Online academic coaching, in four tracks, that keeps the work yours

One 60-minute, one-to-one session. You leave with something written to keep: a milestone map, a “how I work best” profile, a study-system plan or a return-to-school plan, depending on the track. The fee counts in full toward a package if you continue.

Writing a thesis or dissertation? Start with Dissertation & PhD. If ADHD or a neurodivergent brain is part of the picture, ADHD & Neurodivergent. For general study skills and executive function, College Success. Going back to school as an adult, Adult Learner. If more than one sounds like you, start with the one that names your biggest hurdle right now. Not sure? Book a free consultation and we’ll point you to the right fit.

Yes. Sessions run online, so there’s no commute to squeeze in, and we book them around your job and family, evenings included. Your starter session turns the hours you really have into a written plan. If you’re returning to school as an adult, Adult Learner Coaching is the track built for this.

Every coaching track starts with a starter session whose fee counts toward a package, and editing starts with a quote in writing before any work begins. You always get pricing up front: starting prices are on each track above, and each track’s page lists its options in full. Monthly plans are paid at the start of each month and run month to month. We recommend three months, but you can stop any time before your next month begins. Term packages, and three-month packages on Dissertation & PhD, are paid in two parts, half at the start and half at the midpoint; editing is paid half when you accept the quote and half when we return the edited file. If none of the tracks fit, we can build a custom online academic coaching plan around your goals and the life you’re working around. No VAT added, subject to change.

Sessions are one-to-one on Microsoft Teams, in your browser. Monday to Friday, email or WhatsApp us between sessions and you’ll hear back within one business day. On Saturdays and Sundays, when a lot of coursework actually gets done, send a quick question on WhatsApp and we’ll usually reply the same day: a short answer to get you unstuck, not a full review. Longer feedback and sessions happen on weekdays. Need to move a session? Give us 24 hours' notice and we’ll rebook it. Later cancellations and no-shows count as used, and unused sessions can be rebooked within 30 days.

No. This is the line we don’t cross. We coach, give feedback, and edit your own words, always shown as tracked changes you approve. We never write your dissertation, essays, or applications, or do your coursework. Your degree stays yours.

Yes. Coaching, feedback, and editing of your own writing are standard and permitted at most institutions. What isn’t allowed is another person producing your ideas or your text, which we never do. Policies vary by program, so check yours; we work within it.

Yes, and it’s a core strength. We coach and edit in English and help your ideas read clearly without flattening your voice or writing it for you. We work with Dutch, international, and US non-native speakers. We work in English and don’t offer Dutch-language services.

Yes. Everything is online, across time zones. ECS is based in The Hague and works with students in the U.S., the Netherlands, and beyond.
