How Does it Work?
Private tutoring and coaching by PhD-editors and statisticians
This service allows clients to speak directly with either one of our editors or statisticians about their project. We carefully pair each client with a consultant who is appropriately suited to the clients’ specific needs.
Perfect for the beginning stages of your project, a coach can help you refine your ideas, develop a research plan, and set out a writing schedule. Supervisor’s feedback is a common topic of discussion with our coaches or consultants. Clients often use our consultation services after they have received written feedback during a developmental edit or methodological/statistical review of an early-stage draft. This gives them the opportunity to review our editor's developmental feedback, ask questions, and, together, determine a plan to move forward with the paper.
Tutoring/coaching sessions are billed by the hour and generally conducted via phone or Zoom. The cost is $110/hour for a single session, with discounts on packages of 5 or more consultation sessions: 5 consultations = $100/hour and 10 consultations = $90 per hour.
Contact Us to discuss our one-to-one coaching and tutoring services in more detail.
Critical review and written feedback by PhD-editors and statisticians
With this service we provide written feedback on your drafts via our developmental editing & document review service. Your editor will analyze the structure of your thesis and strength of your argument in the course of editing your document and provide you with written feedback containing suggestions and advice on how to develop your work further. Alternatively, you statistician will review your documents and provide a critical review of your methodology, results, or discussion sections and provide you with comprehensive written feedback on how to improve each section.
Common issues addressed through this critical review service include:
- Conceptualization and planning
- Reviewing and critiquing sources
- Structure and logical flow
- Articulation, argumentation, and clarity
- Strengthening the methodology and research questions
- Review of instruments/measures
- Review and critique of data analysis plans
- Validity and reliability
- Assessment of statistical analysis interpretation
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of using a firm like yours, rather than a freelance editor?
There are several advantages to doing business with a professional firm instead of a freelancer. Here are just a few:
Quality: Dissertations are our specialty. Every day, our full-time all-PhD staff review, edit, and format dissertations. Not only are our dissertation editors and consultants experienced, but each one was hired through a rigorous screening process to ensure that you receive the highest level of quality services. A freelancer can say whatever they want about themselves and their abilities; we’ve trained and tested our staff to ensure that they are truly experts at what they do.
No Missed Deadlines: Freelancers are notorious for missing deadlines or disappearing after payment. A freelancer can only take on a few projects at a time, and if they become too busy, they may not prioritize your order over other clients’ orders. With a professional firm, you’re assured that your deadline will be met. If your editor or consultant becomes ill or is unable to complete the order, we can simply replace them with another one of our staff.
Flexibility: Every person is unique and comes with their own personality and stylistic preferences. If you find that you’re not connecting with your editor or consultant, we can replace them with another one to ensure that you’re completely comfortable. This is done at no cost to you.
Longevity: We will be here for you today, next month, and for years to come—as long as you need us.
Are your services confidential?
Yes, absolutely. All of your interactions and the work that we do for you are 100% confidential. We are happy to send you a Non-Disclosure Agreement before you submit any of your work to us.
Are you willing to sign a contract?
Of course! Once we agree to general terms, we will gladly draft a contract and send it to you for review and approval.
How long does it take to edit a dissertation or thesis?
Turnarounds can vary per the complexity of the order. However, we will always provide you with an exact turnaround before you proceed with your order. Typically, documents containing fewer than 50 pages will take 5 business days to edit, whereas full-length dissertations (100-250 pages) typically take 7-12 business days. We can often expedite our services, though rush fees may apply.
What if I no longer wish to work with my assigned editor or consultant?
Our editors are talented and professional, but sometimes two people’s personal styles simply do not match. The first step is to inform us about the problem. Most editors can adjust their style and approach to meet your expectations. However, if you find that your editor is still not meeting your expectations, we will exchange them with another editor until you are satisfied.
What if there are errors left in the edited copy?
While no edit is ever 100% perfect, typographical errors should be very rare. If you find any errors in your document, simply return the dissertation as soon as possible and we will fix the errors free of charge.
How do I know what level of editing will work best for my material?
Feel free to e-mail your dissertation to us and we’ll review and provide feedback on which type of editing may work best for you.
May I receive a sample edit of my own work?
Yes, absolutely! Please send us some of your material and we will edit one page free of charge. This will provide you with a good sense of our editorial style. The typical turnaround on a sample edit is one or two days.
Do you have any samples?Can I meet with my editor in person?
Most orders do not require in-person meetings. However, we can often schedule in-person meetings for projects that are particularly large or involved.
May I speak with my editor or writer over the phone or Skype?
Of course! Dissertation-Editor.com is focused on providing the absolute best in customer service. Our editor in chief is always available to you by phone, and most of our editing packages include direct communication with your editor.
Will you write my dissertation for me?
Absolutely not. We unequivocally refuse to write content for academic submission and will not support plagiarism or academic dishonesty of any kind.
How does payment work?
We offer a wide range of payment plans, though a deposit is always due upfront to initiate your order. We accept credit cards, checks by mail, PayPal, and bank wire transfers. Please note that if you are paying via check, we will wait until it clears the bank before moving forward with your order.
Is editing my dissertation or thesis considered cheating?
Absolutely not! Many professors expect their students to seek professional editing assistance to ensure that the text is free of technical errors and properly formatted. The service we provide focuses on improving the mechanics and clarity of your content rather than writing original work—which would be considered plagiarism.
What does the quantitative data analysis process consist of?
Quantitative data analysis is a five step process. The first step is to define your research questions and hypotheses clearly. The second step is to determine how you are going to measure each component of your research question. The third step is to locate data that meets your measurement definition and prepare it to be analysed. The fourth step is to analyse your data using an analysis appropriate for your measurement definition and data. The fifth step is to interpret your results.
What does the qualitative data analysis process consist of?
Qualitative data analysis typically consists of three phases: Data Coding, Data Analysis, and Results Interpretation. In the first phase, a series of passes is conducted using NVivo (or MAXQDA) software to identify and extract relevant themes. In the second phase, these themes will be used to analyse your qualitative data, thereby generating quantitative information about your qualitative data. As part of this process, the broader themes of your qualitative material will also emerge. The analysis will not only generate these themes, but also produce evidence supporting their existence and relative strength. For the third phase you will need to interpret these results.
What parts of the data analysis process do you help with?
All of them. We’re happy to support you with any and all of the processes, as necessary.
I'm in a rush to finish my project. Can I skip any of the steps of the process?
I'm afraid not. Each step in the data analysis corresponds to underlying mathematical realities of statistical analysis and all are necessary to complete your dissertation.
Can you help with my methodology section?
Yes, certainly! Our methodologists will help you develop your methodology section and ensure your research methods are sound and that your research questions are testable and can be answered using the methods you chose.
I just have a few simple questions I need answered. Can you help?
Yes, certainly. If our PhD-Academic Consultants who field calls and emails can help you, they will. If not, we would be happy to make a consultation appointment with one of our PhD-statisticians for £90/hour, who will certainly be able to answer your questions.
