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.
Cohort relevance
Adapt language and examples to the programme stage and research context.
- Degree level

- Tool links
- Next-step guide
Integrated pathways
Workshops can sit inside a longer programme with clinics or Research Room access.
- Workshop series
- Clinic follow-up
- 1-to-1 pool
- Digital workspace
Academic-integrity boundaries
Teaching remains clearly separate from completing assessed work.
- Skills development
- Feedback
- Examples

Implementation
Workshop delivery cycle
A clear implementation sequence keeps responsibilities, academic-integrity boundaries, communications and support routes understandable for both staff and researchers.
1. Brief
Agree the cohort, objectives and prior teaching.
2. Design
Build the session around realistic learning outcomes.
3. Deliver
Run the workshop live with practical exercises and Q&A.
4. Follow up
Provide agreed resources and identify appropriate next support routes.

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.
