Send me a message with your university, subject, and deadline. I typically respond within 1 hour.
I create a shared Dissertation Master Plan tailored to your project and timeline.
Weekly online sessions via Google Meet plus free WhatsApp support between sessions for technical questions.
Detailed, examiner-standard written feedback on your dissertation draft - the kind of comments a rigorous supervisor would provide after a viva examination.
Extensive written comments directly on your document: structural issues, logical errors, vague claims, weak methodology, informal language, missing citations, and actionable improvements. The same standard as a dissertation examiner reviewing your work post-viva.
This is not editing, proofreading, or ghostwriting. I do not make changes to your text. I leave comments that guide you to improve your own work - exactly as a supervisor or examiner would. Your dissertation remains entirely your own.
Examples: real feedback on student dissertation drafts
