Among them, the number of postgraduate degree holders will be even smaller. Those who do pursue higher education and an advanced degree are likely to earn significantly more than those with a bachelor's degree.
So, having an advanced degree will help you stand out in the crowd.
The journey in getting an advanced degree like a PhD is not easy. The median years taken to complete an American doctorate degree is between 7 and 8 years,² while in the UK, it is between 5 and 7 years.³
Starting off with the right support will help you get to unstuck quicker. Saving you precious time and money! Allowing you to move on with life.
Those who are unprepared for this intellectual endeavour will be surprised to find it adversarial and lonely. A study published in Nature shows that depression and anxiety are six times higher amongst postgrads than in the general population.⁴
Being part of a community and having a supportive anchor, like a thesis coach, will help maintain your well-being throughout your journey.
Not only is it costly and resource intensive, but postgraduates with families are likely to struggle in juggling their duties and responsibilities.
So, it is important to set your expectations and get the right kind of help from the get go.
You may find a research dissertation and thesis to be daunting and painful, but if you know what your examiners expect of you, you will learn the rules of the 'game' and how to play it well - I call the research endeavour a game because it can be great fun.
Research is a fun endeavour with someone who has been playing the 'game' and is willing to guide you toward successfully completing your dissertation.
And, making research fun and meaningful for you is what we want for your research journey.

My name is Dr David Yoong and I completed my PhD research thesis in 1.5 years back in 2008 in La Trobe University, Australia. I have also published articles in academic tiered journals like Discourse & Society and Text & Talk.
I am also former Deputy Dean of Research and Development at the University of Malaya. Examining thesis, reviewing articles for journals, teaching research methodology, and supervising research students are all part of my role as a trainer and academic.
My passion is to continue teaching and supervising postgraduate researchers of various disciplines on ways to produce a satisfying research as quickly as possible and to enjoy the process whilst doing it.
"Dr David sets the bar high when it comes to supervision and lecturing. He's a multi-disciplinary educator who's comfortable with both theory and practice, and he always goes beyond the textbook to make sure students truly learn. Always committed to getting the job done with no nonsense or hanky panky, he's sharp, direct and honest... It's an honor to have been his student and supervisee - consider yourself lucky if you get to work with him! Learning never truly stops with him."

"Refreshing, honest and no BS. If you want a no-nonsense and impactful research mentor, I couldn't think of anyone else more than Dr David. Being his ex-postgrad student, I learned ways and methods to write compelling paper and produce solid research materials. My only caveat is that- if you're half-a$$ed about writing a paper and is not willing to put in the hard work or take brutal, constructive criticism from Dr David , please save your time and his. This route is not for everyone and it's okay! Otherwise, you'll gain nothing but pure knowledge and nuggets of wisdom from Dr David. I could go on forever about his achievements but you should already know that Google could help you in that"
Debbie A.
"My idea of conducting research and writing a research paper has totally changed after attending his course, Research Methodology. Writing a research paper, which was a challenge for me, is now just a piece of cake. Thanks to Dr David! He encouraged me to improve and give my absolute best in everything and inspired me to love my job as a researcher."
