testimonials
As an aspiring academic and non-native speaker of English, Andrew’s excellent proofreading has helped me ensure that my writing reaches native standard; his stylistic recommendations are as sure-footed as his grammatical corrections; at the same time, he is reliable and fast.
Dr Sebastian Sunday Grève, Peking University
I have been using Andrew’s proofreading services for the past ten years, and the experience has been nothing short of excellent. His detailed approach, coupled with his vast knowledge of the English language, has significantly improved the clarity and effectiveness of my writing projects. Andrew’s work goes beyond simple correction of errors – he provides valuable recommendations that have helped to shape and refine my content. Throughout a decade of consistent, high–quality professional work, Andrew has never failed to impress. I highly recommend Andrew’s proofreading services to anyone wishing to elevate their written output.
Professor Jakub Mácha, Masaryk University
Andrew has proofread several books and articles for me. I have been consistently impressed by his precision as well as by the clarity of his corrections. I wholeheartedly recommend him to other academics and writers looking for professional proofreading services.
Professor Simon May, King’s College London
Andrew has proofread two edited anthologies, a number of articles and several research proposals for me. I have always been highly satisfied with his work, especially as Andrew’s holistic approach and thoughtful recommendations give me great confidence that, as a non-native speaker, my English texts will meet the highest linguistic and academic standards.
Dr Alexander Berg, University of Zurich
Andrew is a fantastic translator and editor. He always looks for the best choice of word or phrasing, and is meticulous about the smaller details. He has now translated two of my books into English and on both occasions I could rely on his extremely hard work, flair for language and punctual delivery. Andrew is also a highly accurate editor of specialist non-fiction books, who makes sure the texts he works on meet exacting quality standards and style guidelines. I can recommend his services to any authors of books on management and leadership, and I believe my publisher would say exactly the same.
