Guidance grounded in the work of scholarship.

Ọbádélé Kambon earned his PhD in Linguistics at the University of Ghana in 2012. His dissertation, Serial Verb Nominalization in Akan, received the Vice-Chancellor’s Award for the outstanding doctoral dissertation in the Humanities.

His record spans books, journal articles, book chapters, and other scholarly work. PhD Success brings that experience to the decisions that shape your own research: the theoretical framework, conceptual relationships, argument, evidence, and contribution.

The cost of another tuition-paying year

Less time paying tuition.
More value from your investment.

Avoiding additional tuition-paying years can save far more than the cost of research guidance.

Compare the tuition and required university fees you would actually avoid with the cost of support. If a year costs $20,000, avoiding that year would outweigh even a $7,500 full PhD engagement plus the $199 consultation.

Illustrative comparison, not a promised outcome. Earlier completion depends on your progress and university requirements. Count only fees that would actually stop if you finished sooner.

Compare with your own tuition

Use USD for a like-for-like comparison with our fees. Convert your tuition first if your university bills in another currency.

Potential fees avoided: $20,000. Support cost: $7,699. Potential net savings: $12,301.

Fees alone; living costs, interest and potential earnings are excluded. This calculation does not predict how much sooner you will finish.

A supporting tool for your research

Find the blind spots.
Bring better questions.

Mbôngi AI can help surface weak claims, evidence gaps, and overlooked questions in your draft.

Its multiple AI reviewers offer another perspective on your work. Your consultation brings those questions into a focused conversation about your research, priorities, and next steps.

Use the alignment worksheet to identify the claims and evidence you want reviewed. You may then choose to review an excerpt with Mbôngi AI and prioritise findings before a personal checkpoint.

AI findings need your judgment and verification. Use only material you are permitted to share. Any paid Mbôngi AI review is separate from the $199 consultation.

Who is the consultation for?

Doctoral researchers who want focused guidance on their proposal, dissertation, progress, or defense preparation. Describe your topic and stage when booking so the conversation can address your needs.

Do I need to choose a package first?

No. Start with the $199 consultation. We discuss the fit and scope of any ongoing engagement during that conversation. After booking, you can use the optional preparation workspace below.

Is ongoing support included in the $199?

The fee covers one 60-minute consultation. Longer-term support, document review, and other services are agreed and priced separately.

Can you guarantee a completion date?

A timeline depends on your research, readiness, and university requirements. The conversation helps you plan realistic milestones; it does not guarantee a degree or completion date.

Will someone write my dissertation for me?

No. You remain the author. The support focuses on research guidance, structure, feedback, planning, and preparation.

How does booking work?

Complete the consultation intake form, then select an available time in Calendly and pay $199 USD securely at booking. Your confirmation provides the meeting details.
