This course is hands-on and outcome-focused ayou don’t just learn concepts, you leave with a search strategy, a synthesis matrix, and a draft outline. It suits Master’s/PhD students at any stage (even

I recently completed GradCoach’s Literature Review course and found it exceptionally practical and well-structured. The step-by-step approach from scoping and search strategy to synthesis and writing helped me turn a messy pile of papers into a clear, defensible review plan.

From Panic to Progress: How Dr. Ethar Helped Me Succeed

I’m truly grateful for Dr. Ethar Al-Saraf’s guidance and encouragement throughout my dissertation journey. He was patient, understanding, and always clear in his explanations, which made complex academic concepts much easier to grasp. His feedback was constructive and insightful, helping me stay focused and make steady progress.

What I genuinely appreciate about Dr. Ethar is that he’s never boring to talk to, hi sessions are engaging, motivating, and filled with practical advice. He has an incredible way of helping me stay calm whenever I start to panic or feel overwhelmed about my dissertation. Despite the limited time I had, I learned so much from him, far more than what I had learned in university about how to properly plan and write a dissertation. He was very thorough in explaining things and made sure I truly understood every step of the process.

I’m happy to share that I received my result yesterday, and I was absolutely over the moon when I found out that I had passed my dissertation! I had to inform Dr. Ethar right away because I knew how much his support contributed to that achievement.

Grad Coach may be quite pricey, yes, but it’s absolutely worth it. We’re investing in our future, and it’s only fair that we get the best instructors to guide us—and Dr. Ethar is certainly one of them.

I’m beyond grateful for his patience, expertise, and kindness. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and inspiring coach.

Dr Lalani

Dr. Al-Saraf assisted me well on the literature review, as well as made sure I was ready to go for the dissertation defense. He was reassuring and made sure you heard the entire truth. I am grateful to have him guide me to the finish line!
