I'm not a great writer. I hated Norwegian at school.
But I've helped both my SO, my sister and others improve their college grades significantly by simply doing a pass on their hand-ins. They'd write an essay or similar, and I'd just check that their arguments were consistent and made in the right order.
If I found their arguments lacking I'd ask them, they'd explain what they meant and I said "great, put that in there". Other times it was just a matter of swapping segments around. Simple stuff like that.
I wasn't versed in the things they studied, they knew their stuff but they just struggled to put it in writing. I'm not a good writer, it's not what I do. But as a programmer, getting arguments consistent and in the right order, well, that's basically my day job.
