report and technical writing 
Has your organisation recently concluded an evaluation and want to make the most of the write-up?
Have you had an evaluation handed in, but would like revised or rewritten before submission?
Do you feel that your donor report could be more impactful? ​
I offer English-language technical writing support and copyediting to NGOs, CSOs and consortia programmes, in order to finalise your evaluation products for maximum impact.

​I have a spotless track-record of producing high quality written reports to deadline, and proven experience producing technical write-ups for  donors.

feedback on taught modules

"I absolutely loved her teaching style, the material she gave us, how dynamic it was, and how honest and sincere she was answering all kind of questions. I learned a lot in these two hours. It was lovely to have a chat with someone that has so much experience on field. Please, if it’s possible, I would be thrilled to have more workshops with Claire."
"It was super engaging and informative. As students, we often feel a distance between in-class learning and what we are hoping to apply it to in practice, so speaking with you and getting some insight into the reality of working in the humanitarian sector was really helpful."
