WRITING CLASSES FOR ACADEMICS 

I teach writing at the University of Illinois at Chicago in the English Department. I also offer private classes for academics who want to improve their writing and presentation skills. In the classes, students will learn simple tools to analyze their writing from the basics of sentence structure, to how to structure and write paragraphs, abstracts, and academic articles. Students are welcome to request specific issues that they would like to see addressed. Participants are encouraged to bring in their own writing samples to work on. They will also have the option of sharing writing samples with others for group feedback. (This is up to each student’s discretion and it is fine to use placeholders for specific research data.)

These analysis techniques are also very useful for academics whose first language is not English.

Students will also prepare and practice mock oral presentations and interviews.
