$20/h, Academic Writing Coach (Social Sciences/Humanities)

Description

Getting low grades and comments such as: - "Ideas are poorly connected" - "Weak and unclear arguments" - "Too speculative" - "Essay/research paper is weakly connected to [the academic field studied in the course]" - "Too many quotes and too little of your own writing" - "Too few sources used" - "Cited sources fail to support your main arguments" - "Your sources are outdated" I'm an experienced (since 2010) academic writing coach for all levels (junior undergraduate to advanced graduate). I provide practical coaching on: 1. Choosing topics strategically (to ensure less struggle in the process and a higher grade). 2. Writing strong, clear arguments on the chosen topics. 3. Using located sources to provide strong support for your arguments. 4. Ensuring your arguments/ideas are tightly connected. 5. Strategically using quotes from cited sources while otherwise writing in your own words. 6. When to rigidly stick to the cited sources, when to add some speculation, and when to do something in between. 7. Strategic, safe use of AI for: - i. brainstorming - ii. essay/research paper structuring - iii. locating relevant sources - iv. summarization and analysis of relevant sources - v. editing Cost: $20/h: online anywhere, or in person near WEM.
