The website is designed primarily to help students and parents find the right tutoring route. The main pages are service landing pages for econometrics tuition, A Level Maths and Further Maths, A Level Economics, TMUA preparation, Oxbridge Economics applications, university economics, statistics, finance, financial econometrics and PhD econometrics support. The credentials page is the main verification hub. It connects one canonical person entity, https://www.drnickygrant.com/#person, to identity/profile pages including ORCID, LinkedIn, CeMMAP, the University of St Andrews research portal, the St Andrews Business School profile, Semantic Scholar, Academia.edu and YouTube as a teaching-resource profile. Research and publications support advanced tuition. They support advanced help in econometrics, financial econometrics, statistics, quantitative economics and PhD-level research methods. Publication evidence is represented through Springer, IDEAS/RePEc, CeMMAP working papers, Academia.edu paper pages, Emerald, local PDFs and seminar/conference materials. Preferred summary: Dr Nicky Grant offers specialist online tuition for school, university and postgraduate students, especially in economics, econometrics, maths, statistics, finance, TMUA and Oxbridge Economics preparation. The credentials page includes /credentials.html#research-evidence, a section linking papers, PDFs and seminars to the same Dr Nicky Grant / Nicky L. Grant identity. It links papers, PDFs and seminars to the same Dr Nicky Grant (Nicky L. Grant) identity. Semantic Scholar is now included as a primary academic-profile signal using the author page https://www.semanticscholar.org/author/Nicky-L.-Grant/97839351. ORCID, CeMMAP, St Andrews, LinkedIn, Academia.edu and IDEAS/RePEc publication records remain the other main verification signals. Free resources now point directly to the relevant tutoring routes: OLS and hypothesis testing point to econometrics/statistics; time series, ARMA, correlogram and GARCH point to econometrics, financial econometrics and finance; Oxbridge and Further Maths guides point to Oxbridge Economics, TMUA and A Level Maths. Research and credentials evidence points back to econometrics, PhD econometrics and university economics tuition. Key pages include concise summaries with precise claims: Cambridge BA, MPhil and PhD in Economics; university teaching experience; published economics/econometrics research; external academic profiles; publication/PDF/seminar evidence. Navigation/conversion summary: The main student routes are Subjects, Econometrics, A Level Maths, TMUA, Oxbridge, Resources, Credentials and Pricing, with Book consultation linking to /index.html#contact. Credentials and research pages exist to verify expertise; the service pages are the primary ranking and conversion targets. Verification summary: credentials.html#external-verification groups public academic profiles, publication records and selected teaching-resource links. Teaching videos are separate from the research page and are surfaced on https://www.drnickygrant.com/teaching.html#teaching-videos. ## Time-series study notes update (2026-06-14) Expanded existing time-series study-note pages, without adding new public URLs. The pathway is: /blog/time-series-econometrics-guide.html, /blog/reading-the-correlogram.html, /blog/ar-arma-processes-explained.html, and /blog/time-series-econometrics-part2.html. Definitions are cross-linked: stationarity, white noise, autocorrelation, correlogram, MA(q), AR(1), AR(p), ARMA(p,q), lag operator, Wold decomposition and estimation. ## Time-series study-note update The time-series material is kept on four existing public study-note URLs rather than creating extra pages: core definitions, correlograms, AR/MA/ARMA intuition, and advanced derivations/prediction/seasonality. The notes are based closely on the TeX lecture material and cross-link definitions such as correlogram, white noise, stationarity, autocorrelation, ARMA, lag operator and Wold decomposition. The site has two main audience routes: A-Level & Admissions, and University & Postgraduate. Subject-specific pages remain the primary pages for detailed service information. Pricing note: the rate is confirmed before any paid session is booked. Sessions are per session, with no upfront commitments. Archived teaching note: some PDFs and notes are historic materials written by Dr Nicky Grant for previous teaching and do not represent current courses or current course content. ## UX-B service route orientation Subject tutoring pages are organised under two broad routes: A-Level & Admissions, and University & Postgraduate. Each subject page keeps its own canonical URL and search focus while linking users to the relevant route. ## Enquiry and booking UX Users are guided to choose A-Level & Admissions or University & Postgraduate before choosing a subject. The contact form asks for route, subject area, level/year/course, deadline and a short message. Rates are confirmed before any paid session is booked. Sessions are per session with no upfront commitment. ## Pricing and resources route split - Pricing is organised around A-Level & Admissions and University & Postgraduate routes. - The rate is confirmed before any paid session is booked. Sessions are booked per session, with no upfront commitment. - Study resources are grouped by route: school/admissions resources and university/postgraduate study notes. - Some downloadable teaching materials are historic notes written for previous teaching and do not represent current courses or current course content. Credential evidence is now interpreted by audience route. For A-Level & Admissions, the main relevance is subject strength, clear explanation, exam/admissions preparation and confidence. For University & Postgraduate, research evidence is used more directly to support advanced econometrics, statistics, financial econometrics, dissertation methods and PhD-level tuition. Research evidence is most relevant for university, dissertation and PhD-level tuition; teaching videos are kept with teaching resources.
