Why English Academics?

We are dedicated to helping university students and staff navigate the language demands of the English academic world. Our mentors have spent years studying and teaching writing, reading, and speaking. We have been students and lecturers and have worked in language intensive professions such as research, editing, and business training. University life can be the best time of your life, but it can also be stressful and frustrating, especially if you are struggling with the language demands of higher education. With English Academics you will gain skills and knowledge, learn new approaches and techniques, and take the fear and frustration out of academic communication.
