Writing is at the heart of academic work, and it’s rarely easy. Are you looking for support because of writer’s block or because your text doesn’t yet meet your expectations? Whether it’s a seminar paper, your bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral thesis, or a research article, our writing coaches are happy to help you with:

• planning and brainstorming;
• structuring an argument, a section, or a whole text;
• improving clarity and readability;
• finding the right wording and phrasing;
• checking grammar, style, and usage; and
• working with AI and managing writer’s block, stress, and time.

We offer a variety of counseling formats:
