Consultation & coaching
Consultation & coaching
During individual counselling, we work together in a confidential atmosphere to find solutions to your concerns about academic working, writing and learning.
In doing so, we are guided by the University of Oldenburg’s overarching approach to counselling.
Writing consultation
Got lots of ideas but no plan? In our one-to-one writing consultation sessions, we’ll examine your writing process and consider your next steps. We can help with everything from your first essay to your dissertation.
We provide guidance in both German and English on methods and techniques for academic working and writing. You can also receive neutral feedback on your text upon request.
Please note: We do not provide advice on content. Therefore, the writing consultation does not replace the academic supervision provided by your lecturer.
Possible topics:
- Exchange: sharing, organising and developing ideas
- Planning a writing project: choosing a topic, formulating a research question, creating an outline, etc.
- Methods and techniques for planning, writing and revising
- Structure and central theme
- “Writer‘s block”
- Text feedback
- And much more!
Can’t quite put your query into words yet? Let’s work together to find the best way to help you.
Learning coaching
(currently only available in German)
Do you finally want to learn effectively? With learning coaching, the focus is on your learning process. Depending on your needs, we’ll spend one to five sessions exploring your individual resources and potential solutions.
Important: Learning coaching does not focus on subject-specific content, but on productive, self-directed learning management.
Check-In
Your writing is going quite well, but you could benefit from a bit more structure? During our 15-minute check-ins, we act as your sparring partners. Together, we look at your schedule and progress, set and review goals, and answer small questions about the writing process.
