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 been teaching English language for around ten years, mainly working with international students in a university context. I am currently studying for a PhD in Applied Linguistics; I hold an MA in Applied Linguistics and a BA in English Language and Literature. I also have a PGCE in TESOL. I have been working in proofreading and editing for around six years now, and have worked with Mr. Proofread for about four years, alongside my teaching and studying. I am experienced in editing a very wide range of texts, from business reports to novels, and have edited many academic papers. My experience of working with English language from a wide range of perspectives - from teaching university students and seeing the common errors which they can make, to studying the workings of the language theoretically - combines to make my editing smooth, accurate and effective. I'm also always happy to communicate with clients and ensure they receive a service suited to their individual needs.
