Outstanding written English doesn't have to be a mystery...

The Text Detective will unlock the secrets of writing excellence.

Why improve my written English?

‘English has become a fundamental skill in…a modern workforce.It…has become such an essential skill that from 2025, the OECD will add it to its Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) alongside reading, math, and science.’1

‘Ready or not, English is now the global language of business. More and more multinational companies are mandating English as the common corporate language—Airbus, Daimler-Chrysler, Fast Retailing, Nokia, Renault, Samsung, SAP, Technicolor, and Microsoft in Beijing, to name a few.’2

The ‘Englishization of higher education’3 is a current global phenomenon. In countries where English is not even an official language of the country, universities are increasingly teaching academic subjects in English.3

FACT: If you are required to write in English for business or academic purposes, your success is at risk if your written English is not impeccable.
