Welcome to

Funnelling a great idea into a compelling grant proposal can be challenging. Leonie’s invaluable coaching enabled me to write the best application possible. It provided structure and guidance to tailor the application to the generalist and specialist audience, and highlight the novelty, uniqueness, barrier breaking capacity of my idea in a comprehensive fashion.

I remember for one assignment we were told: “how I want you to do this is: write something bad! Really bad. And then start working on that and try to make it better”. So if you’re anything like me, stressing out about presentations or having difficulties structuring texts, this course will help you to massively improve on both of those aspects.

By creating a lovely and welcoming atmosphere the teacher encouraged everyone in the course to participate regardless of their level of English.

This course will motivate you to think outside the box and be more open-minded in how to approach scientific writing and giving presentations.

Thank you for your ability to put yourself in the position of your students and to simplify the content of your lessons so we could understand every single detail.

Usually I get really bad stage fright, the kind that makes your voice shaky as if you’re about to cry and your mouth feel like the Sahara Desert, as do most people I know. The trainer is very aware of that problem that so many people have and deliberately made us give a presentation that wasn’t perfect to give us a chance to practice without feeling such immense pressure to get it perfect the first time.

The trainer genuinely enjoys teaching and understands what the student needs to follow the course and stay focused. The information is broken down to such fine pieces, and explained with such easy pictures, that even the worst English speaker can’t help but understand.
