My Coach, Amy, saved my life. I met her during the most challenging time in my thesis. People around me constantly reminded me how bad I am at writing, and I ended up anxious and depressed. Then I met Amy, who agreed to help me improve my work. I have no words to explain how amazing she is as a teacher and a human being.

Damithri Chathumani (NZ)

So helpful! Amy assisted me with an outline for my literature review and with organizing the results for my MBA applied research project. Having a road map helped enormously and saved a lot of time. Definitely worth it.

Jennifer Hagedorn (Canada)

I had been struggling with the first 3 chapters of my dissertation for over a year. I finally decided to give GradCoach a try and it made a huge difference. Alexandra provided helpful suggestions along with edits that transformed my paper. My advisor was very impressed.

Tracy Shelton (US)

Everything about my experience was great, from Dr. Shaeffer’s expertise, to her patience and flexibility. I reached out to GradCoach after receiving a 78 on a midterm paper. Not only did I get a 100 on my final paper in the same class, but I haven’t received a mark less than A+ since. I recommend GradCoach for everyone who needs help with academic research.

Antonia Singleton (Qatar)

I was provided with the perfect level of support for my dissertation which allowed me to achieve a distinction level. I learnt a lot more through the experience due to the probing questions put to me by my coach, which led me to a deeper evaluation and analysis (and understanding) of my data.

Belle Moore (US)

Using Grad Coach was the best decision that I could have made. Apart from all the help that I received from Derek, I have also seen a tremendous improvement in my writing as well as my critical thinking not only in my assignments but also in my workplace.

Derek has a beautiful way of teaching, encouraging and honesty in his feedback. His style gives each module a level of excitement, and although it remains challenging, I never once found myself bored or confused.

PS. You can read more verified reviews here .

Working with Kerryn has been brilliant. She has guided me through that pesky academic language that makes us all scratch our heads. I can't recommend Grad Coach highly enough; they are very professional, humble, and fun to work with. If like me, you know your subject matter but you're getting lost in the academic language, look no further, give them a go.

Tony Fogarty (UK)

I’m proud to say that I got my dissertation in, submitted on time and even got a great mark and very positive marker feedback. All thanks to the superstars at Grad Coach. Thank you so much.

I started using Grad Coach for my dissertation and I can honestly say that if it wasn’t for them, I would have really struggled. I would strongly recommend them – worth every penny!

Richard Egenreider (South Africa)

Grad Coach is saving my sanity and hope while completing my dissertation. Coach Ethar is outstanding - he brings his joy and wisdom into each session. I know he is there for my success. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by the magnitude of this work, he has helped me break each section into manageable steps. Don’t go it alone - Grad Coach is amazing.

Michelle Thompson (US)

Looking back, I don’t know how I would have made it without the Grad Coach team. Thank you so much!

I would have been lost with Dr. Peter Quella coaching me through some of the toughest parts of the dissertation. His insight allowed me to understand the feedback from my committee and be able to respond in a meaningful way.

It was helpful to be able to hear his insights and apply them to my dissertation work. Thank you Peter and Grad Coach!

Is the consultation really free.

The purpose of the initial consultation is for us to assess your specific situation and explain how we can help you.

There is no cost and no obligation to proceed beyond the consultation. However, we strongly recommend that you review our pricing before booking a consultation.

Is this service allowed by universities?

Yes . Many universities refer students to us and 400+ institutions use our content in their curriculum.

It’s important to understand that we do not write for you . While there are organisations that will cross this ethical boundary, we do not engage in any activity which may be considered academic misconduct .

Will my work be treated confidentially?

Your work will be treated as confidential and will not be shared with any third parties, nor published anywhere. We can sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) if you wish.

How much does Private Coaching cost?

You can learn about our pricing and package options here.

Can you write my dissertation/thesis for me?

No – all writing must be your own. We can hold your hand throughout the research process, but we cannot write for you as that would constitute academic misconduct.

WARNING – If you are considering any academic writing service, be aware that using such services can lead to expulsion or even revocation of your degree years after graduation . Many websites offering such services provide extremely low-quality work that is unlikely to pass, and some websites are outright scams preying on desperate students.
