Origins
“As an Adjunct Professor at two major Canadian universities, I have edited, proofread and improved dozens of papers, theses and manuscripts for students. Much of this work has been for foreign students for whom English is not their first language. While it is clear that their work is of exceptional quality, often this is lost due to the challenges in interpreting the English. That their work is less appreciated due to how it is presented is a disservice to the students, their academic advisors and the universities where they study.
I provide an opportunity for your work to be personally proofread by a Canadian with experience in academic writing and English as a native language. Why Canada? Standards differ across the world as do acceptable English usage, so having a professional proofread and edit works by a Canadian for a Canadian university can dramatically improve your outcomes."
