A mentor's job is to make you the person in the room who can defend the work. Not to produce the work. That distinction runs through everything on this page, and it is why this reads differently from most of what you will find when you search for support with a UK dissertation or thesis.
The quickest way in is to message us and say what you are working on. Everything below the request flow explains who you will be talking to, and on what terms.
Talk to us first
Every enquiry goes to the same place before it reaches a mentor. That is deliberate: a person reads what you have written, works out which mentor you actually need, and tells you if we do not have one.

Enquiries and mentor matching
Mia handles first enquiries and matches students to the right mentor. She is not a mentor and does not provide the academic mentoring herself — her job is to understand what you need and put the right person in front of you. She graduated from the University of Liverpool and moved from India to the UK to study, which tends to help if you are enquiring from outside the UK.
What happens after you message. Mia reads it, asks anything that is missing — usually your level, your university and your deadline — and comes back with a proposed match and a price in pounds. Mentors and enquiries are covered Monday to Saturday, 9am to 10pm GMT. We have not published a response-time commitment, and we would rather say that than invent one; if a response time matters to you, ask for it in your first message.
Find a mentor by discipline
Pick your subject. Each card opens WhatsApp with a message already written, naming the discipline — add your level and what you need help with, and send it. Nothing is charged, and nothing is committed, by sending a message.
Business & Finance
Computer Science
Health & Nursing
Law & Jurisprudence
Social Sciences
Marketing & Consumer
Human Resources
Engineering
Oil, Gas & Energy
Not listed, or not sure which one you are? Message us anyway and describe the subject in your own words, or send an email with the details pre-filled. If your sub-field is not covered, you will be told so.
The mentor counts on the cards above are Global Projects Help's own published figures and have not been independently audited. They are shown because students ask how deep the bench is in their subject, not as a verified headcount.
Your mentor
Once you are matched, you work with one named person, not a pool. This is where those people will be listed.
What a mentor does
Mentoring here is one-to-one and discipline-specific. A mentor in your own subject reads what you have actually written, asks the questions your marker, supervisor or examiner will ask, and keeps asking until you can answer them without help. Five service lines describe most of that work.
- Methodology guidance. Whether your design answers your research question; sampling, instruments, validity, reliability, research ethics, and the limitations you will be asked to own. Not “which method is best” but “why this one, here, and what it costs you”. Methodology mentoring.
- Literature review support. Finding the work you have missed, then teaching you the search and appraisal habits so that next time you find it yourself. Synthesis rather than summary — the commonest reason a UK literature review loses marks.
- Data analysis coaching. Walking through your own output in SPSS, R, NVivo or Python until you can say what the numbers or the themes mean, what they do not mean, and which test or coding frame was the right one. You run the analysis; the mentor interrogates your reading of it.
- Originality review. Reading a similarity report with you and explaining where the matches come from — usually quotation habits, paraphrase that stays too close to the source, or a reference list that does not match the citations. The output is better citation practice, not a lower number by other means.
- Viva and defence preparation. Full-length mock vivas, an examiner-style written report, and rehearsal of the questions that actually get asked. PhD viva preparation, and separately the progression examination nine to eighteen months in.
If you would rather read than book, the guide to the questions examiners ask in a PhD viva and the blog cover much of the same ground for free.
What a mentor will never do
This is the section worth reading twice, because it is where we differ from most of the results that surround us in search. A Global Projects Help mentor does not write, rewrite or submit your work. There is no version of this service in which text arrives that you then hand in as your own.
