Do any writing agencies provide personal tutors (i.e. face to face assistance with writing a thesis)?

Hi all

I basically need some assistance with my dissertation, which I'm due to submit this summer. The thing is I'm not just looking for a writer, but also a type of tutor who could help me along the way. I'm specifically in search of someone with very good writing skills, and not just knowledgeable of the specific topic at hand. This is important because I'm required to build up my dissertation over time and submit drafts along the way. So my question is, are there any agencies or independent writers who offer this type of service, where I can be gradually supervised in my writing, and aided in expanding my work? I would also like to meet up with the writer, hence a type of 'tutor' approach service. I have contacted a couple of writers, who unfortunately do not provide this type of service. So any suggestions on how I can go about finding what I'm looking for would be much appreciated.

As I'm new here, I'm not completely clued up about the rules, so my apologies in advance if my request is inappropriate for this forum :)

TIA

Keep your search on but essentially this writing industry thrived on the idea of writer and client being remotely located. And those who write academic thesis are more often than not the students themselves or part time freelancers.

You better consult your supervisor/professor to further your academic pursuits because the writing companies are simply ineligible or not scholarly enough to get their papers published in credible research journals. Enough said.

Unfortunately I'm not getting anything more than 4 sessions from my supervisor. 2 will be a discussion about my chosen topic, and the other two some corrections on my drafts. I don't expect any more than that to be honest. At this level, a lot more independent work and research is required I guess.

Perhaps someone with understanding in my subject area could be of assistance. I'm very hands on, so I'm not in search of someone who will do everything and I simply submit the work. I'm kind of looking for a tutor who will use the structure I give, references etc. and expand on it (it's physically writing it up that I'm sort of strapped for time with).

Thanks for the input.

Great, I am glad that you are doing justice to your education and treating it as a serious affair. Whats your subject area? Btw be careful while choosing that 'tutor'.I think you wont find anybody who will agree to meet you in person and work it out. Better to ask for the samples before assigning your "no-matter-how-little-work."

That's why all the help and reviews would be much appreciated. I'm a bit uneasy about taking the risk of just having work done over the internet by someone who I hardly corresponded with. You can't trust just anyone, hence why I'd prefer a London based freelancer/ agency, as I want to be able to have physical access. Even if I don't always use that route as a means for communication, I just want the option. I'm sure meeting just once would ease my mind a little and help me build that trust. I don't know if what I'm asking for is possible, but hey..I might as well try! lol...

you dint mention your subject area and it is clear your obsessed with some London-based thing than getting your work done. I don't doubt your sincerity but you can easily do your work on your own just minus the time you spend on longing for that elusive Londoner.:)

Well, hopefully not 'elusive' I seriously need the 'elbow grease'. I overlooked your question. My subject area is in higher education. Specifically, it's all about educational theories and methods catered for teaching science students. Like I mentioned, my preference for a UK based writer is not because I think they're better than any other, but rather because I'm also base in the UK and would like the convenient access :).

To be more specific, I'm basically looking for more of an editor rather than a tutor I guess. I don't need lessons on my subject area, I just need extended assistance on my writing (as I only get 4 sessions with my supervisor, who ony tells me where to do more research but gives no personal contribution to the writing). I think this should be much easier for a writer, considering I'll be doing more, if not all, of the work myself, I'm simply in need of someone to help me really polish my work and help me expand on it over time (section by section). Surely this service exists, right? am I in the wrong place? lol...suggestions would be much appreciated :).

I decided to look into editing companies, and I found an agency that provides a proofreading service and do workshops on how to write essays/ dissertations etc. I think with my supervisor and this service I should be good to go. I will be meeting them for a consultation next week. Having spoken to them briefly on the phone, I feel more confident about pushing forward with my dissertation. I think it just takes time, careful planning, thorough reading and perhaps help with improving writing skills.

For the benefit of anyone looking for the same type of assistance I am (i.e. not necessarily for someone to actually do your work for you, just the extra help), I will be back to provide a review (perhaps in a couple of weeks) to let you know how this type of service has helped me with my dissertation.

Thanks to all of you who kindly contacted me, providing some valuable advice :)

hmm. Perhaps you bumped into the right person who is unfortunately not a Londoner.

Is there a website that tutor how to write a dissertation online

Can anyone give me an idea where I can learn how to write a dissertation online? My dissertation advisor isn't very helpful. Thank you :-)

My best advice would be to search Google or Bing for : guidelines to writing a dissertation and learn from the available material. For example: google.com/search?client=opera&q=guidelines+to+writing+a+dissertation

If you can't put together a dissertation, you've got no business being at the University.

Your thesis advisor expects you know your away around a dissertation.

It's like a maze, a dissertation. I'll keep find out on the internet. Thank you all for your replies!

