We Can make the difference
NimaI went from 43% in first year to receiving a masters offer at the LSE! Having almost failed my first year I decided to get tutoring from The Profs in my second year. Thanks to the brilliant quality of the tutors I managed to score a 1st in my second year and receive an offer for the LSE Masters in Management. A big thank you to The Profs.

Research Methods Tutors: Frequently Asked Questions
How are The Profs' undergraduate Research Methods tutors selected and vetted?
The Profs operates one of the most demanding selection processes in UK private tutoring — only 3% of applicants are accepted. Every Research Methods tutor for undergraduate students meets the following standards before being matched with a student:
- All tutors hold a university degree; 98% hold postgraduate qualifications and 45% hold doctorates
- All tutors have a minimum of two years' teaching or supervision experience, with the average experience exceeding 10 years
- All tutors undergo identity verification and are subject to an enhanced DBS check plus KYC checks
- Many tutors are current or former university lecturers, dissertation supervisors, or research-active professionals in fields such as Psychology, Sociology, Economics and Health Sciences
- Each tutor is vetted specifically against undergraduate Research Methods modules, assessment types (e.g. coursework, project, viva) and the student’s department requirements
What practical experience do The Profs' Research Methods tutors bring for undergraduate modules?
Undergraduate Research Methods teaching requires both methodological rigour and familiarity with departmental assessment. Our tutors deliver:
- Deep subject knowledge across quantitative and qualitative methods, experimental design, statistics (SPSS, R), survey design, interviewing and thematic analysis
- Hands-on experience with marking criteria, dissertation and project formats, and common pitfalls in undergraduate assessments
- A structured tuition approach that builds research literacy, academic writing for methods sections, and reproducible analysis workflows rather than rote techniques
- Adaptation to the student’s discipline (for example Psychology versus Business Research) and to their preferred software and data types
Lessons are designed to develop independent research skills, improve data interpretation and strengthen confidence in submitting coursework and project work on time.
How much progress can an undergraduate student make with Research Methods tuition?
The Profs reports that 93% of undergraduate students working with us report a grade improvement.* Progress is tracked and structured, with tutors focusing on:

- Improving academic writing for methods and results sections, and developing robust analysis plans
- Enhancing time management and project planning to avoid last-minute crises on dissertations and projects
Most students work with The Profs across a full term or for the duration of a project to see sustainable, measurable improvement rather than short-term fixes.
