Mentorship Services for UK Postgraduate Researchers

Mentorship services

One-to-one academic mentorship for students at UK universities. Every engagement works the same way: a mentor in your own discipline reads what you have written, asks the questions your marker, supervisor or examiner will ask, and keeps asking until you can answer them yourself. We do not write, rewrite or submit work. Our academic integrity policy sets out exactly where the line is.

Pricing is per word, in pounds sterling, across three tiers — Scholar for undergraduate work at £0.025, Researcher for Master's-level work at £0.0375, and Fellow for doctoral theses and publications at £0.050. The same prices apply wherever you are reading this.
