ThesisPath was founded by researchers who experienced firsthand the isolation and uncertainty of postgraduate study — and who knew there had to be a better way.
Postgraduate research can be a profoundly isolating experience. You have a supervisor who meets you occasionally, a library full of books, and a blank document that needs to become a 80,000-word thesis. The gap between those two realities is where most students struggle.
Dr. Eleanor Hartley spent over a decade watching talented students stall, panic, and sometimes abandon their degrees — not because they lacked ability, but because they lacked consistent, personalised support. She founded ThesisPath to provide exactly that.
The weekly video call model is central to everything we do. It creates accountability, builds momentum, and ensures you are never left alone with a problem for more than a week. It is the kind of support that genuinely changes outcomes.

Founder & Lead Academic Advisor
PhD in Educational Research, University of Cambridge · MSc Psychology, UCL
Eleanor founded ThesisPath after a decade supervising postgraduate research at Cambridge and UCL. Having guided over 200 students to successful completion, she recognised that the students who struggled most were those without consistent, personalised support between supervisor meetings. ThesisPath was built to fill that gap.
