As a freelance copy-editor/proofreader since 2009, with a strong background in teaching English as a foreign language, I have considerable experience in reviewing original text for English language consistency and grammar and have a proven record of successful assignment delivery working with both public and private sector bodies across a range of publications from official reports to journal articles to legal documents.
