Peer Writing Consultation "Studentische Schreibberatung" - From peers to peers

Welcome to the website of our peer writing tutors! We will help you with all matters concerned with academic writing. Our consultation hours take place during the lecture period as well as during the semester break.

Our consulting offers

Our consultations are action-oriented, person-oriented and process-oriented. In principle, you can come to us with all questions about academic work and writing. Among other things, we support you in finding a topic, narrowing down your topic and research question, revising your outline, overcoming writer's block or expanding your text. In addition, we can give you constructive feedback on your texts. You should make sure that you submit your text at least three days in advance. In addition, the text should not exceed three to four pages. 

What we do not offer

Proofreading in terms of spelling, grammar, citation conventions and comma placement. Here you can contact the Orthografiezentrum.

Feel free to send us an email with your desired date and request to studentische.schreibberatung@upb.de.
