The English Writing Center (EWC) offers free one-to-one consulting in English writing to all members of the TUM community.
Please bring up to 5 pages of text, printed or on a large screen (laptop or tablet), to your appointment. It might be a section of a thesis or article, an essay or homework assignment, a CV or cover letter, or any other English text.
The English lecturers and student Writing Fellows in the EWC help you develop long-term proficiency in English writing, while polishing your actual texts in the process.
Appointment selection:
- You may book one appointment per day, three per week, and twelve per semester
- You can book appointments up to one month in advance.
- Please verify your email address before booking. Otherwise you will not receive a confirmation of the booking.
- If you are unable to find any available appointments at this time, we encourage you to check back at a later date. The EWC is constantly adding new appointments to the schedule, in order to accommodate as many clients as possible.
Confirmation of the booking:
- You will receive a confirmation e-mail upon making an appointment and an automatic meeting invitation two hours before your appointment. If you do not receive an e-mail, please let us know.
For the appointment
- If you are unable to attend, please cancel the appointment at least 24 hours in advance (see link in the confirmation email).
- Bring a printed, double-spaced copy of your text to the appointment to facilitate annotating.
- Alternatively, you may bring your text in an editable format on a large-screen (laptop or tablet) device.
- For virtual appointments, be prepared to share your text via screen sharing in Zoom.
- Locate the room at the appropriate campus beforehand.
REMARK: Our service is to teach you to improve your writing, not to proofread your texts. So please always do your best to implement what you’ve learned in your whole text before making another appointment. That way the lessons build on one another.
