Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Our Coaching

What exactly do you mean by “coaching”?
We teach you how to conduct and write your research — we do not write it for you. Our consultants explain concepts, demonstrate techniques, and give structured feedback on your own work so that you develop the skills and understanding your degree requires.
Which universities in Kenya do you work with?
We support students from all accredited Kenyan universities including University of Nairobi, Kenyatta University, JKUAT, Strathmore, Mount Kenya University, CUEA, USIU, Masinde Muliro, and many more. We understand each institution’s specific research requirements and academic standards.
How much do coaching sessions cost?
Our fees vary depending on the scope of coaching, software training, and timeline. We offer competitive rates with flexible packages for individual sessions or full dissertation support. Contact us for a personalised quote.
Can I get coaching online or do I have to come to Nairobi?
Both options are available. We offer in-person sessions at our office in Bruce House, 4th Floor, Standard Street, Nairobi CBD, as well as virtual sessions via video call for students outside Nairobi or across East Africa.
How long does SPSS or STATA training take?
Most data analysis training sessions take 1–3 sessions depending on your dataset complexity and current skill level. We tailor the pace to your understanding so you leave each session confident, not rushed.
Is my research information kept confidential?
Absolutely. We maintain strict confidentiality for all coaching engagements. Your research topic, data, and personal information are never shared with third parties.
