testimonials
Being constitutionally verbose, the final draft of my dissertation was horribly over-length. I felt sure I had repeated myself and indulged extraneous detail, but I could no longer see the wood for the trees! PsychProofrading smartly knocked my dissertation into shape, cutting over 10% of the text. Brief notes in the margin also helped me to see where the structure wasn't working well. As a result, I was able to improve the flow of my argument and bring greater clarity to my ideas. It felt like being rescued when I was drowning, and I’m very grateful indeed. Happily, I got a distinction!
Jo, Psychotherapy Trainee
"Outstanding high quality proofreading work, very timely and prompt responses, quick turnaround times. Apart from making my texts more concise, readable and coherent for native speakers, Psychproofreading provided additional notes and suggestions which I found incredibly helpful. I've used Psychproofreading services many times and I will keep coming back whenever I need help"
Ana, Masters In Psychoanalytic Studies
"Writing English as a second language can be difficult because I have a tendency to revert to my native language when I get stuck, so I think and reason in my native language when I write. I was a day before the deadline and thanks to Catherine's prompt and detailed proofreading, my English looks coherent and clear. She gives helpful and detailed punctuation advice when the statement needs to be backed or doesn't make sense and she gives a clear direction for amendments. Definitely the best proofreading service I've ever used!"
Hailan, Masters in Psychoanalysis
"Excellent proofreading support to my submissions during a three year master. Really meaningful turnaround, with clear and subject-specific suggestions, which made my essays and dissertation way more readable by native speakers, a real success. Psychproofreading helped me to correct my grammar and spelling, and also there were several nice notes on how to improve the flow and legibility. I have recommended my friends and colleagues to proofread their work before any submission with Psychproofreading"
Francesca, Masters in Psychoanalysis
"Working in English as a non native speaker, I thought I could write till I got feedback from Uni. I contacted PsychProofreading for help and got a quick response and comprehensive feedback. Great planning support via Zoom, helped with discussing the structure and coherence of the essay. The support nearer the essay submission deadline was much appreciated and prevented me from having a meltdown! Thanks to PsychProofreading the essay for my PGCE in Secondary Education got excellent marks!!!"
Chris, PGCE
"I passed all my essays and would not have done it without your help and guidance"
