Academic coaching for demanding study projects

Clarity when your master’s thesis gets stuck.

Whether the issue is your research question, methodology, line of argument or supervisor feedback, I help you assess where you stand and develop sound next steps — especially when you study alongside work or in a university system that is not your first.

Typical starting points

Where are you getting stuck?

You do not need to know exactly what kind of support you need. The first step is to identify where your progress has stalled.

01

The research question is not yet viable

The topic is broadly defined, but the question is too wide, too vague or unrealistic within the time available. We narrow the scope and develop a manageable research frame.

02

The methodology does not fit the research question

You are unsure which method is appropriate or how to justify your decision. I help you compare the options and structure the research design.

03

The overall argument lacks a coherent thread

The chapters contain relevant material, but they do not yet form a convincing overall argument. We review the outline, transitions and logic as one connected whole.

04

Supervisor feedback has raised new questions

You have received comments but are unsure what to change first. I help you interpret the feedback and turn it into concrete revision steps.

05

Study, work and the deadline are colliding

You are studying alongside work and have little time for detours. We assess the current draft, prioritise the open tasks and define a realistic next step.

Working together

As much support as you genuinely need.

Sometimes a well-founded assessment is enough. Existing drafts and complex theses may benefit from a more comprehensive form of support.

01

For a specific bottleneck

Focused consultation

You are facing a methodological decision, want to refine your research question or need to interpret supervisor feedback. We analyse the issue together and define academically sound next steps.

OutcomeA clear decision and a concrete task you can act on.

02

For existing material

Review and revision

You already have an outline, proposal, chapter or draft. I review the agreed material, identify the most relevant weaknesses and provide clear, prioritised feedback.

OutcomeA robust revision plan with clear priorities.

03

For several connected stages

Ongoing thesis support

You want to develop a bachelor’s, master’s or MBA thesis in a structured way and obtain expert input at key points. We agree on concrete steps, interim drafts and feedback points.

OutcomeA structured process with fewer unnecessary detours.

Before we begin, you receive a transparent quote for the agreed scope of work.

About me

Turning complex problems into clear decisions.

I am an economist and work professionally as a manager and consultant. My day-to-day work involves structuring complex projects, assessing information, preparing well-founded decisions and turning many individual issues into a coherent overall picture.

These are also essential skills in demanding academic work: a clear research question, a viable structure, methodologically sound decisions and an argument you can defend with confidence.

My strength is working systematically with new topics and university requirements, reviewing the academic logic and developing a robust solution together with you. My style is direct, calm and pragmatic.

Frequently asked questions

What matters before we begin.

What type of academic work is this support suitable for?

Bachelor’s and master’s theses, MBA and continuing-education projects, term and project papers, research proposals, presentations and selected larger study projects.

Can I contact you with a draft already in progress?

Yes. Many collaborations begin with an existing draft, outline or specific feedback from the university. We first define the current status and the desired outcome.

What do you need for an initial assessment?

A brief description of the paper, its current status, the specific difficulty and the submission deadline is enough. If I need documents, I will ask for them specifically afterwards.

Is support available at short notice?

That depends on the scope, urgency and my current capacity. I assess each enquiry personally and tell you openly what is realistic within the available time.

How is the price determined?

Before we begin, you receive a transparent quote for the agreed scope. It states clearly which analysis, feedback or support is included.

Will you write the thesis for me?

Your work remains your own. I support you with structure, methodology, specific text feedback, revision and quality assurance. Responsibility for the content and submission remains with you.

Can the consultation fit around a full-time job?

Yes. Scope, appointments and interim stages are agreed around a realistic schedule. Clear priorities are especially important when studying alongside work.

Do you support other disciplines as well?

Yes, when the focus is academic structure, methodology, argumentation and quality assurance. I work systematically with the topic and university requirements and say openly when specialist subject expertise is required.

Initial assessment

Tell me briefly where things stand.

I personally assess whether I can support you meaningfully in terms of subject and timing, and reply with a proposed next step. Alternatively, contact me at info@evolvida.de.
