Are you writing an academic paper? Preparing for a job interview in English? Seeking practice and feedback on an oral presentation?
EPPIC offers individual consultations (EICs) for international multilingual students, scholars and post-docs to support their growth and confidence in advanced academic and professional English.
Spring 2021 EICs will be available from January 19 – April 30, and can be scheduled by appointment here.
EPPIC Individual Consultations are offered via Zoom. After scheduling an appointment, you will receive a Zoom meeting link to connect with your consultant.
Guidelines for EIC appointments:
- Writing Focus: You may schedule up to one 45-minute session per day.
- Speaking & Pronunciation Focus: You may reserve up to one 45-minute session per day.
- Students and J-1 scholars may schedule a maximum of ten (10) sessions of individual consultations per semester.
Before your scheduled appointment, you will receive an email message with instructions on how to connect with your consultant on Zoom, and how to upload related documents or projects in advance of your appointment.
