Need someone to edit/proofread your work for you?
Look no further!
For years, I have been a go to person for editing documents, essays, website content, event brochures, etc.
I have edited countless university papers including an MSW thesis, a civil engineering thesis, computer science theses, theses on the environment/climate change, applied linguistics, political science, business and economics, microbiology reports, a PhD thesis in Information Engineering, etc.
Positive: I do my best to explain my corrections in order to help you improve your writing skills for the future.
Prompt: If you tell me your deadlines, I will help you meet them! (Obviously, the more notice you give me, the better.)
Practical: Good proofreading will prevent you from losing marks unnecessarily, and will help get your résumé noticed!
