Worth every revision! Published Researcher helps you grow as a writer
My writing coach was incredibly patient and supportive, even when I felt like I was making the same mistakes repeatedly (there's a funny saying in my culture - "Repetition teaches even a donkey!" - that perfectly captures the feeling, haha). The feedback I receive is always tailored to my specific goals and writing style. It wasn't just generic advice; it was clear my coach took the time to understand my work and offer insights that truly resonated.

Exceptional Coach – Transformative Experience!
I've been working with Latanya for some time now, and the progress I've made is remarkable. Thanks to her guidance, I am near completing my dissertation, which feels like an incredible milestone. Latanya has a unique talent for making everything relatable, breaking down complex concepts in a way that makes them easy to understand. Anytime I was unsure of something, she explained it so well that I gained clarity and confidence.
One of the reasons I work so well with her is her genuine care and consistent encouragement. She believes in me even during moments when I doubt myself, which has been truly transformative. Latanya is not just a coach; she is an exceptional partner in this journey, and I can't imagine having anyone else by my side through this process.
If you're looking for a coach who is knowledgeable, supportive, and truly invested in your success, Latanya is the one!

I don't usually write reviews (no time) , but Marek and his team are truly amazing. Sure, it’s hard work, but you get tons of support throughout, and the content is broken down step-by-step, which makes it super manageable. It covers everything you could imagine and more. It's not just about writing—there's so much on mindset, planning, using AI effectively, making professional contacts, and even presenting your work. It's a complete guide to academic success, and I couldn't recommend it more if you're serious about improving your academic writing skills.

AEN - great experience
I had been searching for something like ‘Academic English Now’ for years and finally found it in 2023. I've been a member for a year now, and there's no doubt that it has helped me improve my English writing!
The service includes being assigned a coach and having the opportunity to join several 1-hour calls each week, where you can ask questions and discuss matters related to academic writing in English. Additionally, there are so-called master classes where invited speakers discuss specific themes, such as what an editor looks for in submitted articles. There are also numerous videos covering ‘how-to’ aspects of writing, such as productivity tips, overcoming procrastination, and writing a discussion section in a paper. While these topics aren't necessarily new and can be found in other guidebooks for students, the great thing is that they are presented in a more personal way, which serves as a common frame of reference for the weekly calls.
You also have the option to send written text to your coach, who will correct it and explain the corrections. That part was absolutely the best for me, and my coach was great (perhaps a bit too busy, though).
A community of students surrounds AEN. As a faculty member who needed to improve my writing in English, I found many of the discussions in the calls a bit basic, but I understand that these discussions might have been very helpful for the many PhD students. My interests were more focused on the English language side. I had also hoped for a more critical approach and less of an uncritical, anglocentric/'international' perspective. The members come from all over the world, which is absolutely great. Unfortunately, this was almost never reflected in the discussions.
A small note, but important to me, is that the ownership behind AEN is unclear, as is how the coaches are selected or what their qualifications are. AEN is also a very young company, which comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. The advantages include the team's enthusiasm, the ability to suggest ideas, and the sense that ‘we are in this together.’ The disadvantages are that things don't always run as smoothly as they could, AEN tries to cover all academic disciplines (which is, of course, impossible) and thus lands in a very general middle, and that the balance between the English language part and the academic writing part hasn't quite found its optimal equilibrium.

This is exactly the info I've been searching for. I struggled to translate business research to academic research.. The course is very articulate, well organized and has had a real impact on my writing structure. as I attempt to make the transition from business to academic research. Great Work!

How AEN's writing program helped me finish my PhD
I joined AEN at the end of 2021, and at that time, I was lost in my thesis writing! The results were ready, but I could not start writing since I was thinking, "I am a bad writer." This program provided the needed writing support that helped me start and finish my thesis. I struggled to be clear in my writing, and the coaches' support made all the difference. Although I took a course in grad school on how to write, it was not detailed or structured. This program is very structured and covers the PhD journey from the start to the end, like finding your research gap to preparing for your PhD defense. It is a 6-week program with 5-6 lectures each week, giving you all the support you need during your PhD. Also, the ongoing feedback and support from live coaches (thanks to Marek and Lynn) helped me keep up the writing habit, even when my advisor was too busy. I have finished writing my thesis, a research article, and a review article. I definitely recommend the program since it is a PhD saver.
