  • An applicationA statement of purpose, a research proposal, a CV or the email you want to send to a possible supervisor.
  • A plan that has slippedWe'll look at where you really are and rebuild a timeline you can keep, with the next few weeks spelled out.

How it works

  1. Send an email

    Say what you'd like help with, any deadline, and a few times that suit you with your time zone. Attach anything you'd like read.

  2. Get a reply

    Ify replies within two working days with a time and how to pay, or you can pay first and get an email to arrange the time. Sessions are with Ify, or with a graduate tutor when your topic needs a specialist.

  3. Talk it through

    You meet by video for 45 minutes, and afterwards you get written notes and your next steps.

Not sure a session is what you need? Write anyway and describe what's going on. You'll get an honest answer about whether a session would help.
