Need help with your writing assignment? Ask the writing coach!

19 October 2022

Do you need help with a writing assignment for your studies? Make use of one of the writing coaches at the Faculty of Science. Starting this academic year, ten students are available as writing coaches. Making an appointment online is simple.

The Leiden Science writing coaches are specifically trained to help students with their writing assignments. Together with them you will look at what you need. Are you having trouble planning, or do you need help processing literature or with the writing itself?

The coaches have different backgrounds and it is often possible to pair you up with a coach from the same or a similar study. The coaches speak Dutch and English. During the coaching, they will also show you how to use support tools such as the Science Skills Platform. Please note: the coaches will not assess your text in terms of content, nor will they check spelling or grammar. However, they can help you improve your writing skills.

You can make an appointment online very easily. The appointment is for 45 minutes, you can meet on campus but online is also possible.

This project is a pilot. The project team is working with the developers of the Science Skills Platform. Do you have any questions or comments about the project? Send them to Alexandra, the student wellbeing officer. Studentwellbeing@science.leidenuniv.nl
