HIGHLY STRUCTURED

Dissertations

I provide rigorous academic guidance across every chapter of your thesis.

Abstract

Support Provided: I guide you through the concision of thousands of words into a precise, high-impact summary. You'll ensure your abstract clearly states the problem, methods, key findings, and implications: often the first thing an examiner reads to judge quality.

2. Introduction

Support Provided: You'll craft a compelling 'hook' and clearly articulate the research gap, the "Why It's Important". I guide you to formulate precise Research Questions (RQs) and Research Objectives that are answerable and aligned with your university's marking rubric.

3. Literature Review

Support Provided: Over the last 9 years I've developed a fast track-systematic literature review process that gets results; it's designed to get you into the high performance zone quickly. Focusing on the main constructs of your dissertation you'll quickly develop a first draft containing the literature dominant in your field of study; identifying methods and core findings, in order to make a clear contribution.

4. Theoretical Model / Framework (Quantitative)

Support Provided: The literature review will have allowed you to deduce your hypotheses; in this section you'll translate these into your econometric model.

5. Themes & Interview Questions (Qualitative)

Support Provided: Derived from you induced themes from the literature review, I coach you in designing interview guides that elicit rich data. You'll also conduct practice interviews with me so you know what to expect.

6. Methodology

Support Provided: You'll be trained to provide a strong technical defense for your chosen philosophy (Positivism vs Interpretivism), sampling strategy, and analytical techniques (Regression vs Thematic Analysis). You'll ensure every choice is justified academically.

7. Findings / Results

Support Provided: For Quants: Interpreting STATA output and formatting professional academic tables. For Quals: structuring your narrative with evidence quotes. You'll ensure you report exactly what the data says, without overreaching.

8. Discussion

Support Provided: This is where top grades are secured. You'll critically link your findings back to the literature review. You'll explain why your results matter and how they extend current knowledge.

9. Conclusion

Support Provided: Drafting a powerful closing chapter that summarizes contributions, honestly assesses limitations, and offers practical recommendations for future research or practice & policy.

PROCESS

How it works

Let’s Get Started: Reserve your spot, before it’s gone

After completing the application form, assuming we are a good match, I will invite you to a free 45 minute introductory session over Google Meets to see if we’re a good fit. You should feel calmer and more in control by the end of the session. Students I work with often say they felt overwhelmed before we started. I reduce that anxiety within the first 45 minutes during the free intro call. We do this by establishing:

- A clear research question that fits the marketing criteria.

- A realistic timeline and chapter plan for the dissertation.

- Confidence about which methods and data will work for their question.

- A concrete plan for the next one or two weeks of work.

Step 1. Apply for Tutoring & Free Intro Session

Complete a short form that Dr Johan will review. Assuming you are a good match, he'll offer you a free intro session, a diagnostic and planning call via Google Meet where you can decide if we're a good fit.

Apply for Tutoring

Step 2. Clear plan & Structure

We map out the road ahead so you know exactly what to do. You're provided a planner, dissertation template; and homework to get you into the high performance zone.

Step 3. Focused weekly sessions

Keeping you on-track with the highest quality tutoring; ensuring academic development and excellence.

⇆ Continuous Support & Dissertation Reviews

As required, in depth detailed reviews and ethically compliant comments designed to push quality higher.

LOGISTICS

Google Tools We’ll Use For Sessions, Planning & Sharing

Google Meet

All sessions are run through Google Meet where we share screens and work together.

Google Sheets

A private shared Dissertation Master plan is how we keep you on track.

Google Drive

All Documents are exchanged by a private shared Google drive folder.

As a student of Dr Johan, you can send him detailed technical questions for free in between sessions over WhatsApp.

PEAK FLOW STATE

High Performance Coach

I provide deep subject matter expertise and technical knowledge, however, I am also a peak performance specialist and your high stakes coach.

High Performance Zone: A state of Flow

I get you into the high performance zone swiftly using the theory of Flow by Csikszentmihaly (1990; 2014). Not too easy, not too difficult.

The secret to getting yourself into the state of flow is by setting yourselves tasks that are neither too easy nor too difficult.

We Start with the Literature

We always begin by a task designed to get you into that state; a fast track to the lit review.

"You should feel strong, alert, in effortless control and at the peak of your abilities, both your sense of time and emotional problems seem to disappear as you experience deep satisfaction in the quality of your work."

