I teach Academic Writing and edit your student assignments if needed

Van 46.87 € /h

English academic writing follows a number of specific rules. I teach the main structure that students should follow to succeed in writing essays and dissertations. Additionally, citation rules and practical skills will be discussed. I am also happy to assist with resume and cover letter writing in English.
Moreover, I also offer copy editing of your assignments and help with related queries for an additional fee (depending on the length of the assignment).

On my qualifications:
I completed my Ph.D. in Political Science in 2019. Throughout my studies, I completed additional classes in Academic Writing and Copy Editing. I founded an association that taught Academic Writing classes to graduate students. Since 2012, I have edited numerous papers and dissertations of other students. I work as a researcher and lecturer at a university and as a fact-checker at a think tank. In terms of languages, my mother tongue is German, I completed all my studies in English (and lived in the US and the UK for a number of years) and work in French. I also speak some Swedish and Spanish if that helps you!

Whether you are struggling with your structure, your language or the cohesion of your academic piece, I am happy to help you as a sounding board, partner and guide.

My experience in academic writing spans 5 different academic pieces of writing across 3 degrees and several journal articles, with my LLM paper nominated for an award.

I am aware of all the pitfalls one can encounter in this really challenging process and am therefore transparent with regards to not only the quality of the paper but also your work ethic in order that you can then obtain the best piece of work possible.

TECHNOLOGIES AT THE SERVICE OF LEARNING.

Hello,

My name is Laurie and I am an independent FLE teacher, graduated in French and Romance Languages and Literature since 2012. I have eight years of experience under my belt (abroad and in Belgium). I created a learning method for online courses. I have been preparing students for the DELF, DALF, TCF, FIDE, admission exams, etc. for several years.

The course includes:
-The material (articles, videos, exercises based on images and texts, grammatical theory, links to the exercises, etc.). I use google doc, so the ideal is to have a gmail address to be able to access it.
-Correction of exercises outside the course (written expressions are corrected outside the course, or with the student, depending on their needs).
-Access to an application (free) to study vocabulary on your smartphone.
-A vocabulary sheet - pronunciation - grammar/conjugation, sent after each lesson.
-If necessary, a recording of the vocabulary (for beginners).
-Carrying out online exercises and tests based on the vocabulary sheets sent.
-Motivation, laughter, good humor :-)

My method:
-It is oral based.
-For grammar, I use a particular method which allows oral structures to be automated.
-We work on pronunciation with the verbotonal method (exercises to pose your voice, for rhythm, etc.). I might even make you sing! :-)
-Everything goes through the oral before going through the writing but I obviously adapt to the needs of the students.
-The course is a little different for children and teenagers: I use interactive games and cards via the webcam.

See you soon!
Laurie
NB: Possibility of making an invoice for individuals or businesses.

Dive deeper into the art of listening and asking questions! Really listening and asking good questions is extremely difficult. Gain insight into the challenges involved and choose to develop these skills.

Whether you work in business, healthcare, education or another sector, the ability to listen well and ask thoughtful questions is invaluable.

In one-on-one sessions we practice beyond theory, where we look together at where the difficulties lie.

Writing a strong, well-structured essay is a skill that takes time and guidance to perfect. Whether you're struggling with argumentation, structuring, clarity, or just need someone to proofread and refine your work, I’m here to help.

After completing IB English Lang/Lit HL with top marks (7s in HL Essays and IO) and achieving High Distinction (80+/100) in my university writing, I know what it takes to craft essays that are clear, persuasive, and academically strong. In this class, I will help you with everything from brainstorming and structuring to refining your writing style and improving grammar.

Our first session will be focused on understanding what you need—whether that’s detailed feedback, proofreading, or general writing advice. From there, we’ll work together to develop a personalized approach to improve your essays. Expect constructive criticism, clear explanations, and a focus on making your writing as strong as possible.

I am looking for students who are willing to learn, improve, and take their writing to the next level. Every session will be tailored to your goals, and I’ll be there to support you every step of the way!
