Feeling stuck in your thesis?
Build clarity, confidence, and structured progress with personalised mentorship designed for working postgraduates.
Why Is Finishing So Hard?
Because research isn’t just about writing.
It’s about thinking clearly when your brain is exhausted.
It’s about making decisions when your supervisor is silent.
It’s about finding your voice amid deadlines, parenting, and pressure.
Most working postgraduates don’t need another webinar or downloadable template.
You need real support.
You need someone who will listen, help them prioritise, and keep them moving—even on messy days.
Is this membership right for you?
This mentorship is designed for postgraduate students who:
🔹 Feel overwhelmed by the thesis process and don’t know what to focus on next
🔹 Are tired of feeling alone and unsupported in their research journey
🔹 Struggle to balance writing with full-time work or family responsibilities
🔹 Have lost confidence in their ability to finish and need structured guidance
🔹 Want clear, practical feedback on their chapters instead of generic comments

This isn't a course. It's a lifeline
This programme isn’t built on theory. It’s built on years of experience with real students who were stuck and needed a way through — fast.
It’s not about telling you what to do. It’s about walking with you as you learn how to do it, your way.
Most academic programmes give you more information.
We give you transformation.
At Research4You, we’re not handing you another folder of worksheets or a list of writing tips you’ll never use. We’re walking with you — in real time — as you think, write, get stuck, get frustrated, get back up, and get it done.
This is mentorship the way it should be:
✔️ Human.
✔️ Adaptive.
✔️ Deeply attuned to the lived experience of working postgraduates.
Price and Investment
The Stuck to Submission Mentorship is an investment of only R995 per month.
For this, you receive structured bi-weekly coaching, personalised guidance, content reviews of your work, and the clarity to move forward confidently in your thesis. It’s a small price compared to the stress, time, and opportunities lost by staying stuck.
Imagine how it will feel to know exactly what to do next, supported by an expert who understands your journey and is there to guide you every step of the way.
Why This is Worth the Investment?
Your thesis isn’t just a document, it’s the culmination of your years of learning, sacrifice, and commitment. But the reality is, staying stuck costs far more than money. It costs you:
🔹 Time – months or even years spent feeling overwhelmed, rewriting sections without clear guidance
🔹 Energy – emotional exhaustion from trying to figure it out alone
🔹 Opportunities – delayed graduation can hold back your career, professional growth, or personal plans
This mentorship is an investment in clarity, confidence, and structured progress. Instead of wasting time feeling lost or unsure, you’ll gain:
✅ Expert bi-weekly coaching to keep you focused and moving forward
✅ Detailed chapter reviews that improve your writing and academic quality
✅ Personalised support and accountability so you never feel alone in this journey
💡 Imagine the relief of submitting your thesis knowing it represents your best work – and the pride of finishing what you started.
This mentorship isn’t just about getting it done. It’s about building the skills, confidence, and clarity to finish strong and take your next steps boldly.
How are we different from traditional mentorship?
Not a course. A conversation.
We don’t hide behind pre-recorded modules or automated systems. Our mentorship happens live — in real time — so your support grows with your research.
Flexible, Not Formulaic.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all advice. Whether you're writing your first chapter or navigating messy feedback, we adapt our support to meet you where you are.
Accountability Without Shame
We know life happens — work deadlines, childcare emergencies, grief, burnout. We hold you accountable with compassion, not pressure.
High-Touch Mentorship
This isn’t a passive membership. You’ll have direct access to Dr. Sandra and a small group that actually knows your work — and cares about your progress.
Strategic and Emotional Support
Sometimes you need structure. Sometimes you need a place to cry or vent. This space holds both, because your research is more than just words on a page.
How It Works
Wondering what to expect when you join the Stuck to Submission Mentorship? Here’s how we work together, step by step, to move you from feeling overwhelmed and stuck to writing confidently and submitting with clarity and pride.
Meet your mentor
I have created the Stuck to Submission Mentorship because I have seen too many brilliant postgraduate students give up, not because they couldn't do the work, but because they didn't have the right support.
As a research mentor with a PhD and over 350 postgraduate students supported since 2017, I understand the highs and lows of this journey. This mentorship is my way of offering structured, human support that actually meets you where you are — no jargon, no judgment, no fluff.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this just for PhD's?
No, this is for any person enrolled in a postgraduate programme who has to submit a thesis, dissertation or research article.
What if I fall behind?
That’s why we’re here. We’ll adjust the pace and help you keep going — no guilt required.
Do I need to attend every session?
Sessions are recorded. Join live when you can — rewatch when you need.
What if I’m still in the early stages of my research?
Perfect. The earlier you get support, the easier it is to avoid costly delays and confusion later on. Whether you’re still refining your topic or drafting your first chapter, we’ll help you build a strong foundation — with clarity, structure, and momentum from the start.
I already have a supervisor — why would I need a mentor?
Supervisors are essential, but they’re often stretched thin and focused on academic outcomes. This mentorship complements that relationship by offering consistent, personalised support — helping you stay on track between meetings, navigate overwhelm, and make confident progress.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, this membership is here when you need it. You can always join us again at a later stage.
Ready to Stop Spinning and Start Submitting?
You don’t need to be more disciplined. You need the right kind of support.
With the Stuck to Submission Mentorship, you’ll get structure, feedback, and accountability that actually fits your life — so you can finally move forward.
Your future self — the one holding a submitted thesis — will thank you.
Spots are limited to 15 students per intake.
