seeking help with my phd

N

Hi guys, I was wondering if there is anyone who is doing his postdoc studies? in physiology/psycholinguistics? I need someone to help me designing and working on my phd research, like a tutor! I am not getting any help from my supervisor.
we can agree on the payment later on. I looking for a lady. I live in surrey. I can meet around kingston, richmond, London waterloo.
Please be in touch if you can do so!

Hi Nana, if you really feel your supervisor isn't helping you, could you ask for a different supervisor? I know it's quite stressful because I did it, but I'm much happier now. At my uni, there is a tutor in each faculty that you can talk to if you're having problems. She assured me it's not a big deal to change supervisor. I know it's not the same everywhere and it might be more difficult to change if you have funding attached to a particular project but still it's worth a try.

When I was really stuck I sought help from a colleague who is an experienced PhD supervisor, but i was very aware that if she gave me advice that I liked but my supervisor didn't I could end up in a big disagreement with my supervisor. I find it helps to talk about my work with as many people as possible, especially other research students and colleagues who are at least a bit familiar with my field. That way I sometimes get useful suggestions which I can discuss with my supervisor but I'm not depending on someone to replace my supervisor, which I think might be a bit dangerous. Good luck!
