My experience:
I have written published content for organisations, including universities (e.g. the public- and staff-facing web pages for the University of Sheffield's scholarship schemes), and have worked as an online tutor/ mentor, advising students on the structure and content of written material for assignments. I have extensive experience of academic writing in music, philosophy and linguistics. I have produced papers and presentations which have been accepted for UK and international conferences and worked as a research assistant writing project reports (further information can be found on my research page). I currently write for the British Flute Society magazine, Pan, and proofread other sections of the magazine before publication, and I recently worked as rapporteur for Making Music's adult learning events, writing up reports on each session which fed into the final manifesto. I have proofread PhD theses, final year degree dissertations, music diploma essays and academic journal papers.
Feedback on my academic writing:
“The quality of her academic English is superb." - BA(Hons) tutor
“The submission was carefully and logically constructed, with clarity in framework and language. Much research was evident, and obvious thought had been given to use of teaching material.” - DipABRSM Teaching Diploma Written Submission comments
“It is well structured, well written and well presented. Your literature review shows that you have understood the materials well, and this is underlined in your analysis section, where you engage with the literature in a meaningful way."- MA assignment feedback
“Very well written and well structured. You have deployed salient literature effectively and your literature review is very well written. Your overall argument is well thought through, with clear and logical steps. You also draw on your own experiences appropriately and effectively. Your decisions about ethical issues were sensibly made, persuasively communicated and then applied conscientiously.Your writing is always clear and comprehensible… this could be the basis for a publishable study." - MA final dissertation feedback
Feedback on my writing support:
"incredibly constructive and helpful" - LLCM Diploma by Thesis candidate
"your points were really useful - helped me to reshape my essay and I feel much happier with it now" - BA Philosophy student
"extremely helpful to a non-native English speaker, especially in helping me to phrase things well" - philosophy student
