Helping students succeed in their studies at university, through playful and authentic learning Hi! I’m Alex, founder of Wyrd Learning.

I’ve been working in UK higher education since 2004 as a researcher, lecturer, academic developer, and programme lead. Over the years I’ve helped hundreds of students strengthen their critical thinking, improve their academic writing, and develop the confidence to succeed at university. I know how confusing university expectations can feel — especially when it comes to dissertations and essays. Ma

Feeling stuck with your dissertation?

Many students reach the final stages of writing unsure whether their argument is strong enough, whether their evidence is sufficiently critical, or whether their structure flows clearly and logically.

Wyrd Learning offers detailed dissertation feedback designed to help you strengthen the quality of your own work before submission.

Feedback can include:
• Development of narrative and argument
• Criticality and quality of evidence
• Structure and coherence
• Reducing repetition
• Identifying achievable areas for quick improvement
• Clarity, flow, and academic style

✔ Ethical, UK university-aligned support
✔ Quick turnaround — usually within 48 hours
✔ Includes written notes and an online review consultation
✔ £25 per 1,000 words

Support available for undergraduate and Master’s level work.

📩 Message Wyrd Learning to discuss your dissertation or book a review.

If your dissertation feels repetitive or descriptive…
it’s not because you haven’t read enough.

It’s because you haven’t been shown how to interrogate the literature.

In this free webinar, I’ll show you how to:
✔ find the right sources
✔ compare perspectives
✔ develop critical analysis
✔ build your own argument

Most students don’t lose marks because they can’t write…
They lose marks because they’re using weak sources 👀

Start here:
👉 Who are the key researchers in my topic?

This gives you:
the most influential authors
the most cited work
the foundations of your field

💡 Strong dissertations don’t use random articles.

They build on key thinkers.

In this my webinar, I’ll show you how to:
✔ refine your question
✔ identify gaps in the literature
✔ develop critical analysis
✔ build a strong argument

Struggling to make your dissertation sound more critical? 👀

Most students stay stuck describing:
➡ what happened
➡ what others said

But high grades come from using theories + frameworks to analyse your topic.

Try asking ChatGPT:
👉 “Which key theories, models or concepts relate to my topic?”

This instantly upgrades your work from:
❌ descriptive
➡️ to
✅ analytical + critical

💡 If you’re writing about AI in dissertations, you might get:
• Academic integrity
• Authorship
• Digital literacy
• Assessment theory

…and THAT is where critical thinking begins.

If your dissertation feels like “just summarising what others said”, this will help.

If your dissertation currently feels like:

• too descriptive
• repetitive
• unclear
• lacking critical analysis

you're not alone.

After supporting academic research and writing for 20+ years, I've seen the same issue repeatedly:

Students read huge amounts of literature but struggle to turn that into clear argument and original insight.

I'm running a free live webinar showing how students can use ChatGPT ethically to:

• refine a strong research question
• identify genuine gaps in the literature
• analyse literature critically
• structure a persuasive dissertation argument
• evaluate their work against the marking criteria

Free webinar

Friday 10 April
1pm (GMT)

Everyone who registers will receive the recording.

If you know someone currently working on their dissertation, feel free to share this with them or in your course group.
