Coaching: Geoscience Dissertation and Report Writing

My aim is to help you get organised so that you can successfully scope, plan and deliver a great Geoscience Dissertation or Report.  You can get an idea of the rationale and what we will cover in this introductory video.

Remember, you don’t need to be at University to do a study. If you want to get experience, you can download data and use free software to do your own studies to gain more experience. I can help you with that too!

What We Will Do

In our coaching sessions we will aim to:

• Focus your background research
• Fine-tune your aims and objectives
• Review the database you are proposing to use
• Evaluate the methods you propose to employ
• Monitor and discuss your progress
• Discuss how to illustrate your results most effectively
• Test your scientific reasoning
• Verify your conclusions and more

To achieve all this we will ensure that you have a clear project and report plan from the outset that will enable  you to keep track of progress and avoid any issues before they occur.

How Will The Sessions Work?

We will be using Zoom for videoconferencing, together with a variety of collaborative Google Docs that we can work on together.

How Many Sessions Do I need?

That depends on how much help and guidance you need!  To help us establish your needs, we can start with a free session to get to know each other and define the issues.  Then we can take it from there.

Use the contact form to let me know that you want an introductory discussion, then I can send you a coupon code for a free session.

“Greg has been absolutely invaluable for inspiration and guidance throughout my studies in geoscience. He is very engaging and is fantastic at getting you to think through a question of your own accord (with pokes in the right direction!) Would highly recommend for anyone who not only wants to dig into their subject but also into their learning process as a whole.” MSc in Engineering Geology

“I met Greg as an instructor once on a training course for a Project Management Program in Vietnam. Beside knowledge and skills he conveyed to me, I also learned from him enthusiasm, professionalism and especially creative and inter-person approach to common issues.
