Overseas Students - Will Your English WRITING let you down?


Are you worried about failing your University course because your written English is not perfect?


HERE'S HOW YOU CAN 'PASS WITH FLYING COLOURS'!


Many foreign students in the UK, while being confident or even brilliant in their faculty, maybe far less competent in their written English skills. They feel their written work needs to be checked and revised (proof-read) by a native English-speaker, in order to achieve a higher standard of written English and ultimately get a higher grade in their Thesis/Dissertation.


You see, regardless of how brilliant the content of your academic work is, examination boards will penalise you for poorly written work; everything from minor spelling errors and incorrect vocabulary to bad grammar, sentence structure and paragraphing.


Points are ruthlessly deducted for incomprehensible text and for you, the student, this can mean a big difference in your result. It can mean the difference between a first class degree and a third class one. That is a BIG difference! A difference that could have a decisive effect on your career and your future. Most of you will only ever get one chance to get your BA or MA and, as you well know, it costs a lot of money as well as time and work to get through it.


However, having your academic work proof-read and edited by a professional, native English-speaker is completely permissible. People with professional skills and experience in proof-reading and editing, such as Chris Proctor of “English-Teacher-ESL,” who are offering their services to students privately.


Students can send their essays or dissertations directly by email or on a CD by post. The work is thoroughly proof read and then edited using reputable software and sent back as a PDF document or in Microsoft word.


Alternatively, you could meet me in person over a morning coffee for instance, or speak with me by telephone or Skype, in order to explain things that they are trying to say that are, shall we say, not being conveyed in English as well as they could be. This gives you the chance to develop a good relationship with your personal editor and to discuss better ways of conveying your ideas in writing, while improving the overall presentation of your written work, learning more about the English language and possibly even gaining the bonus of adding to the quality of the content.


Finally, you are given the option of having your document returned showing all the corrections made in annotations in the margins. Or if they prefer, just the final, clean, edited version, all ready for submission.


My only stipulation is that students must be reasonable with their deadlines for the completion of editing for final submission of work.


So, don't wait! Just come to me for a highly professional, proof-reading service by a fully-qualified English Teacher (ESL). Proof-reading and editing by me, Christopher proctor, a professional English Language Teacher (ESL) will be of great benefit to you.


Competitive Rates: Since I charge an hourly rate, the overall fee depends on the quantity of text to proof-read and edit, e.g. a thesis will obviously take longer than an essay.
