Our approach to your data
Your analysis has to be yours. Markers, supervisors and viva panels regularly ask students to explain the choices they made, so we teach and check rather than do. You run the analysis; we explain each step and make sure you understand why it’s the right one.
We never invent, alter or selectively remove data to change a result. Please anonymise participant data before sharing it where you can. Anything you do share is treated as confidential and deleted when your support ends.
What we won’t do
Clear limits protect you. Everything we offer is designed to sit within UK academic integrity rules. Read our integrity policy.
- We don’t run your analysis for you or write up your results.
- We never fabricate, alter or selectively remove data.
- We don’t complete statistics assessments, tests or exams.

Students we’ve helped
In their words
“I had done the research, but bringing my dissertation together felt overwhelming. OxfordHelpers helped me spot gaps, organize my chapters, and strengthen my referencing. Their clear, practical feedback made the revisions manageable, and I finally felt confident about submitting my work. The result was a polished, thoroughly researched dissertation with clear arguments and careful referencing, and I couldn’t have been happier with the outcome.”
“With my deadline approaching, I needed more than a quick spellcheck. OxfordHelpers picked up unclear wording, inconsistent references, and mistakes I had overlooked. The editing was thorough, communication was straightforward, and I submitted on time without losing my own voice.”
“I understood the topic, but my essay wasn’t making a convincing argument. OxfordHelpers helped me see where my reasoning needed work and how to connect my ideas. The explanations made a real difference, I finished with a stronger essay and a better understanding of how to approach the next one.”
FAQs
Research and data analysis support: common questions
Can you tell me which statistical test to use?
We’ll work through it with you: your research question, the type of variables you have and the assumptions your data meet. By the end you’ll know which test fits and be able to justify that choice in your methodology.
I’ve run my analysis but don’t understand the output. Can you help?
Yes, and it’s one of the most common requests we get. We’ll go through your output line by line so you can interpret it and report it accurately.
Do you help with qualitative analysis?
Yes. We support thematic analysis, content analysis and other qualitative approaches, including coding in NVivo or MAXQDA and writing up themes with appropriate evidence.
Is my data kept confidential?
Yes. Share only what’s needed, anonymise participant data before sending it if you can, and we’ll delete it when your support ends.
