About Dan
I offer emergency help for students approaching submission of their assignments or dissertation. Many of my students are mature students, have learning difficulties or are just going through a tough time :)
I think that the best way for you to know more about me and my tutoring style would be to read the reviews that students have left on the platform :) Hopefully, they will help you understanding if I am the right tutor for you! In any case, here below you can find a small summary!
I am currently Research Project Manager in Barcelona starting a PhD in mental health. Below is a list of my publications:
1) Porricelli, D., Happé, F., & Zahn, R. (2024). Individual differences in autonomy and sociotropy in relation to autistic traits, camouflaging and interpersonal functioning. Personality and Individual Differences, 227, 112715.
2) Porricelli, D., Tecilla, M., Pucci, V., Di Rosa, E., Mondini, S., & Cappelletti, M. (2024). Cognitive Reserve Modulates Mental Health in Adulthood.
3) Murray, A., Porricelli, D., Smith Scott, D., Nikolajeva, M., Van Loggerenberg, F., Ougrin, D., & Lau, J. Y. (2025) Children's emerging concepts of resilience: Insights from using body mapping in an East London cohort sample of 7-10-year-old children.
I have completed an MSc in Psychology of Affective Disorders at Kings College London awarded with a high Distinction. I have also completed a BSc in Psychology with Cognitive Neuroscience at Goldsmiths University of London awarded with a First Class Honours. My background is in behavioural psychology, cognitive and clinical neuroscience as well as psychopharmacology and psychological treatments of mood disorders. These are my current publications as a first author:
My BSc dissertation was was awarded with a first class (88) and a nomination for the Experimental Psychology Society (EPS) prize. My MSc dissertation was awarded with a high Distinction (80) and was successfully published.
I offer help with essay/creative writing, lab reports, SPSS/statistics and dissertation write up. Having been a student myself and a tutor for over 6 years I can understand that assignments can be quite anxiety inducing. Having a good support can go a long way.

Do you need help with planning your dissertation or with your assignments (essays, lab reports) and statistics?
I am a Research project Manager based in Barcelona (PhD). I supervise students who do not get enough support from their supervisors for their dissertations (which unfortunately seems quite common). I can help with structure, data analysis, planning and proofreading.
I currently help Bsc and Msc students with their dissertations. I also mark essays and lab reports for university students as part of my PhD and I have also been a tutor for the past 6 years. Currently I have tutored more than 93 University students (BSc, MSc and PhD). I know that a university degree is very tough on the mind of the students and therefore I can offer help and support with planning/writing/statistical analysis for dissertations, writing essays, understanding research methods, writing lab reports, learning to use SPSS (conduct analysis and understand results) and critical analysing of papers. I can also proofread Dissertations/Assignment when required and provide in details comments. This can massively help with the flow of the text.
I have extensive experience in guiding BSc/ BSc foundation year and MSc, MSc conversion students towards their assignments such as essays, critical evaluations of papers, lab reports and dissertations.
Lately I have been working with both mature and younger students on a conversion course, who are struggling understanding Research methods and statistics because they have never done it before. I have also worked with students with learning disabilities.
I love teaching. For me teaching means providing students with those information that can be applied to many topics simultaneously. I do not only provide raw information, but I love to elaborate concepts with the students. I believe that learning is all about understanding. I will be there to help the student fill the gap between the known and unknown, in order to support them in the expansion of their knowledge.
However, I understand that there may be individual differences in how a student may learn, therefore, I am extremely happy to adjust my teaching style based on the students needs. That is because teaching in its higher form is a collaborative process between two people who love the topic they are working on.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience had by the students of Dan.
Deadly! I highly recommend Dan as a tutor, especially for anyone working on a psychology dissertation. With only two weeks left until my deadline, I was incredibly stressed, but Dan was a calm, supportive, and patient presence throughout. He always got my work back to me quickly, usually within a day or two, and gave helpful, constructive feedback that strengthened my dissertation. If you're looking for someone reliable, understanding, and knowledgeable, Dan is an excellent choice.
Deadly! He’s great with clarity, understands the goals you want to reach and goes at your pace. Couldn’t recommend more!
Deadly! Dan is an excellent tutor, highly knowledgable and has a knack for working with neurodiversity. He has helped me immensely with structuring my work with patience and kindness. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone seeking some extra help or feeling overwhelmed. Thank you, Dan!
Deadly! Daniele is a fantastic tutor, very patient and good at explaining concepts in a simple way. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dan to anyone looking for some additional help with their studies
Deadly! Daniele was quick to respond, helpful, and also diligent in assessing whether it would be a good fit to work together. Great communication and checking-in to ensure he was keeping up with when I wanted a lesson and what my expectations were.
