We’ve gathered answers to some of the most common questions about our mentorship and consultancy services.

Mentorship Services
What’s included in the Premium Mentorship Service?
Each one-to-one session provides tailored academic support — from coursework planning to dissertation coaching — delivered directly by Dr Francisca Álvarez-Figueroa. You’ll receive feedback, strategy, and wellbeing guidance aligned with your programme goals.
Is this service only for HR and Management students?
Currently, our mentorship focuses on postgraduate Management and related disciplines from the Humanities, though we occasionally accept students from other fields on request.
How many places are available each semester?
Spaces are limited because all mentorship is delivered personally by Dr Álvarez-Figueroa. Early booking is recommended.
Dissertation & Proofreading
Can you proofread my dissertation?
Yes. We offer professional proofreading and academic feedback services that enhance clarity and coherence while preserving your voice. We do not rewrite or produce content on your behalf.
How soon will I receive feedback?
Turnaround is usually 3–5 working days, depending on the length of your document and the package selected. Ask for our priority service.
PhD Application Support
Do you help with PhD proposals?
Absolutely. Our PhD Application Support package offers detailed feedback, structural guidance, and optional consultation calls to help you refine your proposal before submission.
Can you guarantee admission success?
No consultancy can guarantee outcomes, but our feedback significantly strengthens structure, argumentation, and presentation, improving your competitiveness.
General and Administration
How do I book a session?
Simply fill out our Contact Form and indicate which service you’re interested in. We’ll respond personally within two working days to schedule your first session. You can also email us to info@lmd-consultancy.com.
How do payments work?
All services are prepaid in full to confirm your booking. Once your service details are agreed, you’ll receive a secure online invoice. Full payment confirms your slot and allows us to begin work immediately, ensuring you receive personalised feedback and timely delivery.
Because places are limited each semester, full pre-payment ensures your time is reserved exclusively for you.
What’s your refund or cancellation policy?
You may reschedule or cancel with at least 48 hours’ notice. Because all sessions are prepaid and scheduled in advance, any work already completed before cancellation will be billed proportionally.
One reschedule is permitted per booking with an adjustment fee of 25 % of the session cost. A second reschedule incurs a 50 % fee, and a third reschedule requires full rebooking (100 % of the session fee).
These policies ensure fairness to all clients, protect dedicated mentorship time, and maintain consistent availability for personalised academic and professional support.
