Proofreading

Proofreading Qualifications My approach for proofreading and editing for publish includes: 1. Revising for cohesion then 2. Proofreading for errors Steps for revising are: 1. Ensuring the thesis statement is clearly stated and informs the reader what the paper is going to be about 2. Double-checking the supporting facts and evidence in the body paragraphs (Check to make sure the facts support the thesis statement and that there are sufficient facts. Ensure quotations are used correctly and that all citations are correct.) 3. Eliminate unnecessary content and language (All of the content should be related to the main idea or thesis statement. Additionally, any confusing or unclear ideas or sentences are removed.) 4. Review for audience appropriateness (This includes making sure the paper is objectively written and is reader-centered.) During the proofreading for errors process the paper is checked for: 1. Spelling 2. Complete sentences 3. Punctuation 4. Subject/verb agreement 5. Construction 6. Parallelism and 7. Pronoun reference/agreement

RESOURCEFUL, OUTSTANDING AND KNOWLEDGEABLE TUTOR

Daura is an outstanding tutor. I have had several sessions with her and have never ended a session without being impressed with her academic knowledge. She is focused, task oriented, and she has a wonderful personality. Never has she made me feel uncomfortable, inadequate, or lacking with knowledge. She is patient and she listens to my ideas and thoughts with a smile and words of encouragement. I always look forward to our sessions.
