Build support around real researcher needs.
Rather than forcing every cohort into the same package, Thesis Tutors can combine live teaching, specialist clinics, digital research tools and targeted one-to-one support around the institution’s actual gaps.

- Welcome pathway
- Integrity boundaries
- Support routes
- Help centre links
Optional human support
Combine software access with clinics, workshops, support pools or specialist consultations rather than forcing every user into a paid 1-to-1 model.

Implementation
From pilot to institution-wide access
A clear implementation sequence keeps responsibilities, academic-integrity boundaries, communications and support routes understandable for both staff and researchers.
1. Scope
Confirm cohort size, programme need, admin model and required support components.
2. Configure
Prepare access, researcher onboarding, institution-specific guidance and agreed support routes.
3. Launch
Invite the initial cohort with clear instructions and a defined help route.
4. Review
Assess uptake, usability, support demand and the case for continuation or expansion.

Governance & quality
Supplementary support, with clear boundaries.
Thesis Tutors is designed to complement formal supervision and existing university services. We support researcher development through teaching, coaching, feedback, legitimate editing and specialist guidance; we do not write assessed theses or make academic decisions on behalf of researchers.
Academic integrity
Researchers retain responsibility for the ideas, analysis, arguments, decisions and final work they submit.
Privacy by scope
Institutional delivery can be designed around the minimum data needed for access, support and agreed reporting.
Human support
Specialist expertise remains central where judgement, teaching and methodological explanation are required.
Frequently asked questions
Questions institutional teams often ask.
Does Thesis Tutors replace university supervision?
No. Our institutional work is supplementary. Formal supervision, assessment and academic decisions remain with the university and researcher.
Can programmes be adapted to a specific cohort?
Yes. Delivery can be scoped around degree level, discipline mix, programme calendar, cohort size, research stage and the institution’s own policies.
How is academic integrity protected?
Support focuses on teaching, coaching, feedback, skills development and legitimate editing. Researchers remain responsible for the ideas, analysis, decisions and assessed work they submit.
Can we start with a pilot?
Yes. A defined pilot or clinic is often the simplest route for testing demand, delivery fit and administration before a wider programme is considered.
Start with a defined scope
Tell us the cohort, challenge and delivery window.
We can help you shape a pilot, clinic, workshop series, support pool or Research Room licence without committing the institution to a larger programme before the model has been tested.
