Research coaching supports social and human science postgraduate students through the thesis and dissertation process, from topic formulation to final submission. It is a capacity acquired thanks to our thesis and dissertation editing experience for close to 20 years, having edited documents submitted to universities all over the world. Oracle LSP’s coaches are PhD holders with experience supervising and examining at South African and other African universities including Cameroon, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Namibia, the DRC, Botswana as well as the UK, the US, Australia and Canada.

We help with research question development, literature review strategy, methodology selection, and data analysis planning. Unlike editing, where we handle academic research in all disciplines, coaching focuses on social and human science content and argument structure before you write. This reduces revision cycles and supervisor feedback loops.

Sessions are 45-60 minutes via video call. You can book ad-hoc sessions or a 12-week program covering proposal to chapter 3. We also review draft chapters and provide feedback on coherence, referencing, and academic tone.

Confidentiality is guaranteed. We do not write your thesis for you. Our role is to guide, clarify, and strengthen your research design so you meet university standards independently.

Ideal for students stuck at proposal stage, facing supervisor delays, or preparing for viva defense. Book a free 20-minute consultation to discuss your project
