“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. The rates are extremely affordable, and the information and coaching are invaluable. I highly recommend Beyond PhD Coaching to anyone who is working on their dissertation.”
–Kris Mudd, LPCC
“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
“Nicholas made the editing process easy. He was punctual in meeting the timeline and not only edited my paper but also provided valuable feedback regarding the changes. I would highly recommend Nicholas and will certainly contact him next time I need an editor.”
–Carol Lamb
“Nicholas is an amazing person and an outstanding editor. In the space of a few days, he helped me turn a document that I had been struggling with for months into a committee-approved paper. I could not believe it. I sought his expertise again when I had difficulty getting my Prospectus approved, and the favorable results were the same: after only a few days, I submitted the paper and received full committee approval. Another, “I could not believe it,” moment. Nicholas takes the time to discuss the needs of his client and then develops a mutually agreed upon revision plan. I will continue to seek Nicholas’ advice and expertise as I move forward in my dissertation process, and would recommend him to everyone that is experiencing writing challenges and wants help.”
–Vernice Haddix
“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
“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
“Steve is an excellent communicator with a passion to help his clients succeed. He provided me with outstanding guidance during a critical time in my doctoral process. Not only was he able to evaluate my work and refer me to outstanding editorial sources, but he was invaluable in helping me to navigate the murky political waters that can exist in the doctoral journey. He gave me great advice and helped me to stay focused with my eye on the prize.”
–JR Carlisle
“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. Steve cares for people, and he goes the extra mile to help them achieve their post-doctoral goals, whether these are academic, research, or commercial in nature. I am grateful for his guidance and for having him as a mentor, teacher, and friend.”
–Dr. Enid Alvarez
“Nicholas is an excellent editor and he helps students create masterful dissertations. The rate is reasonable he and turns work around in a timely manner. I unhesitatingly recommend him to you!”
–Dr. David Banner
“I want to appreciate you for the thorough and incisive review you did of my dissertation. The revision and editing were so thorough and in no small measure contributed to the accelerated approval I received at different levels on my dissertation. The University Form and Style Unit gave clearance after the first review, which was unprecedented. Indeed, the review added so much value and that is why I have not hesitated in recommending your professional services to my colleagues in the doctoral class. Relative to the work done, your pricing was cost-effective. Once again, I remain grateful for your professional support.”
–Jude Ememe
“With your support, I became a PhD. I highly recommend you to any student. Thank you!”

–Joe Smith
“There are few people who have the skill to holistically and intuitively guide people toward the achievement of their life’s goals. Dr. Tippins is one such person. He is gifted with the foresight, patience, and knowledge to help doctoral students navigate the many pitfalls encountered during the dissertation process. 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.”
–Ian Briggs, PhD
“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.”

“Being introduced to Mr. Tippins was a Godsend. The more I got to know him and learn from him, the more I trusted him—he was truly a joy to work with. He was very thorough and understanding of my unique situation. He showed me how to write effectively, and let go of my fear, and embrace writing. He has become a great friend of mine during this journey and I will be forever grateful to him. I will be using him permanently going forward. Thank you for introducing me to a different way of writing and for being a great editor. Happy writing”
–Kay
“Nicholas Tippins was able to give me intelligent, critical feedback to assist me in the development of my paper. When you are working on a doctoral degree, you need more then just spellcheck and auto correct. You need someone to provide a fresh perspective, to clarify and refine your points. Nicholas is an excellent editor with a great command of the English language and the ability to help convey concepts clearly. I was very pleased with his feedback and suggestions.”
–Terrance S. Ransom, Ph.D.
“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.
“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.”
