Our Academic Proofreading service was designed with native English speakers in mind. It is designed to be used as a final check for an already well-written document, where the meaning is clear and the writing style concise.
Our expert editors will ensure that your document is completely free of those small, easy-to-overlook errors in spelling, punctuation and use of grammar. All corrections are made for you, and these are highlighted using track changes.
Our Academic Editing service is a thorough edit by a subject specialist, designed to improve your academic English and ensure that your marker or reviewer understands your intended meaning on the first reading.
It is the right choice for you if you struggle to present your ideas and arguments clearly, concisely and coherently – or if you are simply looking to raise the quality of your academic English to the next level.
It is also advisable if English is not your first language.