Deadly! Dan was incredibly friendly and approachable from the very start. I needed help with my final submission, and he not only ensured I produced a solid piece of work but also meticulously proofread it and guided me throughout the process. His advice helped strengthen my research and clearly convey the points I was trying to make. I highly recommend Dan to any Psychology student: he's knowledgeable, highly experienced, and extremely patient. Thank you again.
Deadly! Fantastic tutor! - I am a BSc Psychology student and needed support with SPSS analysis and general guidance for my Psychology Research Project. Daniele is an exceptional tutor—patient, skilled, knowledgeable, and professional. Although I have only had three sessions with him so far, I already feel much more confident and well-prepared to tackle my dissertation. His clear explanations and practical guidance have significantly boosted my understanding and capabilities. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a tutor. Thank you Daniele, for all your help and support!
- Dan's response :
Thank you so much for all the kind words! I enjoy working together with you and as long as you will need, you can count on me for help :)
Daniele
Deadly! Daniele has been an incredible tutor. Very patient, skilled, knowledgeable and professional!!!! In a very short period of time he has been able to teach me some in depth material. Very blessed to have found him and looking forward to continue learning from him!!! I definitely recommend him!
Deadly! Daniele is great at explaining statistics by using analogies, ensuring I understood everything he covered, and leaving me feeling more relieved and confident! Highly recommend
Deadly! My experience with Dan was very pleasant. He was flexible and replied to my message quickly. He took the time to discuss my work needs and concerns free of charge. He was kind, patient, and very friendly. Dan was also very honest regarding his skills and expertise and we discussed the best possible solutions for me moving forward. Seeing as my needs are very specific to a doctoral topic, Dan recommended I find a tutor who had already completed the doctoral program I am interested in. He, therefore kindly took the time to help me figure out my next steps and the best possible solution for me. Although I did not continue with Dan, I do believe he could have still helped me if I did not require someone with a lot of knowledge on a specific topic. Therefore, I would definitely recommend you reach out to Dan if you want an honest, reliable tutor!
Deadly! Dan helped me with my university work I recommend him highly for tutoring .The learning was highly effective as I understood what he was teaching me more than I have at university.
Deadly! Working with Daniele was a delightful experience. He provided valuable assistance with my research methods assessment, offering guidance and unwavering support. I look forward to seeking his help again soon!
Deadly! Fantastic at working through different sections of a lab report with you, and building knowledge for your next assignments.
Deadly! Dan has a meticulous and easy to follow teaching approach that caters for many different areas such as teaching essay writing structure, study skills and how to plan a piece of writing. He has an approachable and relaxed manner, whilst being efficient and very academically able. Thanks Dan!
- Dan's response :
Deadly! Dan is an excellent tutor. He provided me personalised teaching in my essay writing. He is really patient, engaging. I highly recommend him. He has great knowledge. I can't thank him enough.
- Dan's response :
Excellent! Was open to discussing exactly what the problem I was facing, before jumping into lessons! This was very honest and helpful!
Deadly! Daniele was lovely to work with. He helped me out a lot for my lab report. He’s great on his SPSS and will definitely be able to answer any questions you may have.
- Dan's response :
Deadly! Daniele is an amazing tutor, he was very patient and really went out of his way to help me with my work. I honestly would not have been able to understand and get through SPSS if it wasn't for Daniele. I definitely recommend him as a tutor.
- Dan's response :
Excellent! Great approach to tutoring; dynamic and collaborative to explore my knowledge and build on areas of difficulties within the necessary topic (critical analyses). Thank you!
Deadly! Very helpful at breaking things down and helping me to understand to improve my studying:)
- Dan's response :
Deadly! Goes an extra mile to help you achieve your desired goals
- Dan's response :
Excellent! Daniele he taught me about how to structure essays and overall helped me in writing a good essay
Deadly! It was such a pleasure to have Daniele as my online tutor. Daniele is super friendly, well patient and highly talented in his subject area. He is also very supportive and always ensures that I fully understand the problem I am facing.
I found him reviewing one of my psychology neuroscience assignments, especially my dissertation, which I found Daniele just 2 weeks before my deadline. He still managed to give me excellent valuable feedback under the very tight deadline. Daniele worked super-efficient and was willing to solve any issues in my preferable way.
I highly 100 % recommend Daniel to anyone looking for a psychology tutor ️!- Dan's response :
Deadly! I was unsure of how effective getting a tutor for my MSc Psychology course would be, however, after my first session with Daniele, I was instantly relieved.
