You're in the right place if you …

  • … study psychology, business psychology, sociology, human–machine interaction / human factors or a related field
  • … are writing an empirical Bachelor's, Master's or PhD thesis (quantitative or qualitative)
  • … want more sparring than you get at your department
  • … want to work rigorously — without anyone writing for you

If you are writing a purely lab-based thesis, a humanities thesis without an empirical part, or a pure programming project, I'm not the right person. You will find better fits elsewhere.


Clarity

This is not a ghostwriting service.

I don't write for you, I don't write with you, and I won't appear as a co-author. What you get here is critical guidance: questions, sparring, methodological expertise, reviewing with notes and suggestions. The execution stays your work — that matters for your university's rules, and it's also the point where you actually learn something.

Let's be clear: these days, AI tools can produce text in minutes. But that's exactly not the point — and not what I offer. A thesis isn't text that something generates for you; it's the proof that you can think and work scientifically. I guide you in building that ability yourself — so that you understand your work and can stand behind it. No generated text can do that for you.
