Helping PhDs and researchers move from stuck to published

Whether you're struggling with writing mechanics, research direction, or just need clarity—I help academics build the skills and confidence to get their work out into the world.

I’m Matthew Fujimoto, an experienced academic writing coach. I work with academics who are

  • Stuck on writing - You have ideas but can't get them on the page, or your drafts never get finished

  • Lost in research - unclear on direction, unmotivated, or questioning if the topic matters

  • Running out of time - Deadlines are looming and need results fast

Why Work With Me?

I'm not here to fix your grammar or tell you what to research. 

I help you develop your own writing systems and research clarity so you can work independently and confidently.

​

I've worked with academics struggling with:

  • Writer's block and slow progress

  • Language barriers and translation challenges

  • Research direction and motivation loss

  • Presentation and conference preparation

 

My approach combines practical writing coaching with strategic thinking support—because academic success requires both clear execution AND clear direction.

What Academics Are Saying

Yuka - Industry Researcher

I had taken English classes for years, but they only focused on grammar and small talk. What I needed was the ability to present confidently in executive meetings and speak at a strategic level. Matt gave me the tools and coaching that no language school ever did. Now I can contribute alongside global leaders with clarity and confidence.
