"I absolutely love Dr. Lyn! One night I called her at midnight I was so distressed. My mentor had made 300 comments in my beautiful paper. I was broken, ready to give up. I called Dr. Lyn and she had me laughing out loud in five minutes. She helped with every one of the comments and I was in IRB within two weeks. I am now Doctor Lois! I could not have made it without the caring support of that white-haired grandma, Dr. Lyn. When she says she will stand by you, she means it. Through thick and thin, she will be there for you. If it takes 10 - 20 revisions, she will be there and smile all along the way. She is the most easy-going person I have ever met. I know she is my friend for life." (Dr. Lois, Walden University)
"I thought I was done---thought is the operative word here! The formal editor at Capella had other plans for me. That person slammed me with over 20 pages of changes for my dissertation. I called my editor, yes, I had paid another editor. That service just hung up on me. My wedding and honeymoon were two weeks away. I was devastated. A friend told me to call Dr. Walden. I didn’t. I gave it to my friend and told her to just handle it. Thank goodness she did. Dr. Walden took care of the whole thing in less than a week. I wish I had known about Dr. Walden first. She cost less than the editing service I hired who messed up my dissertation. Call Dr. Walden first. She will save you money and headaches!" (Dr. Amelia, Capella University)
I priced all the other coaches and Dr. Walden was not only less expensive than the others, she was the only one who would stand by me after my mentor and different committees tore up my paper. At first, I did not believe she would do this, but we have been together since March 2013 and she had revised my paper at least a dozen times not because of her mistakes, just because of this dissertation process. The price she quoted me has been the price that has stood—no hidden costs! She is the greatest!!! I am just waiting on the dean to sign, and I will be done. Without Dr. Walden, I would still be in Doc733 trying to get my prospectus submitted to Quality Review and IRB. I figure she has saved me about $6000.
Dr. Gerald, University of Phoenix |
I am one of those people who just can’t write. I am smart, book smart, but I just can’t get it down on paper at least not down on 200 pages of paper. It took me over a month to get up my courage to get my paper to Dr. Walden. I was embarrassed because it was such a mess. I was ready to give up and drop out of the doctoral program. One of my friends finally placed the call and put the phone in my hand. She told me I could trust Dr. Walden. I am glad I did. Dr. Walden coached me every step of the way, and I needed a lot of coaching. I am now a doctor thanks to Dr. Walden. There are no hidden costs…And she can cook! I stayed at her house twice for three days each time. That was the only way I could figure this thing out. She is the best.

"I didn't think I could afford a dissertation coach. Now I know it's foolish and a waste of money not to hire a dissertation coach. Dr. Walden saved me at least one quarter's tuition and probably a year or more of tuition. I came to her with a bunch of chicken scratches for a paper. Within one week, I was able to submit a draft of my proposal that my mentor sent to committee. Within two weeks of meeting Dr. Walden, I submitted my first three chapters to quality review and IRB. Within six weeks, I was collecting data. Within four months, I was a doctor. My only regret is that I did not call her one year earlier. She is magic!" Dr. Ted, Phoenix
