Coaches

Learn Reusable Strategies from Trained Writing Teachers, not a One Time Fix.

We pride ourselves on hiring PhD trained coaches with advanced credentials in writing studies and second language learning. All of our coaches go through a rigorous hiring process where they provide a writing sample and complete a sample coaching task that includes offering writing feedback. We hire coaches that can identify writing needs and suggest multiple approaches to meeting those needs.

Individual coaching profiles offer additional background. As a client of Defend, Publish & Lead you can request a specific coach, or have us match you with someone we recommend. Browse our coach bios to find experience and specialties.
