Hello! I'm Sarah, a native English speaker based in the United States. I'm a highly experienced professional editor with a background in logistics and finance. My industry experiences have been further enriched through extensive training in both editing and writing, including earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Creative Writing from Knox College. I use these skill sets to help my clients craft their prose and hone their arguments so they can stand out from the crowd and make their dream schools a reality. It would be my genuine pleasure to assist you in developing and perfecting your essays and applications!

Published author and college advisor with extensive expertise in writing and editing

I have six years of experience helping students with academic writing, including personal statements, application letters, and publications. Having just finished my PhD in the philosophy of education, I also hold a MA in Philosophy of Education from UCL IoE and a MSc in Higher Education from Oxford University. Higher education is my passion and as a long-time international student from the USA in the UK, I am keen to help you achieve your educational goals at top universities.

Having studied at both Harvard University (BA) and Peking University (MA), I know what it takes to get into elite academic institutions, and it is my mission to help you do the same! Additionally, as a fluent speaker of Mandarin Chinese and having lived in China for several years, I have acquired the necessary framework to better understand the Chinese context and skillfully navigate any type of language barrier. I look forward to working with you as we work together to help you achieve your goals!

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.

I am a Senior Advisor here at ZHISHIQ, and I've helped students across a variety of fields get into their dream universities. Being a former international student myself, and having worked with admissions, I understand what it takes to make your application shine. Having run admissions with both an English language school and tech school, I am certain I can help you craft a statement that is polished, professional, and shows off your unique capabilities.
