"Make more people aware of the service! It is a fantastic resource!"

1:1 Stats Appointment - PGT MVLS Student, 2024.

"The one on one teaching provided by Dr Vazanellis has been invaluable. Dr Vazanellis is passionate and enthusiastic about statistics and R, and inculcates the same enthusiasm in his students. He is both attentive and supportive, and tailors his sessions to meet the individual needs of his students. As someone who did not previously use R, my skills have improved significantly through these teaching sessions."

"Thank you so much for all of your help this year! I wouldn’t have been able to make the prettiest graphs, pass statistics or get a First class in my dissertation without you! Thanks for everything!"

1:1 Stats Appointment - UG MVLS Student, 2024.

"Cannot thank the staff and tutor enough for their help. Very friendly, always makes time for you and explains things in a way that are easy to understand. Very enthusiastic too."

1:1 Stats Appointment - UG MVLS Student, 2025.

"I must first say that the stats class today at St Andrew was very insightful. My specific take home is that the mean tilts towards the skewed or longer tail. That's alongside with some other things that come like a speedy hack to me."

"I got a B on my resit! Thank you for all of your help, I really appreciate everything you did for me. It helped me so much, you're amazing!"
