PhD research support and doctoral coaching
Doctoral work fails on stamina and structure far more often than on intellect. We provide the external accountability, methodological challenge and writing feedback that a single supervisor rarely has time to give.
What the support covers
How we help with phd research support
Framing an original contribution
Articulating what is genuinely new in your work and defending that claim against the existing literature.
Methodological rigour
Pressure-testing design, sampling, instruments and analysis before your examiners do it for you.
Writing at doctoral length
Chapter architecture, argument continuity across 80,000 words, and a realistic writing routine.
Milestones and the viva
Upgrade and confirmation documents, conference abstracts, publication planning and mock viva questioning.

Academic levels
We work with undergraduate and Bachelor's students on assignments, coursework, reports and final-year or capstone projects, and with Master's and PhD students on research proposals, literature reviews, methodology, data analysis, theses and dissertations.
English · Arabic · French
Sessions are available in English, Arabic and French, so you can think through difficult ideas in the language you reason fastest in and still submit in the language your university requires.
Academic integrity
We coach, tutor and give feedback. Students research, build and submit their own assessed work, which keeps them inside their institution's academic integrity rules.
