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.
Specialist access
Add capacity where specialist methods, software or statistics expertise is difficult to provide internally at scale.
- SPSS
- R
- Python
- Stata / NVivo
Digital infrastructure
Give researchers a consistent workspace for planning, tools and support navigation.
- Research Room
- Free toolkit
- Milestone planning
- Resource pathways
Targeted student groups
Create distinct pathways for international researchers, taught postgraduates, professional doctorates or final-year project cohorts.
- International cohorts
- MBA / MSc
- PhD / DBA
- Final-year research
Academic-integrity aligned
Support researchers without taking ownership of their assessed work.
- Teaching
- Coaching
- Feedback
- Legitimate editing
Programme review
Use agreed aggregate reporting and stakeholder feedback to improve the next delivery cycle.
- Participation
- Engagement
- Service demand
- Programme feedback
Implementation
A practical university implementation route
A clear implementation sequence keeps responsibilities, academic-integrity boundaries, communications and support routes understandable for both staff and researchers.
1. Identify the gap
Define where internal provision needs supplementary capacity.
2. Select the model
Choose workshops, clinics, support pools, platform access or a blended programme.
3. Pilot with a cohort
Test the delivery model with clear scope and eligibility.
4. Scale what works
Extend the programme only where there is demonstrated fit and demand.

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.
