For Chairs/Co-Chairs, Committee Members, and Professors


If you are a chair, co-chair, or on a committee seeking a specialized editing and coaching service for students grappling with English language challenges, I would love to assist! I am Dr. Laura Monroe, and I specialize in supporting non-native English speakers, speakers of non-standard English dialects, and individuals who learn differently on their path to complete their master's thesis or doctoral dissertation proposal/final submissions.


With over 30 years of experience in editing academic papers and more than 15 years dedicated specifically to theses and dissertations, I have refined over 1,000 thesis and dissertation documents to date. My PhD is in Education with a specialization in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, which equips me with a unique blend of skills and linguistic knowledge that makes me an effective academic editor for non-native English speakers, especially for papers that involve complex language use and discipline-specific content. I am an APA 7 expert, and also check for MLA, Chicago, and AMA guidelines compliance.


My services go beyond simple line editing; I also offer personalized coaching where needed, assisting students in navigating the complexities of academic writing and helping them present their research clearly and effectively. My goal is to empower your students to express their research findings confidently and authoritatively, contributing positively to your degree program.


Please feel free to direct your students to contact me at editing@thethesisgenius.com or through my website here at thethesisgenius.com. I also available to chat with them via phone/text, Skype/Zoom/MS Teams, Google Meet, or the medium of their choice. Thank you in advance, and I look forward to assisting your students on their journey!
