Content​

  • You send a representative sample taken from one of your own texts to the teacher (maximum 650 words). Please select a text which has not yet been edited by anyone else (e.g. supervisor).
  • The teacher analyses the language, style and coherence of the text and prepares the first feedback session.
  • During the first 30-minute feedback session, the teacher explains the main strengths and weaknesses identified during the analysis of the text. Extra exercises/resources are provided where necessary and examples are drawn from your text.
  • Using the information and tips from this feedback session, you then correct your own text.
  • After the self-correction, the teacher analyses the corrected text again to make sure that you’ve understood and applied the tips correctly.
  • Finally, you meet your teacher for a second 30-minute feedback session to discuss any remaining difficulties. You will learn how to use the tips most effectively to improve your writing in the future.

If you have any specific difficulties or questions, please let your teacher know before the coaching starts.
