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.

As scientist with a PhD from Oxford and one of ZhiShiQ's Senior Advisors, I have helped hundreds of clients make successful applications to graduate/undergraduate programs to some of the world's most prestigious universities: think Cambridge, Oxford, LSE, UCL, MIT, Yale, Harvard, Stanford, NUS, HKUST, and ETHZ.

My name is Dr Harriet MacMillan and I am an editor and proofreader with over 8 years of experience. My clients to date have primarily been postgraduate students, but I have also worked commercially on publications including religious books, football annuals and business communications. I am particularly experienced in working with Chinese doctoral students.

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.
