About Apex Scholars Academy
Apex Scholars Academy is an independent academic coaching practice supporting undergraduate, Master’s, and PhD students in the humanities and social sciences. Coaching focuses on academic reading, writing, theory comprehension, qualitative research reasoning, and sustained progress over time.
About Your Coach
My name is Elias. I have over 25 years of experience teaching and researching in the humanities and social sciences across major research universities and smaller arts-focused institutions. I have worked with undergraduate, Master’s, and PhD students, including international and multilingual students, across a wide range of disciplines.
Apex Scholars Academy operates independently of any university or department. All coaching is skills-based and focused on learning processes rather than assessed work.
What Apex Scholars Academy Offers
Undergraduate Coaching
Support for undergraduate students developing confidence in academic reading, writing, and theory. Coaching focuses on learning how to approach university-level work thoughtfully and independently, without producing assessed assignments.
Master’s-Level Coaching
Guidance for Master’s students navigating research, writing, and thesis work. Coaching supports clarity, structure, and sustained progress while complementing formal academic supervision.
PhD-Level Coaching
Advanced academic mentoring for doctoral students working on dissertation research and writing. Coaching provides structured, reflective support to help maintain momentum and conceptual clarity throughout the PhD process.
Summer Intensives (July–August)
Time-bound summer programs offering focused support for writing, research direction, and thesis or dissertation progress during July and August.

Ethics and Academic Integrity
Apex Scholars Academy provides academic coaching and mentoring designed to support students in developing their own academic skills, thinking, reading, and writing practices. The focus is on conceptual understanding, structure, and academic confidence rather than the production of assessed work.
Apex Scholars Academy does not:
- write, edit, or rewrite assessed assignments, essays, or thesis chapters
- correct or “fix” writing for submission
- conduct research or analysis on behalf of a student
- replace the responsibilities of academic supervisors or instructors
- provide coaching to students currently enrolled in my university courses
All coaching is grounded in principles of academic integrity and respectful collaboration. Students are supported in learning processes that help them become more independent scholars and thinkers within their fields of study.
Apex Scholars Academy operates independently and does not claim affiliation with any university, college, or academic department.
CONTACT
If you are interested in academic coaching or mentoring, you are welcome to get in touch. The best way to begin is by completing the student intake form, which helps clarify your goals, timeline, and the type of support you are seeking before a free consultation. If you would prefer to speak with me directly, you are also welcome to book a free consultation without completing the intake form in advance.
