UniMelb Science Tutor Lucy

🧠 Psychology | Developmental Neuroscience | Statistics Support 📊 Postdoctoral Researcher (UNSW) | PhD – University of Melbourne (2025) Hi! I’m Lucy. I’m a postdoctoral researcher in psychology at UNSW with a background in developmental neuroscience and a strong passion for teaching research methods and statistics. I completed my PhD at the University of Melbourne (2021–2025) and was awarded the Dean's Award for Excellence in Graduate Research upon completion. I previously completed Honours in Psychology (thesis mark: 94) in 2020 after finishing a BA majoring in Psychology (2017–2019), both at Unimelb as well. Since finishing Honours in 2021, I have worked as an academic tutor for several psychology statistics and research methods courses, including the Honours-level subject Advanced Design and Data Analysis. I enjoy helping students develop confidence with statistics, understand complex concepts clearly, and apply them effectively in assignments and research. I have also supervised Honours students on their research projects, so I can provide guidance on study design, data analysis, thesis structure, and academic writing. ━━━━ 📈 Tutoring & Consultation ━━━━ Hourly rate (Zoom): $90 I can help with: • Statistics for psychology (concepts + interpretation) • R / SPSS support • Research design and methodology • Understanding statistical outputs • Assignment preparation • Honours thesis guidance I aim to make statistics intuitive and practical, rather than overwhelming. ━━━━ ✏️ Proofreading & Thesis Feedback ━━━━ I provide detailed proofreading using Microsoft Word Track Changes, so all edits are visible and easy to review.
