From feedback to First Class

For over 20 years I've been explaining what "be more critical" means, one student at a time. Now it's all in one place: 110 pages of the frameworks I use in my 1:1 sessions, with worked examples across psychology, law, history, business, literature and more.

What's inside:

  • PEEL, rebuilt so your evaluation does real work

  • RAMPED, my six-angle method for picking a study apart

  • The same paragraph at 2:2, 2:1 and First level, side by side

  • A step-by-step fix for one weak paragraph, no full rewrite needed

  • How to use AI to sharpen your thinking without handing it over

Kind words from happy folk

“I fixed two of the weakest paragraphs and my grade jumped from a 58 to a 68.”

— Tom H., Second-year Sociology student

“I'd had 'be more critical' written on my essays for two years and never knew what to change. The RAMPED framework and the So-What Test gave me a way to evaluate studies instead of just describing them, and my next essay came back as my highest mark yet.”

— Anita L., Third-year Criminology student

“I have a tendency to get really overwhelmed and don't know where to begin. The 'repair one paragraph' exercise saved me from getting completely bogged down… I realised I could take them just one paragraph at a time with the end result that my entire essay would be improved.”

— Frankie M., Final-year Criminology student

  • “Before this, I’d just stare at my draft and move things around. After one session, I had a clear structure and knew exactly what each paragraph was doing.”

    — MA Education student

  • “I went from a 2:2 to a First in three weeks. I finally understood what criticality actually means.”

    — Final-year Sociology student

  • “I went from rambling in meetings and presentations to actually landing my points. The structure work translated immediately and had real impact.”

    — Marketing Manager, Hyve Group

  • “I’d tried templates and AI tools, but nothing stuck. This was the first time I actually understood how to build an argument myself.”

    — MSc Nursing student

  • “I got 85%!! I am gobsmacked I have never got a grade like that and truly believe I wouldn't have got it without you. You arrived at a time when I was about to quit the course, so thank you”

    — First-year Psychotherapy student

  • “I stopped opening with apologies and started landing my points. My manager commented on the difference straight after the presentation.”

    — Senior Analyst

  • “I’d been putting off a report for weeks. We broke it down, and I finished it that same day. It was such a relief.”

    — Consultant

  • “The role-play element made it realistic without feeling high-pressure. I could practise properly without freezing.”

    — Senior Associate

  • “I was dreading presenting, but the sessions were surprisingly enjoyable. That made it much easier to actually practise and improve. My delivery was completely different by the end.”

    — MSc Sport Science

  • “There are so many AI tools, I didn’t know where to start. This gave me a clear way to use them for research and structure without getting lost.”
