Academic English Review offers a comprehensive academic mentoring and editing service. As well as standard proofreading (correction of grammar, punctuation and spelling), I undertake a line-by-line edit and review of syntax, sentence choice, paragraph order and presentation. I ensure that all tables, footnotes, subheadings and bibliographic references are consistent and in the appropriate format. I will also indicate where, if necessary, I think further referencing or information is needed. Mentoring and guidance on appropriate academic language, style and overall narrative structure and integrity is provided. I also offer preparation support for vivas, paper presentations and interviews.
My aim is to help you put your ideas across clearly and effectively before you submit your research, as well as support you in the development of your academic vocabulary and writing style.
My approach is tailor-made to the research, academic level, and specific needs of each client.
Reviews include the following checks for accuracy and consistency:
| – spelling – punctuation – grammar – word choice and language usage – correct use of English language idioms – sentence structure – page numbering and page headings/titles | – referencing table of contents against headings, etc. – cross-referencing – capitals in titles, font size and colour etc. – illustrations, captions and labels numbering – focus and clarity of language – tone / suitability of vocabulary for academic writing – referencing styles (Harvard, APA, Chicago, etc) |
