PFAU Academic Writing is an educational HUB for academic and professional communication aimed at fostering personal growth, creativity and self-compassion through writing. Since 2013, it has grown from a one-person tutoring and editing show to a team of editors, coaches, and admin staff who help students and young professionals to reach their full potential on the page, and in life. We support high school/college/university/gtrad students through the process of developing exceptional academic and professional leadership skills by offering support developing research papers, presentations, school and career-related applications, and professional reports and communication documents. We provide a combination of one-on-one coaching, editing, and workshops/courses. Some notable clients/partners have been University of Toronto Indigenous Educational Network, University of Toronto Asian Institute, University of Toronto Department of Political Science, University of Alberta Alumni Association, and University in the Community.
