About Dr Greg Samways
I have a degree and PhD in geology, with postdoctoral experience in environmental sciences. I have spent more than 30 years as a professional geoscience consultant, but for the past 16 years I have focused on teaching all aspects of geoscience and project management, to industry and academia.
In total I have delivered more than 130 courses (anything from a week to several months duration), to more than 2000 trainees and students in more than 25 countries around the world.
I also have extensive experience writing technical proposals, managing projects, supervising staff and students and examining dissertations (I was an MSc examiner for 5 years).

The focus of my approach is to help you learn how to research the subject and learn for yourself. This is the best way to ensure deep understanding and long term retention of the subject matter. This is how I have worked for more than 30 years as a successful researcher and professional trainer in industry.
You will learn about how to plan your project, prioritise, undertake background research, define aims and objectives, evaluate data, describe methods, illustrate and discuss results, and present conclusions. These are all important skills you will need to acquire to create a great dissertation, and they are also the skills that prospective employers want you to demonstrate. So it is important to understand these skills and then practice and perfect them in the course of your dissertation.
I use Zoom meetings, collaborative documents and whiteboards to work with you to develop your knowledge and understanding of the dissertation process. I can also provide feedback and suggestion on the early drafts of your write-up.

“Dr Samways is a very inspirational and supportive tutor who has an incredible ability to take things apart, then put them back together in a coherent way that you better understand. As a 2nd year university student studying Geography I was really struggling to plan an important assignment. Dr Samways helped me take my mind model apart and rebuild it so that I was able to analyse, evaluate and create new possibilities, supported by clear facts and the necessary evidence. The result was simple, clear and highly effective. For anyone struggling to plan an assignment or organise their dissertation, Dr Samways is highly recommended.” – Keeley Tipton
Greg is a fantastic tutor who I cannot recommend enough! He has helped guide me from start to finish throughout my BSc Geology course in both understanding the depths of how to learn and how this applied to my topics. This has been invaluable and I truly believe it has helped me achieve to the best of my ability. He also was brilliant when it later came to my MSc dissertation in initially helping me brainstorm where I could go with my topic. I'd been at a loss on how to create a proposal but talking it over helped me see where I could run with it. I really cannot overstate how helpful Greg has been and if you enjoy geoscience, conversations never fail to be inspiring!
