What exactly is dissertation coaching?
Coaching can be likened to a rocket launch. The stages of a rocket launch are a complex and carefully orchestrated event. The success of a rocket launch depends on the flawless execution at each stage. You are the rocket and I, as your coach, am the rocket boosters. The boosters are an important part of the launch sequence as they provide the rocket with the drive it needs to get into orbit and reach its destination. Once the rocket is in orbit, the boosters naturally detach as the rocket continues to its final destination.

Embarking on the dissertation journey can feel overwhelming, and it's perfectly normal to feel a mix of excitement and apprehension. You're not alone in this. Many students find the process daunting, but with the right guidance and support, it can be a rewarding experience. Think of me as your dedicated partner in this process.
