About Dr Valerie
Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile.
My name is Valerie, and I am a university lecturer, researcher, and dissertation supervisor based in the United Kingdom. I recently completed my PhD in Construction Informatics at Oxford Brookes University and currently lecture within the School of Built Environment.
My academic journey has taken me from undergraduate studies in Quantity Surveying, to a Distinction in Construction Project Management at the University of Manchester, and ultimately to completing a PhD focused on digital twins, data interoperability, and building operations. Along the way, I have experienced first-hand the challenges that many students face when undertaking dissertations, research projects, literature reviews, and academic writing.
What motivates me to teach is seeing students develop confidence in their abilities and achieve results they did not think were possible. Research can often feel overwhelming, particularly when students are unsure how to structure their work, develop a methodology, analyse findings, or meet academic expectations. I enjoy helping students break these challenges into manageable steps and guiding them towards clarity and success.
In addition to my teaching experience, I am an active researcher with publications in leading international journals, including a highly cited paper with more than 300 citations. I have worked with students from diverse academic backgrounds and understand that every learner has different strengths, challenges, and goals.
Students who work with me can expect a professional, supportive, and encouraging learning environment where questions are welcomed, and progress is celebrated. My aim is not simply to help you complete an assignment or dissertation, but to help you become a more confident researcher, writer, and critical thinker.
Whether you are just starting your research project, struggling with a literature review, refining your methodology, or preparing for dissertation submission, I would be delighted to support you on your academic journey.

My teaching approach is centred on helping students become confident, independent researchers rather than simply completing assignments. Having recently completed my PhD and worked as a university lecturer and dissertation supervisor, I understand the challenges students face when developing research questions, conducting literature reviews, selecting appropriate methodologies, analysing findings, and writing dissertations.
I tailor each lesson to the individual student's needs, stage of study, and research project. Rather than providing generic advice, I work closely with students to identify specific challenges and develop practical strategies to overcome them. My sessions are interactive, supportive, and focused on developing the skills needed to produce high-quality academic work.
I can provide support with:
• Dissertation and thesis planning
• Research proposal development
• Literature reviews and critical analysis
• Research design and methodology selection
• Qualitative and quantitative research approaches
• Academic writing and structure
• Critical thinking and argument development
• Editing and improving dissertation chapters
• Viva and research presentation preparation
A typical lesson lasts 60 minutes, although longer sessions can be arranged when reviewing dissertation chapters or research projects. Following each session, students leave with clear action points and practical next steps to help them make measurable progress.
I hold a PhD in Construction Informatics from Oxford Brookes University and an MSc with Distinction from the University of Manchester. I have supervised and supported undergraduate and postgraduate students through dissertations, research projects, and academic writing assignments.
My lessons are suitable for undergraduate, MSc, MBA, and PhD students, as well as professionals undertaking research projects or preparing academic applications. I welcome students from a wide range of disciplines, including engineering, construction, sustainability, business management, social sciences, and the built environment.
My goal is not just to help students complete their research projects, but to help them develop the confidence, skills, and academic thinking needed to succeed throughout their studies and professional careers.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor
I had the pleasure of working alongside Valerie during our PhD, and she quickly became my go-to person whenever I felt stuck or needed a fresh perspective on my research. She has a remarkable ability to ask the right questions, which helped me think more critically.
One of the things I appreciated most was her ability to help me articulate my ideas more clearly. When I struggled to explain what I was trying to do, Valerie would point me in the right direction, suggesting what to look at or how to work through it.
She’s approachable, patient, and genuinely supportive, and I always found her input really valuable. I’d happily recommend her to anyone looking for help with their dissertation or research.With a PhD and experience as a university lecturer, Dr Valerie has extensive expertise in research design, academic writing and thesis supervision.
She is thorough, approachable and tailors her support to each student’s topic and goals. Her feedback is constructive and focused on helping students achieve their best possible outcome. A truly knowledgeable and supportive coach.I highly recommend Valerian as a knowledgeable, supportive, and dedicated tutor. I know her as a senior colleague from university, where she completed her PhD and taught as an Associate Lecturer. She has excellent academic writing, research, and teaching skills. She also supported me during my PhD work, especially with my literature review and methodology, and always gave clear, practical, and thoughtful guidance. Valerian understands how research should be planned and carried out, and she has a kind and encouraging teaching style. I am confident that students will benefit greatly from her experience and support.
I am pleased to recommend Dr Valerie Tuhaise, whom I had the privilege of supporting as her second PhD supervisor during her doctoral studies in Construction Informatics at Oxford Brookes University.
Valerie is a thoughtful, disciplined, and highly capable academic. Throughout her PhD, she showed a strong ability to understand complex ideas, organise them clearly, and communicate them in a way that others could follow. Her research on digital twins, building operations, and data interoperability required technical depth, independence, and careful thinking, and she demonstrated these qualities consistently.
What I have always appreciated about Valerie is her calm and supportive approach to learning. She is patient, approachable, and genuinely committed to helping others develop confidence in their academic work. She understands the challenges students face when working on dissertations, research projects, literature reviews, methodologies, and academic writing, and she is able to guide them with clarity and encouragement.
Valerie also brings valuable teaching and supervision experience. She is able to help students refine their ideas, structure their work, improve their writing, and think more critically about their research. She has a natural ability to make students feel supported while also encouraging them to produce work of a high academic standard.
I would confidently recommend Valerie to any student looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated dissertation coach or academic mentor. She combines academic excellence with warmth, professionalism, and a genuine desire to see students succeed.View more recommendations
