I'm a TEFL Certified ESL Teacher, Master Life Coach and Professional Workshop Facilitator with extensive experience in Coaching, ESL Teaching/TOEFL and IELTS Prep, General Tutoring, Lecturing, and providing Business, Finance, HR and Legal English Training. I’ve worked with a diverse range of students and professionals, including the United Nations - contributing to a wide range of expertise. I believe in Communicating to be Understood and Listening to Understand - so, let's keep in touch.

Top Rated Plus✅PhD holder✅Solid publication record✅Over 300 texts edited✅Native English speaker✅Member: Professional Editors Guild✅AI savvy✅Patient and meticulous✅ Available seven days per week✅ I excel in helping writers overcome obstacles to achieving their publishing goals. Word choice, sentence structure, logical rigour, and thematic consistency can make the difference between a publisher accepting or rejecting a manuscript. If you need a precise, punctual, and thorough writer, proofreader, copy editor, reviewer, or just general academic guidance, then I can help! I also have experience enhancing AI-generated writing to meet publishing standards. I have a PhD in philosophy of science and have successfully copy-edited over 300 texts (both on Upwork and for a top UK editing company). There are some writing and editing samples in my Upwork portfolio. I have also published several papers in high-ranking journals, written two books, and given numerous conference talks. I can therefore help with whatever writing or speaking tasks you might be undertaking. I am also available for consultations if you have intellectual ideas you'd like to stress-test. The same goes for advice related to entering academia or undertaking academic projects. This includes advice or supervision for students, as well as input on research projects or related undertakings. I have recently been specialising in helping aspiring PhD candidates through the PhD-by-publication process offered by some universities. I have also been guiding independent scholars through the process of conceptualising, researching, writing, and publishing a paper or book with a recognised publisher. (Please note that I do not use AI in my work unless requested. I am also not available to manipulate AI-generated student assignments or theses specifically to pass an AI detector test. I can, however, edit student texts for clarity, style, reader-friendliness, and thematic and logical consistency. I can also leave comments/suggestions alongside a student's own writing where something seems to be missing or might need to be fleshed out further.)

If you're looking for exciting, original writing in good, easy-to-read English that's accurate and conforms to a high standard, I would love to hear from you. I specialize in counselling and coaching, helping people overcome trauma, develop practical interpersonal skills, and build healthy relationships, both with themselves and others. My focus is on providing proven, practical tools and techniques that are effective in helping people transform their lives. I have a BA in Dramatic Art (majored in English Literature) from the University of Cape Town and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from the University of South Africa. I have 30+ years' experience in family and relationship counseling as well as Life Skills training for children and adolescents. During this time, I have written numerous articles, ghostwritten two psychology-based self-help books (published on Kindle), as well as my own non-fiction book (published by Penguin Random House). I am familiar with the use of both U.S. and Oxford English writing styles, spelling and grammar and have been published on both sides of the Atlantic. Although my work has focused primarily on assisting people to improve their interpersonal relationships, research is fun for me, and I enjoy discovering and writing about new trends, ideas and perspectives. You will always have my best effort - on time, every time.
