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.

An Ivy League graduate with years of experience in higher education and editing, Sarah enjoys helping other people with their writing. Her approach is to help you enhance your unique voice and play to your strengths in your applications.

I am a professional ESL teacher and editor. I studied abroad in college and taught English overseas for four years before returning to the US. I am CELTA certified in TESOL, specifically for teaching adult speakers of other languages. I currently work in marketing as an editor for large businesses. I have strong skills in editing and proofreading for a variety of subjects, including English, literature, sociology, anthropology and linguistics.

Hi, I'm James Tischler. Currently, I'm a semi-retired university professor with over 15 years experience working with students and helping others learn. Prior to that, I worked over 30 years in the private sector, in a variety of senior management positions.

I am available for tutoring and for editing assistance. I have technical writing experience in the field of microbiology and agriculture as well as creative writing experience.

With a background in Chinese to English translation and teaching English as a second language, I have honed excellent skills in attention to detail and cultivated a passion towards supporting international students. Having completed a year of study with Zhejiang University of Media and Communications, I have gained first-hand experience of the challenges of studying in another language and believe I can support students in reflecting their potential through the application process.

I have a Bachelors in Sociology and a Juris Doctor from Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC. I am an avid reader, but studying law made me an avid proofreader. I look forward to helping you with your writing goals!
