Thesis Design: lessons from a Published Policy Researcher and UoE Philosophy student in Edinburgh

Matthew has never met a stranger. I got to know him through Superprof as my philosophy tutor, and from the very first session he created a comfortable and engaging space. Despite my being mentally fried and anguished from dense readings & looming deadlines, his tutoring style carried me through the murky depths of first sem without the passive aggressiveness of most tutors. When motivation dips, Matthew somehow helps you push through by a sheer tyranny of will, keeping sessions focused but encouraging, and most importantly— keeping you accountable!

Thanks Matty!!

Met Matthew as a flatmate, and within the first five minutes we were out for a meal together; Matthew is very approachable and has consistently proven to be a reliable friend. Given his understanding character and overall optimistic attitude towards life, I quickly find myself confiding in him when I struggle. His immense curiosity earned him a great expanse of knowledge, anything from philosophy and religion, to social media ethics. And his impeccable dedication to his work makes him exemplary in his understanding of approaching university curriculum.

Matthew is patient, kind, and really knowledgeable on a variety of subjects. 9/10

Matthew was a great fit for my teenager and made essay writing feel much more manageable.

He explained things clearly, gave practical feedback, and helped build confidence rather than just fixing the work for them. We saw real improvement in structure and clarity, and my teen actually felt more comfortable approaching writing assignments.

I’d happily recommend Matthew to other parents.
