confident English in Academia

Are you…

  • ambitious in your career?

  • wanting to do research abroad?

  • passionate about your research field?

  • wanting to present at international conferences?

But you always feel that your English skills hold you back. You just don’t feel confident enough.

Small talk with a colleague from the UK? Oh gosh. You would rather hide in the bathroom.

Doing a Q&A session after your presentation? You really struggle understanding all those questions.

Going for a post-doc interview in English? Help! You feel completely out of practice and already start sweating when you just think of the interview.

Does any of this sound like you?

I would love to help you feel more comfortable with English and practice speaking in authentic, university-related situations.

Let’s pursue those wonderful dreams of yours. Let’s do this!

What my clients Are Saying

“Working with Julia on our Feedback-Sessions has been an absolute game-changer for me. She helped me with my application essays for Yale, and the transformation was nothing short of incredible.

Julia's dedication, responsiveness across time zones and unwavering commitment to my tight deadline were truly awesome. […] Her meticulous feedback guided me towards a fresh perspective, […] helping me craft an essay that sets me apart from thousands of applicants. […] Julia created a comfortable space for me to express my concerns and ideas. She skillfully captured my interests and ambitions in each essay, revealing what makes me unique as a prospective Yale campus student.
With her own experience as a former Harvard student, Julia understood the nerve-wracking process of applying to rigorous programs and universities. Her support made me feel truly confident about sending out a strong application.

Julia is an exceptional English teacher and extremely good at what she does,
don’t hesitate to reach out to her!”

— Grace N., Yale Young Global Scholar 2024

“Julia is a great teacher and it’s not an exaggeration when I say that she has shown me a completely new approach to the English language. I started our sessions with the goal of becoming more self-confident when speaking English, both in a professional context as well as for everyday small talk.

Working with Julia has exceeded my goal and my expectations by far. She has helped me gain the necessary self-confidence to trust my own language intuition. No other language course that I took before has taught me so much.”

— Kaya Zeh, PhD Student in Germany

“I am working with Julia for the second time now during my PhD studies. My main goal was to practice speaking, to understand different accents in English better, and to become more confident when I go to conferences (and do the Q&A session, for example). Each English session and all the exercises that Julia gives me to prepare and follow up our sessions are exactly what I hoped to get out of this language coaching. What I want to highlight is that Julia always caters exactly to what I want to work on. She is always flexible for changes/wishes and I can tell that my success is really important to her.

I also want to emphasise Julia’s professional, kind and empathetic personality. I can always talk to her about current language challenges in confidence and always feel very comfortable with this. Thanks to Julia’s open and kind nature the English training is also really enjoyable and fun – which makes learning easier.

I would recommend Julia to everyone who wants to grow their language skills and wants to be guided by someone who always focuses on your goals, uses different methods and strategies, recognises your strengths and expands them, appreciates you, and works with you as an equal.”

— Uta Menges, PhD STudent in Germany
