Having trouble with academic writing? Get help from the writing coaches! SUSS is launching Writing Coaches to SUSS students who might need help with their written assignments such as TMAs.
These specially trained writing coaches will provide students with targeted feedback during one-to-one sessions. By going through your writing assignment, our writing coaches can help students to better understand the areas in writing that need improvement, as well as learn the key techniques involved in different parts of the writing process.
The SUSS Writing Coaches aim to provide all SUSS students with individualised one-to-one coaching on academic writing by SUSS postgraduate students trained in TESOL/English language teaching.
Coaching will cover the following aspects:
For the coaching session to be productive, you need to upload assignment instructions, previously marked assignments or a small portion of the draft for a new assignment before the session. You are reminded to come prepared. If you attend without any uploaded materials, you may be allocated some time during the session to write for a practice question.
Writing coaches will NOT
The coaching session only covers linguistics/writing aspects in the English Language and will not touch subject matter in specific disciplines. The submissions from students are only for the particular sessions the students booked with the writing coaches. No information will be circulated outside the writing sessions between the students and writing coaches.

Note: No-shows or last-minute cancellations will be recorded. Repeated occurrence will cause future bookings not to be prioritised.
Reminder emails will be sent by your writing coach a few days prior to the appointment. Please remember to respond and/or to upload your document, otherwise your booking may be cancelled.
Update: In view of the current campus guidelines due to COVID-19, all appointments are e-Coaching slots only. There will be no walk-in consultation until further notice.
Please note that writing coaches need some time before the coaching session to go through the documents – such as assignment instructions, previously marked assignments or a small portion of the draft for an assignment to be submitted. Therefore, students who choose a walk-in consultation should not expect to get as detailed feedback and specific guidance from the coach as those who make an appointment and send their documents to their assigned coaches in advance.
You will find a link to cancel your appointment inside the confirmation email that was sent to you.
