Desyre W.

14 Proofreading lessons

She not only accomplished this flawlessly but she went beyond the agreement we had initially and worked with me on her vacation when I needed her last minute. Sheryl works with integrity which is very rare these days. If there is something I would take away from my experience with Sheryl is that she was a very professional, skilled, passionate Angel. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs help editing, writing, proofreading, and assessing large papers like my thesis.

Ashley H.

3 Proofreading lessons

I needed someone who had a very strong English background but who could also review my manuscript and understand where I was coming from. She fit the bill, no question. She is incredibly patient, helpful, knowledgeable (boy is she!) and kind. English was always my strongest subject but along the proofreading road, I was still learning things from her. I only wish she had been my high school English teacher!

Sally J.

13 Proofreading lessons

Christiane was the latter, someone great at helping anyone to write well. She helped me cut obese sentences, make ordinary ones pithy, and generally improve the quality of my writing. She goes above the minimum, often emailing you interesting pieces of writing to study. If you're a fledgling writer who wants more than just a proofreading machine- who wants a humorous, caring, and lively human being to help improve your writing, Christiane's the tutor for you.
