Quick answers
Three quick answers
Why two rounds instead of one longer session?
Because the fortnight in between is where the work happens. Round one surfaces what is actually weak, you revise, and round two tests whether the revision held. One long session tells you the same thing twice.
I am defending in my second language. Does that change the mock?
Yes, substantially. We drill the recovery moves: buying time, asking for a question to be repeated, signposting an answer you are mid-way through. Those are what fail under pressure, not your English.
Do you coach me on what to say?
We rehearse and stress-test the answers you give; we do not write them for you. The thesis is yours to defend, and a committee can tell the difference between a candidate who knows their work and one repeating a script.
The clock starts when we confirm your case — not when you pay.

No ghostwriting, ever. We rehearse and stress-test your defence; the thesis and every answer in it stay yours.
