BSc and MSc writing coaching
All bachelor and master students can book a 45-minute writing coaching session for free. Would you like to discuss your own text in detail and discover how you can improve structure, paragraphs, references, style or perhaps the efficiency of your writing process? Then you can make use our service.
-
In a 45-minute meeting, you work on your writing task together with your tutor. The tutor has a coaching role: he or she will ask you lots of questions to get you thinking. Whether you are at the beginning of your writing task or almost done: you can always make an appointment. It is also possible to request several sessions.
-
- We are not an editing agency. We have a coaching approach and are happy to help you improve your text. However, we are not editors who will rewrite your text. However, we can offer (general) writing exercises.
- We are not content experts and therefore cannot take on the role of a subject teacher. We can, however, prepare a (feedback) discussion with your subject teacher together with you.
- We will not grade or assess your text. If you prefer a writing course, you can sign up for one. It is also possible to improve your written English through one of our English courses.
-
The interviews are free of charge. However, there is a maximum of five interviews per student.
-
Coaching sessions are either online or at our location; depending on your preference and the availability of our location. The physical location of the Writing Centre is in room C0.020 of the Institute for Languages and Academic Skills in the TBM building (Building 31, Jaffalaan 5).

- How might a conversation with a writing coach be useful to you?
- How have you approached the writing task so far?