Daniele is a gifted teacher. He has the patience, kindess, empathy, and creativity to break down and explain what seemed intimidating technical statistics and neuroscience, into much simpler, digestible concepts that have stuck with me. Daniele uses a variety of teaching techniques to ensure you retain and understand the key points and purposes. The tempo and structure of the classes are efficient and thorough, and you will become privy to a multiverse of mini tips and tricks that when combined will boost your grades significantly. I highly recommend Daniel as the best way to ensure you get the most out of your course and leave no stone uncovered. TDeadly! Daniele has excellent knowledge of his subject area and perfectly placed to tutor, not only because of his own academic achievement, but also because he is working in the field and offering the insight of industry standard practice. His own experience of studying offer insight and empathy which is encouraging and reassuring. He is very patient and is happy to work at my pace and tailor our sessions to what I need. Daniele is also great at teaching efficient ways to work so I am learning things I didn't know I needed to. He is flexible about arranging sessions which is helpful with a busy life and great value for money, which is vital for us poor students!

Daniele is an expert in its craft. He is able to help you with the majority of the content from statistics to psychology to neuroscience. He is able to adapt to your needs and he is always forward about things he may not know. Overall, it has been a very good experience which has enriched me in many ways. Thank you!
I began working with Dan 4 months ago when I started my master’s in Applied Neuroscience at KCL. I was new to the field and felt a bit lost and overwhelmed preparing for my first assignment. I have continued to meet with Dan before each assessment (both essay submissions and exams). Thanks to Dan’s support, I have received a Distinction on every single one.
Beyond his practical support, tailored to each module and assignment, Dan has provided me with invaluable “macro” level guidance on how to succeed in my master’s. From research skills to time management and writing style, Dan always brings “golden nuggets” of wisdom to our sessions which I will carry forward in all my future endeavours.Daniele is an amazing tutor. He is kind, patient (which is essential if you have ADHD or you are a more mature student) and always tries to get the best out of you. He has proofread many of my assignments and has always provided useful feedback that allowed me to get better and better. He has also helped me prepare for my statistics exams. His aim is to allow you to be more and more independent so that you won’t need a tutor (or his help) anymore in the future. Highly recommended.
I completed the Affective Disorders MSc with Daniele Porricelli. We both passed with Distinction. :) I’ve also held one-on-one and study group meetings with him in preparing for assignments. He’s very focused, adept and diligent, and possesses remarkable curiosity as well as clarity of mind. As he has been a great peer to work with, I highly recommend him as a tutor.
Daniele and I studied together for our BSc Psychology degree and I have seen his excellent progress throughout all these years in the field of psychology and neuroscience. Daniele has been extremely helpful to me and to other students during our university years with exam revisions as he was organising weekly tutoring revision sessions, and sharing with his exam notes and hints how to score high on the exams. Daniele used to be one of the strongest students in statistics/research methods, behavioural genetics and he used to tutor me with these courses. Additionally, he has helped me with my BSc dissertation write-up regarding the APA formatted tables/graphs/figures/annotations, and gave a critical feedback for my MSc dissertation as well. Despite his outstanding theoretical knowledge in psychology, he has strong skills in critical thinking/evaluation, statistics, research methods, and interpersonal skills, and all these skills make him an excellent tutor. Daniele’s tutoring approach takes in considerations the individual differences making him quiet adaptable, flexible enabling him to tutor different students with their specific needs.
Daniele is an amazing tutor, he helped me with my university essays and lab reports. His teaching style will allow you to discuss the topic of interest, and will leave you with a deep understanding of the subject. I was able to improve my grades with him, and overall I would recommend him.
I met Daniele two years ago while collaborating on a research project investigating working memory abilities across the lifespan using neuroimaging and brain stimulation techniques.
During his experience at Goldsmiths, Daniele showed exceptional organizational skills and critical thinking well beyond expectations. Besides other things, during our experiments he explained study instructions/aims to our participants, demonstrating strong communicative skills . He is a highly motivated person, who has a great passion for psychology and human relationships. He is extremely committed to his work, curious and ambitious.
I therefore strongly recommend Daniele, as I am confident students will greatly benefit from his professional and human skills.Daniele is an enthusiastic and easy going person who really cares about every aspect of psychology. I have had quite few private lessons in psychology with him, few months ago. Although I had very little background in psychology (I am completing an MSc in another subject), he was able to make the subject easy to understand. He helped me to complete two essays. Overall, I think he is the right person if you want to learn while being helped towards an assignment.
