Is your tutoring one-on-one or with a group?
Here at PhD Coach US, our goal is to give you highly personalized academic services. For that reason, we like to carry out our tutoring sessions one-on-one. No matter where you’re at in your education, our tutors will help you meet your goals. Many of our students are incredibly, incredibly bright but need assistance with their formal or academic English writing to really stand out. We work closely with each of our students to create a tutoring plan that addresses their needs, whether it’s essay help for college applications or dissertation help for our PhD students. If you think you’d be a good match for our personalized services, call us today.
What subjects do you offer tutoring for?
Our academic guides provide tutoring for a variety of subjects as well as applications and high-level research aid. We offer tutoring for all subjects involving research and writing, including A.P. US history, politics and government, and English, among others, for our middle and high school students. Our educators help you navigate college and university entrance applications and essays so that you submit high-level work that gets you accepted. And once you’re there, we help you thrive.

Do you offer tutoring services for college applicants?
We are glad to provide tutoring for students applying to selective colleges or universities.

Our patient and friendly tutors understand how you feel, and they work with you every step of the way to ensure that you write an essay that captures your true academic abilities. We will help you communicate professionally and at an impressive level so that your college will see your work and appreciate it, even among your competition. A well-written essay can mean the difference between getting into the school of your choice or not. So, if you’re in the midst of applying for college and universities or want to prepare for when that time comes, call us today. We will set up a meeting with one of our tutors to get you ready for college applications beginning today.