Dr. Johan (adapted from Csikszentmihalyi)

WHAT

Deep Subject Matter Knowledge

Economics

I tutor across micro and macro economics, with strong econometric grounding in regression, panel data, and time-series methods. I can help you master core concepts such as elasticity, market structure, and growth models. For those so inclined; I also assist in integrating critical-realist and anti-positivist perspectives so you can discuss not only “what the numbers say” but also their theoretical and real-world limits.

Behavioral Economics

I support students in understanding how insights from Kahneman and Tversky, prospect theory, and bounded rationality reshape standard economic assumptions. We will link experiments and behavioral econometrics to questions of welfare, policy design, and methodological critique, including how anti-positivist themes challenge purely rational or purely quantitative views of human behavior.

Applied Economics & Entrepreneurship

My expertise bridges empirical economics with entrepreneurial practice, including development of testable hypotheses, model specification, and interpretation of econometric evidence in venture and policy contexts. I work extensively with effectuation theory (Sarasvathy), opportunity recognition, and entrepreneurial ecosystems, helping you connect rigorous empirical work with real-world entrepreneurial decision making and critical perspectives on what “success” means.

Business

I cover core business disciplines: operations, organizational behaviour, international business; always grounding models in data and evidence while remaining attentive to context, institutions, and ethics. You can learn to connect classical quantitative analysis (NPV, cost structures, productivity, etc.) with broader theoretical debates about agency, power, and uncertainty that are central at advanced undergraduate, master’s, and PhD level.

Marketing

I tutor the full marketing toolkit: from segmentation, targeting, and positioning to branding and digital strategy; anchored in the major frameworks associated with Kotler and subsequent theorists. Together we connect these models to empirical methods (e.g. demand estimation, conjoint analysis, campaign evaluation) and to interpretive, anti-positivist readings of consumer culture, identity, and meaning.

Strategy

I provide support to all areas taught including Porter’s competitive strategy, resource-based and dynamic capability perspectives approaches to industry analysis. I help you move from applying frameworks in a mechanical way to using them critically and empirically, combining qualitative case analysis with quantitative evidence and philosophical reflection on complexity, uncertainty, and strategic choice.

RESEARCH PHILOSOPHY

Quantitative & Qualitative Dissertation Methods

Every student has their own underlying research philosophy that they adhere to; it is not the job of the tutor (nor the supervisor) to force a methodology onto their student.

Quantitative projects (STATA)

Support with survey or secondary data projects using STATA and applied econometrics, including:
- Translating your research question into testable hypotheses. Choosing appropriate models (e.g. regressions, panel models) and explaining why they fit.
- Building and checking STATA do-files step by step.
- Interpreting output in clear academic language. Writing method, results and discussion chapters that more than satisfy examiners.

Qualitative projects

For qualitative dissertations I help you design, analyse and write up using:
- Narrative analysis of interview or case material.
- Thematic analysis aligned with your research questions. Axial coding to connect themes and build a coherent framework.
- Structuring findings so they remain grounded in your data. Linking your analysis back to theory and literature.

Structure, writing & accountability

We work with a shared master plan and document workspace so that:

Every chapter has a clear role and structure.
Your arguments are logical, critical and well signposted.
Sessions end with a short list of specific next actions.
You stay on top of deadlines for proposals, drafts and final submission.

QUESTIONS

FAQs

Do you work only with undergraduates?

No. I work with final-year undergraduates, Masters, MBA, DBA and PhD students. This page is focused on final-year undergraduate dissertations because they are often decisive for your overall degree classification.

Can you help if my data or methods are already chosen?

Yes. Many students come to me after they have already collected data or made early choices about methods. We can still work together to strengthen the analysis, clarify the structure and refine the writing.

Do you write or edit the dissertation for me?

No. My role is to help you plan, analyse, structure and improve your own work so that it is ethical, original and aligned with your university regulations. I will leave detailed comments throughout however, you must remain the author at all times.

Can you guarantee a First?

No tutor can guarantee a specific grade. Any tutor that says this is not being truthful. However, my success rate is very high, over 75%. I can’t promise it will be easy; you’ll work harder than you’ve ever done before. What I can guarantee is experienced, structured guidance that helps you submit work that is as strong, clear and technically sound as possible.
