I'm an American living and working in England which means I've had the best of both worlds in terms of English speaking and writing. I have worked as an editor, an ESL tutor and an admissions officer and I hold degrees from Stanford University and NYU (and I'm currently at Oxford University). Thus I am not only very qualified but also very familiar with the graduate application process. I've worked with many students from all over the world and I am committed to the very best customer service.

My name is Sophie Dodds and I'm a freelance copy-editor and proofreader based in Edinburgh. I have a BA from the University of Oxford and an MSc from the University of Edinburgh. I have several years' experience of working in fields such as the arts, health, publishing and software, and I have recently spent 18 months with an organisation that encourages equality and diversity in universities across the UK. I love working with students who speak English as a second language, and I have a track record of supporting them to achieve academic success.

British qualified commercial solicitor (non-practising) with legal experience working in Intellectual Property Litigation, Real Estate, Private Client and Financial Services. Also experienced in the media sector, having worked for MTV Networks and EMI Music.

With a varied professional background dealing with the nuances of the English language, I have honed my skills at writing for diverse audiences; writing for the attention of the dreaded university applications officer is a feat that I can help you accomplish. As a journalist I covered an odd array of topics, from the arts to economics, urban conservation to international relations. I will ensure you put yourself across as you intend, no matter what the subject of your writing is.

Graduate student at the University of Cambridge; (Successful!) International applicant from the USA; Professional editor, copywriter, press consultant

With an MSc from the University of Edinburgh, I have many years of experience in teaching undergraduate students and have mentored hundreds of students. As a writer and editor, I am skilled at providing effective, inspiring and motivating feedback. My first priority is establishing a warm and supportive relationship with any student I work with. From there, I will work closely with you to boost your confidence, hone your writing skills and ensure your application stands out.
