Our academic integrity promise

What we do

• Edit and proofread writing that you produced, with every change tracked so you stay in control.
• Tutor you one-to-one on reading a brief, planning, structuring an argument, researching and referencing.
• Give feedback on your drafts and chapters, and help you understand your supervisor's comments.
• Coach you in research methods and statistics so you can run and explain your own analysis.
• Help researchers format manuscripts, choose journals and respond to reviewers.

What we don't do

• We don't write essays, assignments, coursework, dissertations or thesis chapters for students to submit as their own.
• We don't sit exams, tests or online assessments for anyone.
• We don't run your data analysis and hand over results for you to present as your work.
• We don't rewrite text to get around similarity or AI-detection checks.

If a request falls into this second list, we'll say no and suggest a way we can help that keeps the work yours.

Why we work this way

Submitting someone else's work as your own is academic misconduct. It can cost you a module, a degree or a visa, and in some countries selling that kind of service to students is against the law. It is also a poor deal for you: you pay, and you learn nothing you can use in the exam hall, the viva or the job afterwards.

Good editing and good teaching do the opposite. Your work gets better, and so do you.

Using an editor within your university's rules

Most universities allow proofreading and tutoring within limits, and many publish a policy that says how much help is acceptable. Please read yours and share it with us. If your institution asks you to declare that your work was proofread, we encourage you to do so, and we're happy to be named.
