Research and dissertation coaching

Service Description

Research and dissertation coaching with personalized, one-on-one academic mentorship designed to guide graduate students through the complex, often overwhelming journey of academic research. Whether you're just beginning a proposal or preparing for your final defense, mentors on our platform help you stay focused, organized, and confident - because scholarship should never be a solitary struggle. This virtual service connects you with a curated network of mentors from diverse academic backgrounds and research traditions. Whether you're in a STEM lab, a social science program, or a humanities department, you’ll choose - or be matched with - a coach whose expertise aligns with your discipline, methodology, and goals. Our mentors include published scholars, experienced instructors, and former committee members with deep knowledge of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods research. They know the demands of MA, MS, MPH, MPP, EdD, and PhD programs - because they’ve lived them. We believe research is a collaborative and iterative process. That’s why this coaching is built around sustained, strategic support tailored to your academic context. You’ll work with someone who helps you navigate the graduate ecosystem - from managing your time and scaling your project to preparing for exams and communicating with your committee. What we help with: Time Management & Planning: Break down your research into manageable phases and stay on track. Proposal Development: Refine your research questions, align your methodology, and craft compelling proposals. Literature Reviews: Synthesize sources, identify gaps, and build a strong theoretical foundation. Article & Conference Prep: Write, revise, and present your work for publication or academic events. Exam & Defense Readiness: Practice presentations, anticipate questions, and build confidence. Committee Communication: Strategize how to engage with advisors, respond to feedback, and advocate for your work. Grants & Fellowships: Identify funding opportunities and strengthen your applications with targeted support. You’ll gain not only technical skills, but also the emotional and strategic support that makes the difference between burnout and breakthrough. Academic research is rigorous - but it doesn’t have to be isolating. With Another Degree’s coaching, you’ll have a trusted partner who understands the terrain and walks beside you every step of the way. Let’s turn your ideas into impact, together.
