Learn how Dr. Proofwell’s dissertation counseling helped UK grads.
“Christine was my dissertation supervisor on my Urban Regeneration MSc course for which I received a Distinction. Over the course of 6 months, she and I kept in touch through emails, calls and in person meetings, organised at my own pace.
Christine helped to focus my initial rough/wacky ideas into a much more robust proposal that was (1) grounded in academia, (2) achievable in the required timeframe and (3) compatible with somewhat challenging Covid-19 restrictions at the time of my research.
She was not just great as a general advisor and ‘sense checker’ — her extensive research experience was useful to draw on while I was deciding on the best methods to undertake quantitative and qualitative analysis. In the build up to my submission deadline, I also really appreciated her editing of my actual work to ensure that my findings were presented in a way that was appropriate for academia.”

Former Student
“I was looking for someone to check the clarity of my written communication and to point out any grammatical and technical errors.
Dr. Proofwell was very knowledgeable in explaining specific instances where my writing could be improved while affirming the strengths of my work and writing style.
I came away from the service more confident in the finished work and more capable of approaching future written work.”

Dissertation Checkup Client
“I am dyslexic, and I struggle a lot with proofreading my work. I often find that my brain seems to work faster than my hands can keep up with, and it often leads to skipped words, spelling mistakes and incorrect grammar.
Getting my point across in a way that is academically viable is challenging, as is using language that is precise but not too overcomplicated. I wanted to be perceived as well read, with a comprehensive understanding of the English language and how to most effectively make use of it within your chosen subject matter, to make my work stand out against my peers, is an additional challenge on top of just making sure that your basic sentence structure makes sense.
Having someone to proofread my work helped so much. Christine was able to pick up on things that I had missed, and made sure that my project read well, especially if my audience was not familiar with the topic. Christine was great !
I was so lost about how to structure my dissertation especially with this being my second attempt at writing it. With master’s being self-directed and having to work full time on the side, a lot of my learning happened out of call hours and I missed a lot of extra contact time with my tutors because of my situation.
Christine helped me to structure my project and shape and navigate my argument, so it felt strong and convincing. I passed and it meant for a very interesting discussion throughout the dissertation.”

If you find it challenging to write in a way that flows structurally while maintaining proper grammar and punctuation, Dr. Proofwell can provide the support you need.
She is also highly organized and genuinely enjoys proofreading, ensuring quick turnaround times. You have everything to gain by working with Dr. Proofwell.”
