Begleitetes Schreiben – Online Writing Consultation: German

Guided Writing – Online Writing Consultation: English

You are writing a text for your studies or research—in German or English—and would like linguistic assistance while writing because the flow of the text falters or the language does not fulfill your expectations and needs?
Whether it is an essay or handout, a bachelor’s or master’s thesis, or a dissertation or research paper, we can help you find the right words to express your ideas aptly. You can receive support in:

•    structuring and organizing the text;
•    making the text coherent (logical links between sentences);
•    finding apt expressions;
•    answering grammatical and lexical questions.

Questions specific to a discipline cannot be answered.

New: Guided Writing now takes place in the form of individual online sessions. You can book a 30-minute session. If you want a 60-minute consultation, you can book two consecutive sessions. You will be coached by our experienced writing consultants.
