Our Team of Dissertation Coaches
Dissertation Success Institute has a team of dissertation coaches that have been coaching doctoral students, helping them finish their dissertations and earn their doctorate. Your dedicated dissertation coach is available to help you overcome any and all of your research obstacles. With over 50 years of research experience, our dissertation coaches are adept at handling any challenges you face with your research studies, industry data analysis, survey research, journal articles, theses, dissertations, and program evaluation.
Our program is unique because of our one-on-one, personal, unlimited dissertation coaching that is custom-tailored to your personal needs. We start our process with our free strategy call, where one of our dissertation coaches talks with you about your current status, topic, methodology, chair, committee, timeline, objectives, and the challenges you face in finishing your dissertation. We carefully consider all those factors and provide you with a personalized recommendation for you to finish your dissertation and graduate. Our dissertation coaching boot camp program is the only program that offers unlimited phone, email, text support during your dissertation boot camp.
The Dissertation Success Institute was founded in 2013 by a university professor that recognized the need for high-quality yet affordable resources for doctoral students. Since then, we have expanded our team of coaches providing comprehensive one-on-one private coaching to dissertation students.
All of our Ph.D. coaches have earned their doctoral degrees. They currently serve as university professors, researchers, consultants, and more. Most have served as a chair or member of a doctoral committee. Below you will find a brief bio for some of our coaches.
