ABOUT DEAN COEY

As the UK’s Most Hated Academic Coach® I am the big red button for struggling students and academics.Only come to me once you’ve ruled out-Copy-pasting ChatGPT essays and scripts-Complaining that “no one ever taught me how to present/write properly”-Doing nothing-Waiting for confidence or motivation to magically appearI’m not a cheerleader, I’m a coach.I don’t give hugs and gold stars — I give you tools to write better, present with confidence, and think clearly under pressure.I’m generally invited in by students, researchers, or lecturers. They aim high, and generally are very skilled in their lab work or their studies. However they have realised that no one ever taught them to write or to present. And it\'s holding them back.I’ll be up front — I am not for everyone.Turning those with a knack for presenting into public speaking superstars with my training isn\'t an event, it\'s a process. The reason people say no to me is because they don\'t want to believe that these are skills that can be taught. They fear change and fear stepping outside their comfort zone.If you\'re frustrated because you\'ve learned so much content during your education journey, but are now struggling to achieve top marks because you don\'t have the writing and presentation skills to match, maybe I can help.If you\'re anxious about teaching your undergrad or postgrad students to write and present well, because you\'re not sure you know how to do it yourself, maybe I can help.If you\'re annoyed that students don\'t attend your lectures, or fall asleep when they do, but don\'t know what else to do other than read the slides to them, maybe I can help.I will challenge you. I am direct in my feedback. I\'m not hired to stroke your ego. I\'m hired to make you money by enhancing some of the most important skills in your field. Skills that get you the degrees, the jobs, the promotions.
