"Don't be ashamed to show your text to others! Yes, texts are very personal and yes, sometimes they can be quite chaotic. But you don't have to be embarrassed at any point, because we're all like that."

Tasks
  • Writing advice
  • Support in the organization of the continuing education program for teachers
  • Support in the evaluation
  • Collaboration in the "Startklar?!" project
  • Collaboration in the KI AG of the SZD
Profile
  • I studied: Sociology (M.A.)
  • I attach particular importance to this in my consultations: For me, a consultation is successful if we have found new approaches for your writing process together or if we agree at the end that your current way of working is already working really well. I always try to understand you as a writer first.
  • Favourite topics in writing consultations: text feedback, planning the writing process, self-organization
  • Favorite writing space: A place where I can go back and forth while explaining my own thoughts out loud.
  • My biggest writing challenge: Silencing my inner critic.
  • My tip: Don't be ashamed to show your text to others! Yes, texts are very personal and yes, sometimes they can be quite chaotic. But you don't have to be embarrassed at any point, because we're all like that.

"At best, get feedback on individual parts of the text early on in the writing process. An external person can give you feedback on whether your text is written in a way that readers can understand."

Tasks
  • Writing advice
  • Workshops for students
Profile
  • I studied: Psychology (M.Sc.), Computer Science (Diploma)
  • I attach particular importance to this in counseling: Above all, it is important to me that you feel comfortable and understood. If you leave with new ideas, new courage and/or perhaps even a concrete plan, I believe the consultation was a complete success.
  • Favourite topics in writing consultations: Time management and self-organization, procrastination, dealing with writing inhibitions
  • Favorite place to write: My own desk with a second screen.
  • Favorite writing time: mornings from 9 a.m.
  • My biggest challenge when writing is not getting lost in the details.
  • My tip: Ideally, get feedback on individual parts of the text early on in the writing process. An external person can give you feedback on whether your text is written in a way that readers can understand.
