How does dissertation coaching work?
- Dissertation coaching can be done in-person or by phone (We work with graduate students throughout the Unites States, Canada, and even internationally).
- Initially, we design an overall structure for completing your dissertation that includes a master timeline and weekly action plans to help you develop: 1) a sense of how long it will take you to finish and 2) a clear set of dissertation tasks you can complete on a day-to-day basis.
- We will meet with you every week to review your progress, coach you to overcome challenges, and set new goals.
- As dissertation coaches, we help you maintain an accurate and realistic work plan to keep you on track.
- We provide unlimited email communication as a way to support you, create a sense of accountability, and to make sure you are on task.
- Dissertation coaching is provided on a monthly or project basis. There are no contracts to sign or long-term commitments to make.
