The Dissertation Writing Bootcamp is truly very helpful for me, as previously I was always in the habit of writing to the point. After joining the bootcamp, I’m able to elaborate my words. Now I have clarity about how to write thesis chapters, the language and how to arrange things.

After visiting the Writing Studio, I can find and correct my common writing mistakes. Tutors at the Writing Studio are very polite, and I especially would like to thank Monal ma’am because she has put continuous efforts into my writing for the past two years. Sometimes a single paragraph or a single sentence has been revised several times. She has helped me a lot in writing an excellent scientific paper that was recently published in reputed journal.
