Undergraduate Biosciences (BIO3136) 1:1 tutorials can be booked between 15th January and 26th March 2024.
Need help troubleshooting R? Undergraduate Bioscience students in their final dissertation year are offered one 45-minute appointment with a PGR Stats tutor. Appointments are made available on a week-to-week basis as tutors allocate their time based around their PhD studies.

Use your appointment wisely! Before your appointment, you need to have all your data organised in one R-readable document, such as a spreadsheet; and have tried the statistical test you think you need to do AND identified at which stage of the process you got stuck. The tutors cannot tell you what to do, they can only help you with R troubleshooting!
Cancellations can be made up to 24 hours before the time of your tutorial by emailing the tutor and ASK team. If you miss your appointment without cancelling, you will not be able to book another.
Please contact the ASK team if you have any questions.
Jaimie Barnes
I’m an ecologist and molecular entomologist in training. I completed my bachelors and master’s degrees here in Penryn. I currently study a PhD on the mechanisms of insecticide detoxification in hoverflies. I have ample experience with data analysis and a range of statistics. I can perform simple tests from regressions and t-tests to generalised linear mixed effects models. I also have experience (limited) with survival analysis, GAMs, multinomial regression and KNN analysis. Using R, I can help you analyse your data using the most appropriate methods. Moreover, using ggplot, I can help you visualise your data and results.
Will Singleton
I am an evolutionary biologist with a range of teaching experience. I demonstrate for a range of modules within CLES and I can provide support with data manipulation, statistical modelling and visualisation using R. I can also provide more general research advice regarding study design or effectively interpreting and writing up results, especially important for dissertations. My masters and PhD are investigating the evolution ageing in unicellular life where I have experience using a range of statistical tests, theoretical modelling, and evolutionary simulations. I have also been through the University of Exeter system so I can sympathise with how intimidating maths/stats can be!
Mara Fischer
I am a marine ecologist currently studying the role of fish in sediment carbon storage on continental shelves. I have been using R extensively since my undergraduate degree and can provide help with data manipulation and visualisation as well as a range of statistical tests from simple t-tests to complex mixed effects models. I am also happy to chat through more general things such as interpreting and writing up results.
Ryan Biscocho
I’m a fourth year PhD student studying the evolution of animal genomes. I demonstrate for both undergraduate and postgraduate statistics courses so I hopefully should be able to help with anything you need! I can help with anything from t-tests to general linear models and I can code in different languages so I can help with R, bash scripting and python if needed. I enjoy explaining how stats and coding works so I am more than happy to guide you through things you don’t understand, no matter how basic, and help you with making sense of your data. I am also particularly passionate about data visualisation and so I can help with figures and graph creation.
Luca Hahn
I am a behavioural ecologist interested in cognition, sociality, and culture. As part of my PhD, I investigate the role of social relationships in wild jackdaws, e.g. regarding access to social information. I also completed an MSc in Penryn, studying cooperative nest building in jackdaws.
I have extensive experience with data in R and passionately share it with students in (statistics) modules at BSc and MSc level, as well as in our research group. Therefore, you can rest assured that I am eager to help you with various topics, from handling (large) datasets to statistical analysis (t-tests, mixed models etc.) to data visualisation and interpretation. More specifically, you can also ask me about PCA and social network analysis. I look forward to meeting you!