A mentor will
- Read what you have written and tell you where an examiner will push
- Explain why a method fits your research question, or why it does not
- Coach you through your own SPSS, R, NVivo or Python output until you can interpret it unaided
- Show you why a passage reads as weak, and what a stronger version would have to do
- Teach you to read a similarity report and repair your citation practice
- Run a full-length mock viva and give you a written, examiner-style report
- Tell you, plainly, when the work is not ready
A mentor will never
- Write any part of your essay, dissertation, chapter or thesis
- Rewrite your text so that the sentences become theirs rather than yours
- Submit anything to your university, to Turnitin or to a journal on your behalf
- Sit in, attend, or speak during your viva or any other examination
- Ask for, or use, your university login, VLE or Turnitin credentials
- Take a timed assessment, test or online exam for you
- Guarantee a mark, a classification, a pass, or a publication
- Disguise, launder or “remove” similarity in a Turnitin report
- Be added as an author, or add anyone else, to work you submit
If a request would mean a mentor producing text you then submit as your own, the answer is no, and it stays no after you have paid. Mentors are instructed to refuse and to say why. Our academic integrity policy sets out the rule, the reasoning, and what happens if you ask anyway. It applies to every tier and every discipline on this page.
Two practical consequences. First, mentoring takes your time as well as your money: you have to do the reading, the writing and the analysis between sessions, or there is nothing to mentor. Second, your university's own regulations still govern you. UK institutions differ on what acknowledged third-party support is permitted, particularly for proofreading and for data analysis, so read your department's handbook and declare support where it asks you to.
How mentors are vetted
Every mentor is vetted on three criteria, which are the criteria the business has published since the service began:
- Publication record. Peer-reviewed output in the discipline they mentor in. The point is not prestige; it is that someone who has been through peer review has been on the receiving end of exactly the kind of scrutiny a UK examiner applies, and can anticipate it for you.
- Teaching experience. Experience of teaching, supervising or examining students, not only of doing research. The two are different skills. A strong researcher who cannot explain why your sampling strategy is weak is of no use to you.
- Subject depth. Depth in the actual sub-field rather than the broad discipline. A quantitative finance mentor is not a substitute for a qualitative marketing mentor, and we do not treat them as interchangeable.
The three criteria above are the business's long-standing published standard. The operational detail behind them — who checks the evidence, what documents a mentor has to supply, whether identity is independently verified, and how often a mentor is re-checked — has never been written down for students to read. It will be stated here rather than implied.
Three tiers, one method
The method does not change between tiers. What changes is the level of work being examined, and therefore the seniority of the mentor you need. Pricing is per word and in pounds sterling, and it is the same figure wherever in the world you are reading this.
| Tier | Level of work | From |
|---|---|---|
| Scholar | Essays, coursework and undergraduate dissertations | £0.025 per word |
| Researcher | Taught Master's and MRes research, dissertations and capstones — the tier most students choose | £0.0375 per word |
| Fellow | Doctoral theses, journal articles, and the viva | £0.050 per word |
Global Projects Help also publishes a band of years of professional experience for each tier — 5 to 7 years at Scholar, 10 to 12 at Researcher, and 15 to 25 at Fellow. Those are the business's own figures, taken from its homepage, and they have not been independently audited; read them as a statement of intent about seniority rather than a measurement. The same caution applies to the satisfaction and originality percentages shown elsewhere on the site, which is why they do not appear on this page.
How you are matched
Matching is done by a person reading your enquiry, not by a dropdown. Six things decide it:
- Level. Undergraduate, taught Master's, MRes or doctoral. A doctoral thesis and a final-year dissertation need different conversations even in the same sub-field.
- Sub-field, not discipline. “Computer Science” is not a match. “Federated learning for medical imaging” is.
- What you are stuck on. A research question that will not narrow, a methodology chapter a supervisor has sent back twice, output you cannot interpret, a viva in five weeks. Those point at different mentors.
- Method and tooling. Qualitative, quantitative or mixed, and whether the work runs through SPSS, R, NVivo or Python. A thematic-analysis mentor is the wrong person for a structural equation model.
- Your institution's rules. UK universities differ on what third-party support is permitted and how it must be declared. Your mentor needs to know yours before the first session, not after.
- Deadline. Honestly stated. A date you have already missed changes the advice, and we would rather know.
The discipline cards above are the fastest route, because the message arrives already saying what you need. If you would rather see a price first, the quote form asks the same questions and returns an estimate before anyone contacts you.
If the match is wrong
Sometimes it is. The mentor turns out to sit a sub-field away from your topic, or the working style does not suit you, or the first session makes it obvious that what you need is not what you asked for. None of that is unusual, and none of it is your fault.
