What Sets Us Apart

student consulting a college professor

Experience

Having a PhD doesn’t mean you’re qualified to edit somebody’s dissertation. An expert dissertation editor needs to have experience as a dissertation chair and committee member. Each of our editors is a veteran dissertation committee chair who has guided many students to completion. 

Comprehensiveness

Every dissertation we edit gets a far more comprehensive review than what most services offer. We go way beyond a traditional review of spelling, grammar, and APA style. Unlike other services, we also look at alignment, structural issues, and whether each section matches your university’s requirements. We also address each one of your committee members’ comments. And that’s just the beginning. 

Personalization

Your dissertation isn’t revised by a faceless editor. We schedule a video conference or phone call with each of our clients. We take the time to get to know you and your research, and even your chair’s idiosyncrasies. You will have access to your editor throughout the entire process and afterwards. If you get your paper back with more comments from your committee, we will help you address those free of charge.

The 3-Step Dissertation Editing Process

Step 1: Initial Consultation

You talk with your editor via Zoom or phone. They assess your needs and get a complete picture of your research needs and the goals of your academic scholarship.

Step 2: Editing

Your editor performs the comprehensive edit, making sure to address any comments from your committee.

Step 3: Continued Support

After the editing is complete, you have a call to go over the revisions with your editor. If your committee sends your dissertation back with additional comments, we will help you address those. For those enrolled in our Premium packages, we offer ongoing support for as long as you need it.

What is comprehensive editing?

Most dissertation editing services only cover APA style, spelling, and grammar. But what most people actually need to satisfy their committee are deeper, more thoughtful revisions. 

We cover the basics, but we also address structural and developmental issues, committee comments, alignment, institution-specific guidelines, style, and continuity in the document. We give you explicit instructions about how to address your committee’s comments and create a draft ready for acceptance.

What Our Clients Say

I attribute my success in great part to his support and guidance.

There are few people we encounter in our lives that truly make a lasting difference and lifelong impact on who we are as people. Steve Tippins is one of them. His work is so impactful on his students and coachees because of his unique depth of experience coupled with true love for what he does and compassion for the people he works with. His ability to support and motivate people for who they truly are, with realistic expectations and considering outside influences, makes his coaching and partnership irreplaceable. I would be remiss if I did not attribute my success in great part to him and his support and guidance.


LeAnn Nowlin, PhD

I could not have achieved all of my post-doctoral accomplishments without his exceptional mentorship.

Dr. Tippins’ knowledge of both the academic and commercial domains ensures that once your doctoral journey is attained, you are kept grounded and focused on completing the next steps to be a sound contributor to positive social change. I could not have achieved all of my post-doctoral accomplishments without his exceptional mentorship.

I am grateful for his guidance.

Dr. Tippins is a remarkable mentor, taking an interest in his students’ research, and making sure to provide them with an organized structure to guide them through their dissertation process. I am grateful for his guidance and for having him as a mentor, teacher, and friend.


Dr. Enid Alvarez

I would still be lost without the coaching and support of Coach Steve.

I would still be lost without the coaching and support of Coach Steve. Not that I couldn’t figure it out myself, but as a distance learner and first-generation student, I needed someone skilled at working with my concerns. I had tons of imposter syndrome going on, but Coach Steve just simplified things, encouraged me, and advised until I got to the finish line of my dissertation. I am preparing to defend and feel so confident as Coach Steve has helped me find my voice during this process. I highly recommend Coach Steve to any doctoral candidate who needs that last bit of push to complete.


Loubert Senatus

The dissertation committee approved my work, mainly due to Dr. Steve Tippins.

A Doctorate of Business Administration program requires immense time and dedication. When I needed to develop a topic and research the gaps in the literature, I reached out to Dr. Steve Tippins. He mentored me through my 75-page dissertation proposal. As a result, my proposal successfully passed the University Research Reviewer (URR) and Institutional Review Board (IRB) examinations. After receiving my IRB approval number, Dr. Tippins held me accountable for the entire 175 pages of my work. The dissertation committee approved my work, and I successfully defended my dissertation on January 24th, 2022, mainly due to Dr. Steve Tippins. He is very easy to work with and always accessible; fees are very reasonable. I am Dr. Charlamaine Glover because of his mentoring system.


Dr. Charles Glover

His guidance helped me achieve both my goals.

As a coach, Dr. Tippins provided guidance on next steps I should take after graduating to achieve my goals. My primary goals were to complete an article that I could submit for publication and to become employed as an adjunct professor. His guidance helped me to achieve both in a short period of time.


Sam Long, Ph.D.

I am privileged to be associated with Dr. Tippins.

Dr. Tippins has provided post-graduate professional coaching and mentoring to support me (and several other doctoral colleagues) in navigating the professional world, business world, and academic world beyond graduation. His professional coaching and mentoring has helped to guide me and also has provided me with the wisdom and direction needed to make wise career-path decisions. I have benefitted from his guidance and give credit to his wisdom gained from his decades of experience. I am honored and privileged to be associated with Dr. Tippins.

Outstanding guidance during a critical time in my doctoral process.

He gave me great advice and helped me to stay focused with my eye on the prize.

Ian Briggs, PhD

With just one month of coaching from the Beyond PhD Coaching program, I was able to make significant progress.

I struggled for over two years in my Ph.D. program and was barely making any progress. With just one month of coaching from the Beyond PhD Coaching program, I was able to make significant progress.

Dr. Enid Alvarez

I highly recommend Steve to any student on their Ph.D. journey.

During the course of our lives, we meet some people who have a profound impact on us. Dr. Steve Tippins is one such person. I had the good fortune to have Steve as my Ph.D. coach. Steve provided feedback, ideas, support, and, most importantly, motivation for me to complete my dissertation and Ph.D. in a timely fashion. His guidance through the Ph.D. journey and his passion for caring support would benefit any Ph.D. student looking for a coach. I am grateful to have Steve as my coach, and I highly recommend Steve to any student on their Ph.D. journey.


Robert L. Ramirez

Without Steve’s coaching, I would still be looking for work.

After retiring from full-time work, I wanted to teach at a university but had no academic experience. Steve gave me lots of small tips about applying for academic jobs that collectively made a huge difference. I reached out to eleven universities and was pleasantly surprised to get five interviews – a much higher success rate than I expected. I have no doubt that if it had not been for Steve’s coaching, I would still be looking.


Bill W.
