NOTE* Dissertation/Essay proofreading is better served when submitted to me as far in advance of the deadline as possible.
Sending in sections as they are finished is most effective.
Last minute requests, especially over a weekend are often unable to be met, nonetheless please do enquire as exceptions are possible.
A contract is issued and a £35 deposit to cover the first 2 hours of work is to be paid in advance please. This secures the work for the student and myself.

Please do approach me with your personal requirements, and I will endeavour to meet them accordingly.
All students are individual, and I can be adaptable.
I prefer a commitment to a series of 10 lessons or more, then consistent progress can be made, and a good working relationship established...but will consider all requests depending upon personal needs.

I say this with such happiness she has helped me sooooo much in my 3rd year and I truly have seen a difference in my essay writing skills. She is also very organised and patient, there have been times were I have sent my work a day before the deadline!
I am thinking of doing a Masters and would love if you could proof read for me again! Hope you would take me on! You have been so awesome and patient thank you!!!
My review:
I am a British undergraduate student at Cardiff university studying religion and Archaeology in my 3rd year. Writing essays can be stressful and tiring especially when you have a few deadlines lined up, however Barbara has been Amazing! IView more recommendations
