Questions, answered.

Start with what you're writing. Haven't started yet? Begin with the Thesis Starter Course ($17) – the 8 competencies, one lesson a day. Writing a thesis and want me in your corner month by month? That is the Membership ($97/month): both courses, my AI Twin any hour, and live Office Hours with me once a month. Prefer to own the plan? The Thesis in 30 Course ($197) is the same plan on video, yours for life, with a year of my AI Twin – or the Workbook ($37) if you only need the plan on paper. Writing a journal paper → Paper in 30. Just the literature review → Lit Rev in 7 Course.

No – the earlier the better. The system works from day one, from defining your research question to your finished draft. Starting with structure saves you months of confusion later.

No. If you're stuck on the last 20%, the system helps you identify what's missing and finish. Many students join deep into writing and need structure to cross the finish line.

It grew up. The free lessons became a real course: the Thesis Starter Course ($17), hosted on The Campus, with all 8 guides and the citation manual included. Everyone who joined while it was free keeps their access. Free, forever. That's the deal.

No. The Starter Course teaches the foundations; the Workbook runs the 30 days. Start where you are.

Yes – the writing, not the whole degree. "30 days" means 30 days of focused, structured work. Some finish faster, some take longer. The point is not speed, it's structure: you know exactly what to do each day, which removes the paralysis that makes theses take years.

The workbook ($37) is the complete plan on paper – 30 days, 30 tasks, self-guided. The course ($197) is the same plan, plus me: I teach every step on video, and you get my AI Twin for one year.

The main way of working with me: the Thesis in 30 Course and the Paper in 30 Course, Lit Rev in 7, every workbook and template, my AI Twin any hour, and live Office Hours with me once a month – $97/month, cancel anytime. See the Membership.

Yes. The methodology is discipline-agnostic – it teaches structure, scientific reasoning, and writing process. Students from 160+ countries and dozens of disciplines have used it, from health sciences to engineering to humanities.

Bachelor's, Master's, and doctoral. Great theses differ in content, not in structure or the way you best write them.

Digital – a downloadable PDF, yours immediately after purchase and yours forever. Print it if you prefer paper.

Yes. The courses and workbooks are taught in English, but the methodology is language-agnostic – the structure and process work in whatever language you're writing. And the AI Twin answers in every language: ask it in German, Spanish, Arabic, or Hindi, and it answers you in that language.

A version of me, trained on my methodology, frameworks, and writing philosophy. It answers your questions with the same structured guidance I give my own students – available around the clock – included with the $197 courses (12 months) and while you subscribe to the Membership.

No. ChatGPT generates text. The AI Twin guides your thinking. It is trained specifically on my method, it does not write your thesis for you, and it answers the way I would in Office Hours: it reviews what you have, tells you what is missing, and sends you back to write the next half page yourself.

No. The Twin does not produce text for your thesis. It helps you structure your argument, clarify your thinking, and work through problems. The work is yours. The guidance is mine. That is teaching, not cheating.

Follow your university's rules – always. The Twin reviews and guides, it does not write, but if your institution has policies on AI-assisted learning, review them and ask your supervisor when in doubt. I teach students to use AI transparently and within institutional boundaries.
