Tutoring
I provide one-to-one and group statistics tutoring for undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as researchers seeking deeper understanding of statistical methods. My focus is conceptual clarity, practical application, and building confidence.
My philosophy
Statistics can feel abstract and intimidating. My approach is patient, structured, and grounded in real examples. I focus on breaking complex ideas into manageable concepts, building understanding step by step, and encouraging questions without judgement. As a PhD-trained statistician with experience in government and research, I understand both the theory and its real-world application.
Understanding Statistical Concepts
My goal is not just to help you get the right answer, but to help you understand why a method works and how to interpret results confidently.
- Probability and inference
- Hypothesis testing and interpretation
- Regression models (linear, GLMs, mixed models)
- Assumptions and diagnostics
- Interpreting uncertainty
Applying Statistics in R
I help you connect theory to practical implementation.
- Data cleaning and structuring
- Building and interpreting models
- Visualising results
- Debugging code
- Making analysis reproducible
Research & Thesis Support
I do not complete assessed work for students, but I provide guidance to help you develop your own understanding and analytical confidence.
- Study design and sampling advice
- Power analysis
- Choosing appropriate models
- Interpreting outputs
- Reviewing draft methods sections
Feedback from students
“Always had a great attitude and a willingness to explain things again or in a different way to help students understand. His passion for the subject makes his tutorials very enjoyable.”
“Lindsay simplified ideas into understandable and manageable concepts. He was somehow able to take the week of lectures (that I struggle to follow) and communicate the ideas in an understandable way. Furthermore, he was able to make statistics interesting and definitely less daunting. I do not know where I would be without Lindsay. In my opinion, he is the greatest asset this course has and is the reason I am even capable of doing as well as I am doing.”
