Let your academic career
take flight!

All offers available in-person or online

Research, writing, and presenting are closely linked. When it’s about your research, you’re the expert. Expertise is also necessary when it comes to writing about and presenting findings and proposals. That’s exactly where my expertise comes in.

I have specialized in the art of academic communi­cation for both English and German, making sure that your research findings and grant proposals captivate your (international) audience’s attention and that you can successfully navigate international higher educa­tion and collaborations, including how to incorporate AI in good scientific practice.

If you are interested in my services, be they sparring, coaching, writing retreats, editing, workshops or PhD mentoring, please contact me via email, LinkedIn or by phone. I look forward to hearing from you!

All the best,

Dr. Kimberly Crow

About me

Dr. Kimberly A. Crow

I am a German-American social scientist and specialize in assisting scholars who wish to improve their aca­demic communication skills. After majoring in socio­logy and minoring in psychology and social psycho­logy, I worked in sociological and economic research institutes and then went on to receive my PhD in po­litical science.

Based on over 20 years of coaching and mentoring experience, I have developed approaches that show immediate effects with little effort.

The services I offer focus on various aspects of (inter­cultural) academic communication, such as successful publishing, preparing for grant applications or job interviews, intercultural teaching and collaboration as well as PhD mentoring, to name a few.

All offers are tailormade and address junior and senior researchers from a broad range of natural and social sciences as well as the humanities.

My customers include scholars from renown research institutes, universities, and graduate centers. In conjunction with my freelance work, I wrote a number of books: “The Art of Academic Storytelling” “The Art of English Academic Writing”, and “The Art of Captivating Academic Presenting”.

For my German audience I wrote the book “Englisch in Siebenmeilenstiefeln. Eine Entdeckungsreise” that gives unexpected insights into what makes English English.

If what you are looking for is not mentioned here, please contact me. I am sure we can put something together that exactly meets your needs.

Testimonials

Kimberly, thank you for your inspiring work!

Working with Kimberly is both insightful and inspiring!

Dr. Crow was extremely supportive, especially when it came to touchy aspects.

The books you wrote are always close at hand when I'm in the writing process. They are invaluable, thanks so much for them.

I have attended several of Dr. Crow's in-person and virtual workshops on academic writing in English and I really appreciate her way of teaching and consulting. I was particularly convinced that the tools she introduced us to led to an immediate success and significantly better texts in English. The content is very well structured, and it is designed in such a way that it can also be used independently after the course. Dr. Crow's feedback is extremely efficient and helpful, as she has a keen eye for her participants' individual needs. I can also recommend participating several times because in the follow-up workshops, Dr. Crow works intensively on the writing process.  
I can definitely recommend Dr. Crow's courses⎯both in-person and digital⎯ if you are looking for professional and highly qualified guidance to improve your writing skills in academic English!.

Different from the many soft skill workshops I’ve attended, Kimberly’s workshops and edits are truly tailored to the immediate needs of academics.
I’m looking forward to putting all the things we talked about to work!

The workshop showed me ways to improve my written English and gave structure to the oftentimes arduous and confusing process of finding a good style. This experience boosted my motivation to write texts that captivate my fellow researchers and serve as a foundation for the communication of my results. While I still regard the writing process as a demanding necessity, it appears more pleasant with my newly won mindset
