Every sentence sharpened.
Every error caught.

Our academic proofreading service gives every line of your essay, assignment or report to a UK-qualified human editor. Your editor corrects grammar, tone and flow in tracked changes, so markers judge your argument, not your typos.

What's Included

Academic proofreading, not a quick spellcheck

Every document is edited by a postgraduate-qualified person, never by software or AI tools, to the standards below.

Grammar & Syntax

Every grammatical error, awkward construction and punctuation slip corrected: subject-verb agreement, articles, tense consistency and more.

Academic Tone & Style

Informal phrasing, vagueness and wordiness replaced with precise, appropriately formal academic language that markers reward.

Flow & Readability

Sentence variety, paragraph transitions and logical sequencing refined so your argument reads smoothly from introduction to conclusion.

UK English Consistency

Spellings, conventions and idioms standardised to British English throughout. No more mixing 'analyse' and 'analyze'.

Terminology Accuracy

Discipline-specific terms checked for correct usage by an editor matched to your subject area.

Tracked Changes + Summary

Every correction visible with tracked changes, plus an editor's note explaining the patterns to watch in your next draft.

In Practice

See exactly what changed, and why

Every edit arrives as tracked changes with margin notes, so the reasoning is never a mystery. You stay in control of every word while learning what to watch for next time.

  • Accept or reject each change individually
  • Margin notes explain your recurring error patterns
  • Clean, submission-ready copy included alongside
The Process

From rough draft to refined submission

Four steps, with an update from us at each one.

01

Send your document

Upload your draft with your deadline, level, and related concerns. We'll automatically conduct a word count in your quote.

02

Fixed quote in 1 hour

A transparent per-word price, confirmed in writing before anything starts. No obligation, no hidden extras.

03

Editor refines every line

A subject-matched UK editor corrects, tightens, and polishes, with all changes tracked to allow you complete control.

04

Review, accept, submit

Accept or reject each change, read your editor’s summary, and submit knowing the language won’t cost you marks.

Who It's For

If it impacts your grade, it must be polished

Students come to us at every level and stage. Our essay proofreading service covers undergraduate essays, reports and master's coursework, and assignment proofreading gets the same line-by-line edit. A dissertation or thesis goes to our dissertation proofreading service, which adds a structural edit and a second editor.

  • Undergraduate essays and reports where language is costing you marks
  • International students writing in English as a second language
  • Master's students polishing coursework before submission
  • Anyone resubmitting after feedback about clarity or expression
  • Students with dyslexia or SpLDs who want a fair reading of their ideas

What you'll receive

Delivered by email, on or before your deadline

  • Your document with all corrections in tracked changes
  • A clean, submission-ready final copy
  • Editor's summary of recurring issues and how to fix them
  • Formatting tidy-up: headings, spacing, numbering consistency
  • One free revision round within 7 days
Student Reviews

Rated by the students we've edited for

The tracked changes made it obvious where my sentences were running away from me, and every correction had a margin note, so I understood the fix rather than just accepting it. My tutor stopped writing "unclear" in the margins.

As a second-language writer I kept losing marks for tone, not ideas. They standardised everything to UK English and flagged the phrases that read as too informal. The 48-hour turnaround meant I still made my deadline comfortably.

My technical content was fine, my writing rambled. The editor tightened the whole report without touching the engineering and returned it inside two days. It reads far more professional, and the mark reflected it.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Write "free sample" in the message box of the quote form, or message us on WhatsApp, and we will tell you where to send up to 500 words. Your sample edit comes back within 2 working days of receiving them, with tracked changes and comments. There is one free sample per student.

Real editors only. We use no AI tools to edit, rewrite or paraphrase your work. Every document is edited by a vetted, postgraduate-qualified human editor, and quality-checked before delivery.

Yes, that's the difference between editing and rewriting. We correct errors and tighten expression while preserving your argument, structure and natural style. Every change is visible in tracked changes, and you can accept or reject each one.

Of course. UK English is our default, but tell us your required convention (US, Australian, Canadian) in the order notes and your editor will standardise to it.

Microsoft Word (.docx) is ideal because it supports tracked changes, but we also work with Google Docs exports, PDFs (returned with annotated comments) and LaTeX source for technical documents.

Completely. Your file is visible only to your assigned editor, handled under GDPR-compliant processes, and permanently deleted from our systems 30 days after delivery.
