Academic writing
Does your writing do its job?
I can help you or your students write authoritatively, use language to fluently express critical thought, and showcase evaluative and research skills
Academic Writing from senior secondary to doctoral level
Learn the language, syntax and structure of essays, case studies, analysis, research, and theses. Fluently and concisely express your critical thinking, evaluative and research skills. Solve issues with syntax, tone and structure. Adapt your writing for tertiary study, changes in your discipline or field, or the new demands of post-graduate work. Stop getting feedback like ‘Does not address the question,’ or ‘Deeper analysis needed here’.
