Get matched
Managed university matching

Research guidance without outsourcing your work

Share your research question, proposal, supervisor feedback and timeline. SubjectScout can match you with support for planning, methods and clarity while keeping the assessed work your own.

How it works

  1. Tell us the subject, exact topic and deadline.
  2. We review the request and source approved specialists.
  3. We propose up to three teachers if suitable matches are available; your dashboard shows the review timeline.
  4. If we cannot find the right fit, we say so clearly and charge nothing.
Request help with your topic

For adults aged 18 and over. Sending a request is not a booking and requires no payment; confirm the rate and terms before agreeing to a lesson.

What to prepare for this request

Identify one research decision you need to understand, such as selecting a method or interpreting supervisor feedback. Share a short, anonymised summary rather than identifiable participant data. Confirm with your supervisor which external support is permitted. Guidance should help you justify your own decisions, not provide text or results for submission.

Frequently asked questions

No. Tutors can help you understand feedback, improve structure and plan next steps, but they do not write assessed work for you.

Yes, as academic guidance. You remain responsible for checking your department's rules and supervisor expectations.

Useful materials include the brief, marking rubric, proposal, supervisor comments and a short note explaining where you are stuck.
