Academic proofreading service

Academic proofreading service
We're not just a collection of academics!

Our editorial team is very different from any other academic proofreading service. Each of our editors has experience as an EAP (English for Academic Purposes) tutor at respected universities, as well as lots of experience of proofreading and editing academic work of all kinds.

Intricate knowledge of the academic writing style

Tutoring academic English produces well-informed editors with the ability to draw on their training, education and experience to support academic writers in their quest for success. Each editor understands the academic writing style well, as well as the many style guide variations required to publish academic work.

The academic proofreading service

The standard proofreading service ensures that your work is free of spelling errors, grammar errors, syntax errors and misplaced words. While the editing addition enables us to match your required style and offer suggestions to reword awkward or overly complex sentences to make your message as clear as possible.

Our academic editors must meet the following criteria

Training


Master's level education in linguistics (minimum).

Tutoring


English tutoring experience at a university.

Editing


Extensive experience in editing academic texts.

Second Language Support


Extensive experience in tutoring second language writers.

 

You'll receive your document within 12 hours of ordering this 12 hour proofreading service. We always aim to remove every spelling, grammar, syntax and word processor error.

The editing option enables us to offer reworded suggestions for a clearer message. It also provides: alternative wording to avoid repetition, continuity of word choices for named concepts and formatting (style guides can be submitted).

Availability of the 12 hour proofreading service is from Sunday to Friday. Our weekend starts at 1pm on Saturday, so the last order must be made before 1pm on Friday (BST, London time). The first order can be made at 1pm on Sunday (BST, London time). The 48, 72, and 7 day services are always available.

6,000 word limit (larger word counts are available for services with longer deadlines).

Add Editing if parts of your text need to be changed to improve the clarity and style of your writing. Editing involves a rewrite of some parts of a sentence, replacement words and style fixes (you can submit a style guide). Free for translated texts, but adds 30% for texts written in English.

I have over 15 years of experience in education and over 10 years of experience in English language teaching. I have taught students of all ages in South Korea, Taiwan, Jordan, Kazakhstan and the UK. I have specialised in EAP (English for Academic Purposes) for the last six years, and I currently work at Teesside University where I hold the position of Assistant Coordinator of English Language Support. I also work with the University's 'Learning Hub', where we specialise in supporting non-native speakers of English with their academic work for degree courses at all levels. Prior to this, I worked as an EAP Teaching Fellow at UCL and was seconded to Nazarbayev University in Kazakhstan for two academic years. In addition to my English language teaching qualifications, I also have a Masters degree in Education/TESOL and wrote my thesis on proofreading and error correction.
