BSc Biotechnology & Plant Sciences | Academic & Scientific Proofreading/Editing | Life Sciences/Biology Papers | Afrikaans to English Translator | ESL Specialist
I specialize in proofreading and light editing of research papers, theses, manuscripts, and journal submissions for non-native English speakers in the life sciences.
With 3+ years of hands-on experience in proofreading and editing academic and technical documents, I focus on improving grammar, clarity, flow, and academic tone while preserving your original meaning and scientific content.
I hold a BSc in Biotechnology and Plant Sciences, which gives me strong subject knowledge in molecular biology, genetics, plant physiology, and related fields. This allows me to handle complex scientific writing accurately and confidently.
For the past year I have taught advanced English on Preply, including DET, TOEFL, IELTS, business conversation, and general English. This has sharpened my ability to help non-native speakers communicate clearly and professionally in writing.
I also provide accurate Afrikaans to English translation, with a focus on academic and scientific material.
What I offer:
• Thorough proofreading (grammar, spelling, punctuation, consistency)
• Light copyediting for better readability and structure
• Fast turnaround with Track Changes in Word or Google Docs
• Confidential, high-quality work
Happy to do a short sample edit or translation test on your document.
Let me help make your scientific writing polished and publication-ready.
