Conditions, and what I don’t offer
I am only competent to give professional instruction in English and about English materials.
I don’t require that you be a native English speaker. However, specialised writing instruction is advanced, so your English must be advanced: for writing, IELTS 8 (or equivalent) highly recommended. Otherwise, you’re not ready, and you should work on your English first.
Same goes for literacy. I’m not a literacy teacher. If you are weak in that, you need to work on it before you can benefit from writing instruction.
This is a coaching service. Except for science, I won’t do the work for you (especially not school or university assignments), but I will teach you how to do it.
I will take editing and writing gigs for science stuff aimed at popular audiences. Please see this page.
You must have written whatever you send me yourself. Don’t send anything AI-generated or AI-translated.
Seeking feedback from a writing coach requires that you be receptive to constructive criticism. My job is to tell you what you need to know. Although I promise to be as sensitive and caring as possible, I may make comments with which you don’t agree. Even the most supportive and encouraging criticism can be a bit ego-bruising for those unused to it. Being able to accept and benefit from it requires a certain amount of personal maturity.
For this reason, and because I don’t want to complicate things by dealing with parents, I won’t typically deal with under-18s unless you can offer some compelling reason.
