Academic Mentoring
1:1 mentorship with a subject-matter expert — weekly meetings, methodology guidance, viva and defense rehearsal.
What it is
Academic Mentoring pairs you with a senior expert in your discipline for ongoing 1:1 coaching across the lifecycle of a major project. Weekly sessions cover progress review, methodology guidance, argument structure, and — when the time comes — viva and defense rehearsal.
This is Group B · Quality-Committed — outcomes that depend on third parties (your supervisor, your defense panel) are out of scope, but MAAS commits to expert credentials and process quality at every step.
Who it's for
- Master's, MBA, PhD, and DBA candidates working on dissertations, theses, or capstones over multiple weeks or months
- Students who want to grow research and writing skills, not just receive a finished draft
- Researchers preparing for viva, defense, or comprehensive exams
What you get
- Weekly 60- or 90-minute 1:1 sessions with your matched expert
- Tailored lesson plans built around your project milestones
- Methodology coaching — quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods
- Argument structure and literature review review
- Viva and defense rehearsal with mock questions
- Full session recordings stored in your workspace
How it works
- Discovery call — define your project, goals, and meeting cadence
- Expert match — we share the proposed mentor's profile for your approval
- Trial session — first session is structured around your most pressing milestone
- Ongoing cadence — weekly meetings on a fixed schedule
- Make-up sessions — if you or your mentor needs to reschedule (within policy limits)
