Help for Your Doctoral or Master's Thesis
The thesis support I offer can help you with a variety of challenges, using a combination of Zoom calls, written feedback and responsive emails.
Planning together, we can custom-design an approach that works for you, or you can choose one of my three signature approaches:
- A 30-minute private consultation: https://www.phdcoaching.ca/products/consultations
- A package of 3 hours of coaching spread over several weeks: https://www.phdcoaching.ca/products/individual-phd-coaching
- Workshops to address issues of common concern to PhD candidates, and discuss solutions with your peers. Laughter included! https://www.phdcoaching.ca/products/group-coaching
Your challenges will be unique, but here are some of the topics that PhD and Master's candidates find particularly helpful:
- Completing Your Thesis
Deciding it's time to be done! Whether you've hit a wall or have faced delays caused by illness or other challenges, I will help you wind up the thesis and move forward to graduation.
- Academic Coaching
Coaching with academic writing, interpreting your university's guidelines, or understanding what has to be done to complete a program--everything will be explained. I'm a believer in transparency.
- Editing and Proofreading
Perfecting your spelling, grammar, argument and structure. I work with your university's guidelines to ensure full alignment with their requirements. I observe strong ethical practices and use a coaching approach to help you improve your academic writing.
- Review of Individual Thesis Chapters
Providing honest but sensitive feedback on written work. This feedback can then be discussed during a zoom call. Chapters are reviewed in light of your preferred Style Guide (APA, CMOS, Harvard, etc.)
- Dealing with thesis feedback from supervisors.
Reviewing and discussing feedback from thesis Supervisors, whether it's negative or constructive. Finding the way forward to address what the supervisors are saying.
- Increasing Focus and Building Resilience for the PhD Journey
Coaching you through dealing with distractions, helping you to refocus, and finding strategies to overcome procrastination. I can suggest ways to reduce the pressure associated with deadlines, and manage the negative effects on stress and anxiety.
- Program Proposals or Admission Applications
Helping to prepare Research Proposals associated with university progression. Ensuring applications are preparing in line with the University guidelines.
