I help students who struggle with scientific writing
I offer personal, one-on-one coaching to help scientists write with confidence and achieve success at every stage of their career:
Bachelor’s Students: Undergraduates learning to organise ideas into coherent academic writing.
Writing your first thesis is tough. You’re managing a huge amount of information. Not just for yourself, but for your audience as well.
Common challenges:
– Finding good sources: What’s reliable and relevant?
– Knowing what to write where: What actually belongs in each section?
– Staying on track: It’s easy to drift off-topic with so much information.
– Managing time & motivation: Staring at a huge document can feel paralysing.
How I can help:
I guide you step by step to find the right sources, organise your ideas, stay focused, and make real progress so your thesis finally comes together.

Master’s Students: Graduate researchers turning big projects into clear, confident theses.
You’re producing important research while proving your academic skills — and your career can depend on it.
Common challenges:
– Capturing your ideas: Translating your thoughts into text feels difficult.
– Writing clearly: Your drafts feel clunky instead of polished.
– Structuring your thesis: Sections and paragraphs don’t always flow logically.
– Managing time and energy: Research, coursework, and life all compete for attention, leaving little room for focused writing.
How I can help:
We’ll clarify the core of your research, make your writing confident and academic, structure your thesis for logical flow, and create a workflow that keeps you productive — without the stress.

PhD Students: Doctoral candidates managing experiments, writing, and publishing under pressure.
You’ve got some experience, but writing can still feel daunting. Peer-reviewed publishing raises the stakes, and feedback can feel endless and contradictory.
Common challenges:
– Perfectionism hampers progress: You hesitate to get started or ask for feedback.
– Feedback is a lot: You can’t seem to figure out what your supervisor actually wants.
– Balancing projects: Grant applications, teaching, conferences, and experiments leave little room for focused writing.
– Writing the Discussion: Presenting insightful key findings can feel impossible.
How I can help:
Together, we clarify feedback, organise ideas, identify your key takeaways, and make writing manageable, so you can finish papers and get published.

Postdocs: Busy early-career researchers structuring projects and moving papers and grants forward.
You’re already a skilled writer, but writing can still feel high-pressure. You’re juggling publications, grants, and team leadership while building your research identity.
Common challenges:
– Pressure to publish and secure funding: Deadlines pile up and expectations feel intense.
– Managing multiple responsibilities: Leading projects and mentoring leaves little focused writing time.
– Communicating complex research: Turning data into clear, logical, and compelling text.
– Dealing with conflicting feedback: Reviewer or collaborator opinions can stall progress.
How I can help:
A fresh pair of eyes can make a big difference. I help clarify your ideas, structure your work, and create a practical workflow, so you can complete papers and grants efficiently.

Supervisors: Mentors helping students progress smoothly without getting stuck in endless drafts.
You want your students to succeed, but guiding academic writing can take up too much time—or sometimes feel like repeating yourself endlessly.
Common challenges:
– Struggling with structure and clarity: Reviewing drafts takes longer than it should.
– Uncertain progress: It’s hard to know if they’re on the right track.
– Balancing guidance and independence: How to give support without doing the work for them.
How I can help:
I work directly with your students to improve their writing skills, clarify their arguments, and produce well-structured drafts. You get more confident, capable students — and more time back in your schedule.

Parents: Supporting students’ success from a distance.
Supporting your child through academic writing can feel daunting — especially from a distance. You want to help, but you’re unsure how to best support them.
Common challenges:
– Worry about progress: Concerned your child will finish on time and achieve the results they’re capable of.
– Stress and well-being: Wanting them to succeed without burning out.
– Supporting from afar: Unsure how to provide guidance without adding pressure.
How I can help:
I coach your student directly, giving them strategies to manage writing, organise their work, and build confidence. You can support them without adding stress, knowing they have professional guidance to stay on track.

Let’s make writing manageable
If you’re working hard on your research or thesis, but the writing feels slow, overwhelming, or lonely — you’re exactly who I help. Many students and researchers feel like they should already know how to write well, but academia rarely teaches the skills you need to get there.
