Alexander Smith, PhD

With over a decade of experience in academic writing and research methodology, I have successfully guided more than 350 students through their dissertation journey across multiple disciplines. My expertise spans quantitative and qualitative research methods, statistical analysis, and comprehensive literature reviews. I hold advanced certifications in research design and have published extensively in peer-reviewed journals in Psychology, Education, and Social Sciences.

My specialization areas include APA, MLA, Chicago, and Harvard formatting styles, with particular strength in mixed-methods research approaches. I have successfully coached students through complex dissertation chapters, from proposal development to final defense preparation. My background includes a PhD in Educational Psychology from Northwestern University and 8 years as a university research coordinator, giving me insider knowledge of what committees actually look for.

Throughout my career, I have maintained a 94% student success rate, with over 320 successfully defended dissertations under my guidance. My clients consistently praise my ability to break down complex research concepts into manageable steps and provide actionable feedback that leads to immediate improvements. I have earned recognition as a top-tier coach in the platform, specializing in Psychology, Education, Social Work, and Business Administration dissertations.

What sets me apart is my commitment to personalized support – I work closely with each student to understand their unique research goals and academic challenges. My approach combines rigorous academic standards with emotional support, recognizing that the dissertation process can be overwhelming. Regular check-ins, detailed feedback, and 24/7 availability for urgent questions are standard in my coaching practice.

Beyond academics, I am passionate about hiking and photography, which helps me maintain the work-life balance I encourage in all my students. I believe that a well-rounded approach leads to better research outcomes and reduced stress throughout the dissertation journey.
