How Does Dissertation Coaching Work?

When you book a dissertation coaching package, you will receive a number of one-on-one virtual sessions, in which we will discuss your progress and problems and formulate workable solutions, techniques, and strategies.

You will also have the ability to reach out 24/7 for help.

To help you stay on track and productive, you will receive written summaries of our sessions via a dedicated project management board, which will include goals, action-items, and strategies targeted to your project.

Finally, you will have the opportunity to request or purchase additional written feedback on and editing of your manuscript drafts, including corrections to your grammar, expression, formatting, referencing, and citations (depending on the package you book)

Can you help with any field of research?

Definitely. Over the years, I have coached students in all fields and areas of research, from biology, political science, and philosophy to hospitality studies, leadership and management studies, and anthropology. I can support students working with both qualitative and quantitative data, as well as mixed-methods studies and textual analyses. I also have a research specialism in children’s literature, so if you work in the field of children’s studies, I can offer specialized content support. Please note, however, that the coaching I provide for general academic writing and research techniques - I cannot provide subject-content tuition (except in children’s literature studies)!

Are you qualified to help me?

Absolutely! I hold a PhD from the University of Wales, as well as a teaching qualification; I have taught academic writing for many years, have trained as an academic editor, and have supervised dissertation students across many fields throughout my career. I am also a published academic with a strong research profile in my field.

Can I try dissertation coaching out before I commit?

Sure! Just use one of the “Book a Back-on-Track Session” buttons anywhere on the site to book a free, no-obligation, 30-minute session with me and try out my services for yourself. We’ll start by diagnosing where you are stuck and creating a three-step “back-on-track” action plan to get you moving forward again. You can also ask any questions you might have about how coaching can help you from there on out.

What if coaching is not for me?

If you are not convinced by your Back-on-Track session, there is no obligation to book further sessions. First-time students can also withdraw from a paid package after the first paid session, no questions asked, with my full money-back guarantee.

What level of support will I get?

You can choose the level of dissertation coaching support that suits you best by selecting one of my packages or services. From one-off problems to full-semester programs, I am happy to help you as much or as little as you like. Sessions are completely virtual, so even though I am based in northeastern PA, I can help you no matter where in the world you are based.
