Have you ever felt insecure writing in English at work?

It can be pretty daunting, can’t it?

Sometimes it’s hard to know if something you’ve written will make sense, or worse appear impolite or unprofessional. 

I’ve worked with many students to improve their business English writing, I’ve helped them through countless professional emails, reports, presentations and training material.

However, I think you should know, there is an easier way! 

One that doesn’t require hours and hours of practice. In fact, it’s almost like ‘on-the-job’ training, so to speak!

I’m going to share just ONE very simple and effective tip.

This is probably one of the easiest and most practical ways to instantly transform your written English, and at the same time, improve your English grammar and bolster, broaden, improve, grow expand your vocabulary range 😉, and best of all, it’s completely FREE of charge!

So if you write anything in English, especially at work, like emails, reports, articles, or presentations, this is an absolute must! 

In fact, this is something that even natives AND professional writers use! (Me included!)

So… What is it?

Ok, enough hype, I’m talking about Grammarly. 

A genius piece of technology, which, if you watch anything on YouTube, you’ll probably recognise the name from one of their adverts.

They’re huge on the English writing scene, and understandably so!

However, if you’re like me, at first you may have thought that Grammarly was just a simple spell checker…

Trust me, it is SO much more than that. It’s live tips and insights can transform your writing, AND it can actually be a powerful learning tool for English students!

• Passive voice overuse
• Impoliteness
• Inappropriate formality level
• Inconsistent writing style
• Plagiarism
• Feedback on your writing so you know which areas to improve
• Target a specific audience and help adapt your writing for that audience.
• Make less wordy, more concise, and better quality writing.

Some of the more advanced features are exclusively available in the pro version.
