Testimonials

Clinical Animal Behaviour Student:

"I have always struggled with maths and I really would have struggled to have even passed my stats assignment without the help of MASH. With your help though, I ended up getting my highest grade of the whole course!"

Psychology Student:

"I’ve had 3 or 4 appointments with Laura throughout my 3 years at university and each time it was extremely easy to book and to get an appointment within a couple of days. MASH are easy to get hold of and are very responsive to messages."

Clinical Animal Behaviour Student:

"I was very bewildered by statistics on beginning the course and in initial reading. Jamie's help really gave me an idea of the key things to look for and improved my confidence in advance of studying Research Methods."

Animal Behaviour and Welfare Student:

"I had a very weak grasp on statistics before going to MASH for help. Not only did they explain to me which tests I would need to use for my dissertation and why, they also took the time to help me to understand aspects of statistics."

Zoology Student:

"MASH helped me to reach a deeper level of analysis, conclusions and understand limitations of my study. It also made me feel more confident with stats."