Say so early and say so plainly — after the first session rather than after the fourth. Write to mia@globalprojectshelp.com rather than raising it only with the mentor, and name the gap: wrong sub-field, wrong level, wrong method, or wrong fit. The more specific you are, the better the second match will be.
If you tell us after your first session that the match is wrong, we will match you with a different mentor at no additional cost. You will not pay twice for the same stage of work.
Raise it within seven days of that first session. After that we will still re‑match you wherever we can, but the sooner you say, the less time you lose.
You do not need to justify the request beyond naming the gap. A mentor who is right for one student is not automatically right for another, and treating that as a fault would only stop people speaking up.
A session, and turnaround
Sessions are online, and mentors work Monday to Saturday, 9am to 10pm GMT, which covers a UK evening and most of the Indian working day. A session is not a lecture. You send work in advance, the mentor reads it, and the session itself is spent being asked about it — why this framing, what the alternative was, what an examiner would attack first. Expect to be writing notes, not receiving a document.
Afterwards you get written feedback on what you sent, and a short list of what to do before the next session. Nothing in that feedback is drafted text for you to paste in. It is comment, question and direction.
On turnaround, the only figure the business publishes is the Scholar tier's “within 72 hours” for written feedback. Be sceptical of anyone, including us, who promises a doctoral chapter read overnight: a mentor who has genuinely read 12,000 words and checked the literature behind it needs days, and a full-thesis read before a mock viva needs longer than that. Ask for the lead time on your specific piece of work, in writing, before you book.
Asking for a specific background
You are allowed to be specific, and specific requests produce better matches. The easiest ones to act on name a capability rather than a person:
- “Someone who has examined doctoral theses in the UK” — for viva and upgrade preparation, the most useful request on this list.
- “Someone who has sat on a UK upgrade or transfer panel.”
- “Someone who supervises at Master's level in a UK business school.”
- “Someone who works with NVivo and reflexive thematic analysis, not framework analysis.”
- “Someone who has published using structural equation modelling in consumer research.”
- “Someone who has written to NMC standards for a nursing dissertation.”
Add the request to the WhatsApp message before you send it, or email it. If the network cannot meet it you should be told so, rather than quietly matched to the nearest available person — so ask the question directly: can you meet this, yes or no?
Questions students ask
Will a mentor write my dissertation if I pay more?
No. There is no tier, no price and no deadline at which that changes. Mentors are instructed to refuse the request and to explain why, and the academic integrity policy covers what happens next.
Can I see who my mentor is before I pay?
Ask. No mentor is named publicly on this site at present, which is a gap we are not going to paper over. What you can reasonably ask for before committing is the relevant credential in writing: level, sub-field, and the specific experience that bears on your work.
Why does every message go to the same number?
Because matching is a judgement, not a search. One person reads every enquiry, so that you are put in front of the right mentor rather than the first one who answers. It also means there is a single thread to go back to if something is wrong.
Do mentors know the rules at my particular university?
Mentors work to UK academic conventions, and they will ask you for your department's handbook and your institution's academic-conduct and proofreading rules. Those rules differ between UK institutions, and the obligation to follow yours remains yours. Tell your mentor what they say.
Is my work shown to anyone else?
Your work is read by the mentor matched to you and by whoever handles the match. It is not published, resold, or added to any sample library. The samples on this site are written specifically as teaching examples and are not student work.
What if I only want one session?
That is a normal way to use the service. A single methodology conversation, or one mock viva, is often the highest-value thing you can buy. Say so in your first message rather than describing the whole project.
Can a mentor help if my supervisor has gone quiet?
Yes, and it is one of the commonest reasons students arrive. A mentor supplements supervision; it does not replace it, and you should keep escalating inside your department in parallel. The blog covers how to do that.
Describe the problem, not the word count
Tell us your level, your sub-field, what you are stuck on and when it is due, and you will get a proposed match and a price. Say in the same message if you want a mentor with a specific background — it is the fastest route to a good fit.
