutor that we are in this together, and while I cannot do the dissertation or assignment for you, I can be a guide. Tutors have been used for centuries by royalty, and now, in 2020, the service is now far more widely available, so you can also gain the advantage of having a tutor.

In terms of methodology, I can assist with STATA for quants analyses; along with case studies and narrative analyses. I have expertise in a range of social science topics in particular behavioural economics and well-being, which is my research focus.

- Mid-Career and Mature Students
Many of my students are MBA candidates from top universities, in powerful positions at their companies. Others are new learners, trying to consolidate their life experience with academic theory and practice. I welcome your expertise and experience and provide a respectful and rigorous learning experience to supplement your education and guide you towards successful academic performance.

- Disabled Students Welcome
If you have learning disabilities such as dyslexia, anxiety, depression or other conditions, I am able to provide support; please be open with me about this if you feel comfortable. In most cases academic performance is never hindered with proper support. I will assist you to achieve your goals and by becoming an independent learner.

- All Are Welcome
I love diversity and I support all students, no matter their nationality, age, ethnicity, religion, gender identification, sexuality, disability, favourite colour, or anything else for that matter. Your academic contribution, well-being and academic development are my only concerns. Our tutoring sessions are a safe space.
