Pen to paper: Essay Writing Essentials

Sharpen your thinking skills and write better essays

This is a practical course designed to help you gain confidence when writing essays in English. Whether you're preparing for an exam or simply aiming to improve your writing skills, this course will guide you through the key stages of planning, organizing, and refining your ideas.

Why take an essay writing course if you are not preparing for an exam?

You don’t need to be working toward a certificate to benefit from improving your writing. An essay writing course can help you express complex ideas more clearly, build stronger arguments, and develop a more polished, formal style.

I won’t promise it will be easy — but it will be transformative. Being part of a group with shared goals brings the added benefit of learning from others: exchanging feedback, gaining new perspectives, and feeling part of a supportive learning community.

On top of that, you’ll strengthen your critical thinking and gain confidence in your overall communication skills.
