About Stav

I have assisted undergraduate (Bachelor's) and postgraduate students (Master's, PhD) successfully write academically across many disciplines for over a decade. Additionally, I have helped many junior and senior academics successfully publish their manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals.

Please feel free to enquire further about my experience and qualifications via email or telephone.

About the lesson

Academic texts (e.g.: PhD dissertation, journal article manuscript, undergraduate assignment) are produced within the constraints of (1) register, (2) genre, and (3) style* (I explain these below). My approach teaches you how to be sensitive to these constraints to ensure your success - be it passing your PhD examination, getting published in a peer-reviewed journal, or passing an assignment. These constraints are crucial as they ensure your audience (e.g.: PhD examiner, journal reviewer, university tutor) recognises your writing for what you intend it to be. Depending on your requirements, we consider your writing at the sentence level (i.e., how to write clear sentences), the paragraph level (i.e., how to write clear topic sentences to built an argument), and the chapter (or article/essay) level (i.e., how to write a complete text whose sections flow).

(1) Register

Register refers to the rules and conventions of writing according to your discipline (and other parameters such as ontology, epistemology, and methodology). For example, a writer in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) typically writes information-prominent sentences and doesn’t signal their position in relation to that information. Consider the following fictitious example: "Most healthy adults recover from an acute bout of bronchitis in two to three weeks (Limpman et al., 2019).” In contrast, a writer in HASS (Humanities and Social Sciences) is more likely to write author-prominent sentences and does signal their position in relation to the information being cited. For example: “At the end of their observational study, Limpman et al. (2019) claimed that most healthy adults recover from an acute bout of bronchitis in two to three weeks.”

(2) Genre

Genre refers to the rules and conventions of writing according to the text you’re producing. Again, a writer in STEM commonly produces reports of conducted experiments. These reports are highly structured under headings such as “introduction,” “methodology,” “methods,” “results,” “discussion,” and “conclusion.” It is these headings that signpost the piece, ensuring the readers are oriented through the text. Contrastively, a writer in HASS typically writes essays with no such headings. For HASS writers, their topic sentences in their essay need to lead the reader through the piece.

(3) Style

Style refers to your individual way of writing. We all have different ways of expressing content. Some writers, for example, wholeheartedly deploy the first-person active voice (“In this essay, I demonstrate that children best learn in a zone of proximal development”), whilst others don’t ("In this essay, it is demonstrated that children best learn in a zone of proximal development”). Differences in style is important - academic writing would be extremely mundane otherwise. Nevertheless, differences in style must work with register and genre.

*These descriptors come from Biber & Conrad (2009; Register, genre, and style. Cambridge University Press), however my usage of them differs.
