The Grad Coach difference
On-Demand Access
Getting help is simple. Book a live session, message your coach or send your results chapter for an in-depth review. We're here when you need us.
Insider Advantage
Every coach holds a doctoral-level degree, and many have supervised dissertations themselves, so they know exactly what examiners look for in a results chapter.
Submission-Ready Support
We make sure your data analysis is sound, well reported and tied to your research questions. No guesswork, no panic. You submit your work with confidence.
You Stay the Author
We guide; we don't write. Every word of your data analysis and results chapter is yours, which is why 500+ universities refer students to us for ethical support.
What students want to know
Here are some of the most common questions we receive about data analysis support. If yours isn't here, book a free, no-pressure consultation.
How much does data analysis help cost?
The initial consultation is completely free. If you decide to work with us, coaching is priced on a time basis.
I'm new to data analysis. Can you help?
Yes. We regularly work with students who are completely new to data analysis, qualitative or quantitative, and guide them step by step until they understand their data and what it says.
Can you analyze my data for me?
Partly. For qualitative research, our qualitative coding service handles the first round of coding, which gives you a firm foundation for your analysis.
For quantitative research, we can run the statistical tests for you and give you the output, provided your university allows this kind of support.
In both cases, we don't interpret your results or write them up, but we coach you through the interpretation so you can write it in your own words. Just check your institution's rules on data analysis support first, as policies vary.
Can you write my results chapter for me?
No. All writing has to be your own. We'll guide you through every step of your data analysis and give you detailed feedback, but writing it for you would be academic misconduct.
What actually happens in a coaching session?
You meet your coach one-on-one on a video call and work through whatever you're stuck on, with your data or draft on screen. Between sessions, you can send chapters for detailed written feedback or ask quick questions by email.
Which analysis methods can you help with?
Most of the qualitative and quantitative methods common in the social sciences.
On the qualitative side, that includes thematic, content, narrative and discourse analysis, grounded theory and interpretative phenomenological analysis.
On the quantitative side, it includes descriptive statistics, t-tests and ANOVA, chi-square tests, correlation and regression, and factor analysis. You'll find the full list on our dissertation statistics help page.
Can you help me choose the right analysis method?
Yes. We help you choose methods that fit your research aims, your research questions and the kind of data you have, and explain the choice in a way you can defend.
Which software do you support?
We support the most popular packages, including SPSS, R and Excel for statistics and NVivo for qualitative analysis. If you're using something less common, ask us in a free consultation and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.
Can you help me find data for my study?
If you're doing secondary research, we can help you find suitable datasets. If you're collecting your own data, we can help you design and host your surveys, questionnaires and other instruments, but we can't source the data on your behalf.
Can you help me structure my results chapter?
Yes. We help you structure your results and discussion so they flow logically and build a clear, convincing answer to your research questions and aims.
Will my coach know my subject?
Our expertise lies in research methodology and data analysis, the skills every study needs, whatever the field. You bring your topic and your data, and we help you make sense of both. If a particular coach's background suits you, you're welcome to book with them directly.
Will my work be kept confidential?
Yes. Your work and your data are treated as confidential and never shared or published. We're happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement if you'd like one.
What our clients say
We've worked 1:1 with 10,000+ students. Here's what some of them have to say:
“Every time I hit a wall, Grad Coach got me unstuck.”
“I went from 'no idea' to 'I've got this'”
“I finished my degree nine months early.”
“Grad Coach helped me focus on what actually matters - and get a first!”
“With Grad Coach, I finally felt that I could complete my PhD.”
“I honestly thought this would be the one big failure of my life.”
“Grad Coach gave me structure, clarity, and confidence.”
I wound up landing a distinction!
Grad Coach absolutely saved me during the dissertation process. Going back to university for a master’s degree 30 years after undergrad is not for the faint of heart, much less in another country where the writing and grading standards are different.
Coach Ethar really helped me develop a clear strategy for organising my research, references and paper and gave me great feedback on what to prioritise and what to cut. His understanding of what academic markers want to see is so helpful. I would have been way off the mark without his insights. He also let me just vent when I was struggling and made me laugh, which was much needed during a really challenging process.
I wound up landing a distinction on my paper thanks to his amazing support. If you are struggling with academic writing in any way, shape, or form, reach out to this company ASAP — they are a Godsend!
