Your ABD students don't have a discipline problem.

They have a capacity problem. Doctoral programs teach students to consume research, then ask them to produce it. Dr. Rahmatu Kassimu builds the bridge between those two skills, and your completion numbers move.


The Whole System

Most stalled doctoral students passed everything you put in front of them, then went quiet. The stall is almost never about commitment. Nobody handed them the hidden curriculum of scholarly production. Most vendors offer strategy alone. I pair it with three things most providers separate, which is why 65 of the 90+ doctoral scholars I've coached have graduated, with zero refunds.

Strategy and Mentorship

The plan, the alignment, and a doctorate-holding coach who has sat on the faculty side of the table.

Implementation and Editing

Working sessions where the writing actually happens, then APA 7 precision so committees read the ideas, not the errors.


Ways to Work Together

Workshops

Six sessions built for graduate writers, from the lit review fix to my signature session, The Capacity Problem: Why Smart Students Stall. Virtual or in person, with take-home materials your staff keeps.

Semester Series

ABD to Done: four to six working sessions across a semester that move candidates from stuck to submitted, with check-ins between meetings so nobody backslides.

Coaching Partnerships

Referral partnerships at no cost to your program, or sponsored coaching pools for at-risk ABD students. Your directors refer, I coach, your completion metrics feel it.


Who I Serve

Built for the programs doing the real work

Graduate schools and writing centers. Doctoral program directors in EdD, PhD, DNP, and DrPH programs. McNair Scholars, TRIO, and Title III and V funded programs, where the equity framing isn't an add-on. It's the architecture.

First-gen and underrepresented scholars don't struggle because they're less capable. They struggle because the hidden curriculum was never handed to them. My work hands it over.

The practical stuff, handled.

W-9 ready. Services agreement provided. Virtual or on-site delivery, and since I'm DFW-based, North Texas engagements carry no travel costs. Net-30 friendly. Fee schedule available on request.

Tell me where your students are stalling, and I'll match the programming to it. If we're not a fit, you'll leave the call with something useful anyway. That's just how I run meetings.

Twenty minutes. That's the ask.
