As a high school teacher of 20 years, I have a great deal of experience in proofreading of every kind, including novels, academic papers, brochures, formal letters, proposals and more. I believe I have developed something of a flair for both formal and informal written expression. I occasionally write to the 'Argus' and 'Cape Times' and have, on occasion, been placed as the 'leading letter'. I have freelanced as a one-on-one English tutor, both online and in person. My proofreading service includes error-checking; text-flow; effectiveness of expression; logical cohesion; minor rephrasing; and checking for appropriateness of tone. Charge: 30 cents per word (negotiable).
