About Academia Coaching Collective
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.
Academia Coaching Collective operates independently of any university or department. All coaching is skills-based and focused on learning processes rather than assessed work.
Testimonials
Former undergraduate students: “Professor Schwieler provided clear guidance that helped me analyze texts more deeply and improve my writing.” “His feedback helped me become much more confident in my writing.” “He encouraged me to think beyond the surface level and develop stronger critical analysis.” “Professor Schwieler was approachable and always willing to help students clarify their ideas.”

Ethics and Academic Integrity
Academia Coaching Collective 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.
Academia Coaching Collective 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.
Academia Coaching Collective operates independently and does not claim affiliation with any university, college, or academic department.

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.
