About

Annemarie van der Zeeuw

With a background in modern linguistics from Leiden University, I have worked as a language teacher and writing coach since 1981. In my teaching, I help authors make writing a pleasant and productive activity: one that helps them develop and clarify their ideas, rather than leaving them feeling blocked or overwhelmed.

I greatly enjoy teaching scientific writing. I love the variety of research topics, the challenge of working on everything from the overall structure of a paper to individual paragraphs and sentences, and the enthusiasm and engagement of my PhD students.

At AvL/NKI, my course follows a blended format, combining five online modules with two in-person sessions. This brings together the flexibility of online learning and the benefits of personal feedback and discussion.

My educational background is in Egyptology, with a focus on linguistics. I am a co-trainer for the online course Writing a Scientific Paper, and responsible for developing and moderating the e-learning platform. The challenge of working with critical thinkers like master’s students and Ph.D. candidates keeps me on my toes and motivates me to constantly improve my skills. I also work as a certified proofreader and editor, ensuring science texts are ready for publication. Read more about me at https://www.teaching-academic-writing.com/
