I am an editor, proofreader, coach, and mentor specialising in academic work. I edit theses and dissertations, academic articles, essays, presentations, and any other material that requires a professional eye and constructive criticism. I provide extensive feedback on how to improve your writing. I also provide coaching and mentoring in the research and writing process. I hold a PhD in Celtic Studies (specialising in linguistics) from the National University of Ireland, Galway, and a BA in Celtic Studies from Utrecht University, the Netherlands. I have over 12 years experience as a professional academic editor and 17 years of experience in teaching and research at University level, including at the National University of Ireland, Galway, at Ghent University, Belgium, and at Aberystwyth University, Wales (UK).

I give no-nonsense, honest, and critical feedback, but I always maintain a constructive, kind and sensitive tone. I will not only tell you what you are doing wrong, but also what you are doing right. My services: I edit for grammar, spelling and punctuation, but also for style, structure and content.

I encourage critical thinking, will question your assumptions, and show you the gaps in your arguments. I encourage and direct your own writing, in your own voice, showcasing your strengths and improving your weaknesses.

My experience: I have undertaken academic research and taught at University since 2006. This means that I have looked at the writing process from both sides: the research and writing process, and the teaching and correcting aspect. I have taught language, literature, and history. I have provided tutorials in essay writing and coached students in critical thinking, forming a coherent and logical argument and expressing themselves at an academic level. My work ethic: I am invested in my work and pride myself on doing it well. I am honest, reliable and pay close attention to detail. I provide thorough, effective and practical feedback.
