Useful information

  • Face-to-face appointments available upon request
  • Appointments generally last around 45 minutes and are currently being conducted via Zoom.
  • You will receive a Zoom link from your writing consultant prior to the meeting time.
  • We are available to help you with any type of writing at any stage of the writing process (research papers, articles, proposals, theses, dissertations, CVs, letters, abstracts, reports, essays, or just about anything else in English).
  • What is most important is that the writing is yours and remains yours. This means that we won’t write for you, nor will we “correct” what you have written. Nor are we able to provide content-specific feedback. Rather, we are here to support you in developing and improving your writing skills.
  • Sessions are customized to each writer’s needs. Depending on your priorities, a session might include discussing your ideas to develop them further, creating graphic organisers to define structures, identifying and applying grammatical conventions, fine-tuning language to ensure the meaning is clear and diction is appropriate, or whatever else is on your mind.
  • Please bring along any notes, drafts, or explanations of the assignment that will help convey the goal of the writing task at hand.
  • If you can’t make it to a scheduled appointment, please send an e-mail to let us know–ideally at least 24 hours in advance.
