Expert proofreading for non-native English writers

 

If English is not your first language, having your writing professionally proofread and edited can help you communicate your ideas clearly and confidently. At KT Proofreading, I specialise in proofreading and editing for ESOL (English as a second or other language) clients, ensuring that your writing is fluent, polished, and natural.

​

With extensive experience in ESOL proofreading and a qualification in ESOL teaching, I understand the common challenges non-native English speakers face in academic, business, and personal writing. Whether you're working on an academic essay, business proposal, job application, or personal statement, I will refine your writing while preserving your unique voice and intent.

​

Who is this service for?

​

• Students and academics – Essays, dissertations, journal articles.

• Businesses and professionals – Reports, proposals, emails, marketing materials.

• Job seekers – CVs, cover letters, personal statements, LinkedIn profiles.

• Authors and writers – Manuscripts, self-published books, blogs.

 

If English is your second language and you want your writing to be clear, professional, and natural, my ESOL proofreading and editing service will ensure your work meets the highest standards.

 

What’s included in ESOL proofreading and editing?

​

ESOL proofreading involves more than just checking for spelling and grammar mistakes. I focus on improving:

​

• Grammar, spelling and punctuation – Correcting errors in tense, word order, and sentence structure.

• Clarity and readability – Ensuring your ideas are expressed clearly, concisely, and in natural English.

• Word choice a vocabulary – Replacing awkward phrasing with more natural, idiomatic English.

• Sentence structure and flow – Refining sentence length and structure to improve readability.

• Consistency and style – Ensuring consistent formatting, terminology, and tone throughout your document.

• Academic and business language – Adjusting writing style to meet formal or professional standards.

 

I do not simply correct errors—I enhance fluency and coherence so your writing sounds natural and professional while maintaining your intended meaning.

 

How much does ESOL proofreading and editing cost?

 

Because ESOL documents often require more time and attention than standard proofreading, an additional fee applies.

​

• A premium of 20-30% is added to my standard proofreading and editing rates.

• I will assess a sample of your document before providing an exact quote.

 

This ensures that you receive a fair and accurate price based on the level of editing required.
