Academic English Writing Support and Editing: Classes or One-off Services

Struggling to write academic texts as part of your studies or research career? Need help improving your essay, presentation script or thesis? Or do you simply want to boost your writing skills?

I'm a teacher of English as a second language (with four years' experience), a professional editor/proofreader of academic writing (freelance, for Peerwith and Scribbr), and a graduate from a research masters degree with a humanities background. I know how to build and perfect strong academic texts in all fields, and also have a passion for supporting thinkers to communicate their ideas as best as possible.

During our tutorials and in my written feedback, I can improve your texts, but also your writing skills. Many other editing services will fix your writing, but won't explain how you can do this yourself. The goal here is to help you to not need someone like me any more! However, I am also happy to provide more straightforward editing, proofreading or formatting services. So it's possible to book one service or a series of support classes – for just you or for a small group, as you prefer.

Looking forward to helping you present your ideas!

About Me

CELTA-qualified native English teacher with 2+ years experience teaching kids, teens, students and adults from all backgrounds. I'm also a journalist and rMA graduate (Cultural Analysis) with a lot of writing and editorial experience. Specialised in exam preparation (IELTS, Cambridge) and academic English, but have also taught general English in the UK, Spain and Amsterdam.

I'm young, smart and casual – I prefer informal classes with a lot of fun activities, video and popular culture. But I'm also highly experienced training students for exams, and teaching high level writing and academic skills. I can help most with writing at all levels!

I studied Literature and Cultural Analysis, so my passion for language comes from a love of books, films, music and television. This means that not only can I be particularly helpful to people writing academically (especially about culture), but also that I love to use popular culture in my classes.

Education

rMA Cultural Analysis (University of Amsterdam) 2016-2018
-cum laude
-writing on film, music, literature, art, and popular culture

BA English Literature (University of Exeter) 2011-2015
-first class honours (highest classification possible)
-writing on a variety of film and literature

Experience / Qualifications

CELTA - trained in 2010 at St Giles College in Brighton

I am a published culture writer (CLASH, Subbacultcha, Resident Advisor and more)

I edit and helped to start a graduate journal for cultural analysis

I have extensive experience proofing and editing academic and non-academic writing.

I'm also half-Spanish and speak confidently at around C1 level.

Great! Callum was very helpful and quick!
CELTA-qualified native English teacher with 4 years of experience teaching kids, teens, students, and adults from all backgrounds. I'm also a journalist and research masters graduate with a lot of writing and editorial experience. I've taught general English, exam preparation (Cambridge, IELTS) and academic English in the UK, Spain, and Amsterdam. I'm young, smart and casual – I prefer informal classes with a lot of fun activities, videos, and popular culture. But I'm also a specialist in exam preparation, high-level writing, and academic skills. I can help most with writing at all levels! I offer structured 1-on-1 classes tailored to the student's needs, more informal conversation classes, group classes (up to 6), or proofing and editing services – let me know if you need help with cover letters, applications, university coursework or writing of any kind! Rates vary with type and class size (groups and conversation classes are cheaper than structured 1-on-1). The minimum price shown is for such basic conversation classes – more structure and preparation of materials will cost more.

English learning or improvement courses
English, beyond being the international language of business, is the most widely spoken language in the world. It is a language that brings together diverse people, from different backgrounds, cultures, and languages, enabling communication between these different parties—a crucial element in various contexts, whether traveling or at work. Moreover, today, for many recruiters, speaking English is not a bonus but almost a necessity. During the classes I give, I will not only focus on grammatical mastery of the language, but we will also work on the pronunciation and phonetics of this language. I will also suggest that we read aloud together different texts from different sources (novels, newspaper articles, etc.) allowing us to add a cultural and intellectual aspect to our language learning.
