Writing templates for non-native English speakers
Every template here gives you two things a generic template dump won't: the exact structure the reader expects, and the L1-aware tips that keep your English sounding like you — not like it was run through a translator. Draft in the language you think in, then refine into natural English in one editor.
University & Admissions
Applications where your English has to carry your story — SOPs, personal statements, scholarship essays.
- SOP TEMPLATE

A statement of purpose has a shape committees expect. This template hands you that shape — and the ESL guidance to fill it in English that still sounds like you.

Open the template → - SCHOLARSHIP ESSAY
Scholarship Essay Template for Non-Native English Students
A scholarship essay has to answer the prompt and make a committee want to fund you. This template does both — built for students writing their case in a second language.

Careers & Jobs
The documents that get you the interview, written to sound like you — not a template.
Business & Email
Everyday professional writing — emails, follow-ups, and proposals that read as native.
- BUSINESS EMAIL
Professional Email Template for Non-Native English Speakers
A professional email is mostly register, and register is the thing non-native writers have to learn on purpose. This template teaches it — for ESL business writers.
Open the template → - FOLLOW-UP EMAIL
Follow-Up Email Template for Non-Native English Speakers
The follow-up is where non-native writers overshoot — too apologetic or too pushy. This template finds the middle: a polite, easy-to-answer nudge, for ESL business writers.
Open the template → - BUSINESS PROPOSAL
Business Proposal Template for Non-Native English Speakers
A business proposal has to persuade and commit at the same time. This template does both in clear, credible English — built for ESL and international professionals.
