About the course

Our English Writing skills course is designed to teach both academics, school students and professionals the tricks of writing in English. Whether you are struggling with essays, dissertations, or just want to refine your writing style for (professional) articles, this course is the key to success. With personal attention from a native speaker, you will not only learn the right structure and style, but also how to find and use your own unique voice in English. 

American or British?

As you know, American English (AE) and British English (BE) have a lot in common, but they certainly have some differences – in spelling, punctuation, capitalization and idiom. We will ask you to choose AE or BE so that your writing is internally consistent.
