LSE Grad | Academic Writing, Spanish, & Social Science Research

Dani S.

Hello! I'm Dani, and I hold graduate degrees from the London School of Economics (MSc Psychology of Economic Life) and Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona (MA Theoretical and Applied Linguistics), where I specialized in social psychology and linguistic typology. Over six years, I have guided more than 80 students through dissertations, theses, research papers, coursework, and application essays, from high school AP preparation through doctoral dissertations. As a native English and Russian speaker with native-level fluency in Spanish, I have studied and worked across London, New York, Barcelona, San Francisco, and Hong Kong, giving me firsthand understanding of the challenges multilingual writers face.

I specialize in editing drafted work, focusing on structural revision and developmental editing. My expertise spans argument structure, paragraph organization, theoretical framing, and clarity of expression across social sciences and humanities. I work with dissertations, theses, research papers, coursework, literature reviews, case studies, application/college essays, and statements of purpose. I am experienced with APA, Chicago, MLA, Harvard, and Vancouver citation styles. My linguistic background positions me to help refine academic writing: I understand how language shapes ideas and can help you express complex concepts with precision. I welcome non-native English speakers, providing grammatical and cultural explanations alongside writing improvement.

My approach is collaborative. I don't rewrite your work; I help you refine what you have created while preserving your unique scholarly voice. For comprehensive editing, I begin with content and structure, then move to grammar and style. Whether you need developmental editing or targeted proofreading, I tailor my approach to your needs. I would love to help make your writing shine.