It isn't easy to write a dissertation. It is even harder to find a dissertation adviser who can help you because you need to be tuned into each other's thoughts, needs, and objectives. I know, it sounds overly dramatic. Truth of the matter is, a dissertation adviser can easily be found online. Everyone here has advised you as to how you can find one. The real question is, do you know how to write a dissertation paper? If you do not have even the simplest idea as to how you can kickstart your research by choosing your topic, outlining your sources, collating the sources, etc., no amount of help or advice from a dissertation adviser can help you. In fact, if you are capable of creating your research outline in a manner than you can easily accomplish, you should have most of the hard parts of the research done. Sometimes, you can also learn by using the examples of others. If you are really pressed to find an adequate adviser, you can always refer to dissertation papers that others have done before you. By reading the research of others and learning from how they completed their own dissertations, you will at least, have a starting point for your own work. When you have that starting point set, you can go back to your current adviser. Maybe then you will both have something to work on that can set the stage for your own dissertation work.

While there are many how to videos for dissertation writing on YT, and countless websites meaning to properly instruct you in the development of your thesis, not all of these tutorials actually work. Mostly because they assume that the student's won't ask questions, or they attempt to answer questions which may not be relevant to the work a student is doing. I guess that is why writing companies began to roll out video conferencing for thesis and dissertation writing pre-pandemic. It was a business that was really starting to pick up at the time. Students were paying for writers to write alongside them, comparing notes, exchanging notes, and collaborating wonderfully until the whole paper was completed. I am sure that the personal tutor service will make a comeback once everything settles down in terms of classes and how to attend them in a mixed learning setting.

I am not sure if the personal tutoring business actually took off in the way that it could have due to the prevalence of AI these days. However, there are still some independent writers who do not mind offering a writing guidance service these days. Most of them have taken to social media to advertise "seminars" that will teach you how to write your paper in a few days. These seminars often come with some consultation credits so students who still want to write their paper on their own take up the teaching offer. It is quite a popular ad on FB so there must be a market for it among the students.

Those of us with experience producing theses and dissertations are already used to this section-by-section process, as well as with the typical process of responding to and accommodating ongoing revision demands from reviewers. This is the only realistic way to go about outsourcing these kinds of projects, because combining our respective contributions (instead of just letting the writer provide each section) is much more cumbersome. I highly doubt that any writer, even one who happens to be in your area, will agree to in-person meetings, because of the extra time and inconvenience involved. It's not much different from asking an experienced website designer who normally works from the comfort of his home to meet you in person to discuss your website plans. There's really nothing that can't be communicated effectively by email. If necessary, phone conversations would be a more realistic option, and even that is rarely, if ever, necessary, unless it's the writer who needs additional clarification. At most, you could offer to pay for a supplemental written guide explaining how and why the writer produced each section. In ~25 years, I've had one or two clients ask for that, which isn't a problem as long as there's sufficient time available.

Generally, anytime you're dealing with an experienced and trusted service provider who has been doing something for a living for many years, (in any industry about which you probably know next to nothing, yourself), you really don't want to start off by imposing your expectations about how things are done in that industry or by that provider. If you need tutoring, you should hire a tutor; and if you need a dissertation written, you should ask the provider about his usual process and simply communicate whatever guidance and specifications you'd like to provide. Ordering a dissertation really isn't a learning opportunity, but simply a means of acquiring the specific service or piece of work that you need, just as ordering a new website isn't an opportunity to have the website designer help you learn how to design websites.

Just yesterday, for the first time in 25 years, a new prospective client (who also happens to live in NYC) insisted on meeting me in person to discuss his art project, to show me an example of a properly completed project. I provided my full name and location and told him that he could confirm that information through public sources, but I explained that this just isn't an efficient use of my time and that anything he wanted me to see could be emailed or uploaded for me to view.

Why didn't you just charge him for your time and meet him? I had clients before that felt more comfortable meeting me in person before hiring me. There are some OC clients that do insist on explaining things in detail during an in person meeting just because they gain more confidence in their writer that way. you could have also better assessed him as a potential client.

I've attended medical conferences to do journal projects for MaryAnnLiebert (liebertpub.com) and I've attended mandatory in-person training to write SAT practice tests for Princeton Review Books (princetonreview.com), because those were necessary and worth it to me for ongoing work from them, but I just didn't need the project enough to go meet someone for less than $200, which I figured he'd think was unreasonable. I don't chase after projects from reluctant or skeptical clients, and the deadline on this project is long enough that he could have just ordered a section of the project without meeting me and without risking as much money as he'd have been out just to meet me without receiving any work for that same money. If this ever happens again, maybe that's exactly what I'll suggest.


He said that he wanted me to see what the finished project was supposed to look like, not that he needed to meet me for his comfort. I simply explained that I've been doing this for 25 years without ever having to leave my apartment to meet a client and that there was nothing about this particular project that I'd need to see in person instead of reviewing photos or videos of whatever he wanted me to see, and I don't like changing my daily routines for anything that isn't absolutely necessary (to me). I have way too many other deadlines, a 4-5x/week workout schedule, a 2x/week (6:00 AM) summer hockey schedule for which I stay up all night (because I'd never be able to get to sleep by 8:00 or 9:00 PM to get up at 4:00 AM), constant board-of-director work to do for my building co-op, and I also like getting afternoon sun on my terrace whenever the rest of my schedule allows. The main reason I've chosen to do this kind of work instead of a traditional job, in the first place, is that I prefer to work from the comfort of my apartment.
