Frequently Asked Questions

Below is some useful information - for anything else, feel free to contact us directly.

Contact Us
  • Can I speak with my academic?
    You can speak with your academic as and when you require it if you request the upgrade for direct contact when you order your project. Once we find the right academic for your project, we will make the arrangements for you to speak via our online tutoring platform or, if possible, face to face.

    Meeting in person is not always possible as our academics are based around the world, often in the places where they conduct their own academic research.
  • Will my academic be a native English speaker?
    We guarantee your academic will be a native English speaker. This is something that sets us apart from some of the low-level operators offering academic support. Our academics are all native speakers, drawn from some of the best universities – in most cases, Oxford and Cambridge.
  • Are your academics using AI?
    Absolutely not. We prioritise academic integrity in all our services and we can guarantee that every order is crafted by human academics, not by AI.

    In fact, our academics are real professionals holding a PhD, with years of expertise in their fields. They undergo a rigorous vetting process, with only 4% of applicants successful.

    Every order fulfilled by our network of senior academics is subject to a meticulous quality control process. This consists of multiple review steps to ensure accuracy, originality and adherence to academic standards.

    We also use advanced software to verify that no part of the work is generated by AI, further guaranteeing the integrity and authenticity of the document you will receive.

    For extra peace of mind, you can purchase an AI scan of your requested document as an add-on service when placing your order.

  • How do I know you are a real company?
    Good question. There are plenty of low-level operators that you should be very cautious of companies with vague histories and no one to talk to. My Private PhD is different. We have been helping thousands of PhD students since 2006. You’re welcome to give us a call, or talk to us via email, WhatsApp or chat at any time. You can also request a conversation with an academic consultant and they can answer any questions you might have.
