Proofreading Services
Honest, detailed feedback on your application.
I'll go through your personal statement (and writing sample, if applicable) and leave detailed comments — highlighting what works, what doesn't, and exactly how to strengthen it. No vague praise, no ghostwriting — just the kind of honest feedback I wish I'd had.
Two options, one goal: a stronger application
Personal Statement Review
- Detailed comments on your personal statement
- Feedback on structure, clarity, and persuasiveness
- Tips on what admissions tutors look for
- Delivered via comments on your document
Personal Statement + Writing Sample
- Everything in the Essential package
- Additional review of your written work / writing sample
- Feedback on academic writing quality and argument strength
- Ideal for Oxford/Cambridge applications with written work requirements
How it works
Send your documents
Email your personal statement (and writing sample, if applicable) as a Word document or a Google Docs link.
I review & comment
I go through your work carefully and leave detailed comments directly on the document — what's strong, what needs work, and how to fix it.
You refine & submit
You get the annotated document back and use the feedback to strengthen your application before submitting.
What you get (and what you don't)
I want to make sure we're on the same page before you book.
What's included
- Detailed, personalised comments on your document
- Honest feedback on structure, tone, and content
- Specific suggestions for improvement
- Perspective from someone who's been through the Oxbridge admissions process
- Feedback delivered within your document (Word comments or Google Docs suggestions)
What's not included
- Ghostwriting — I won't write or rewrite your statement for you
- Editing or rewriting sections myself
- Multiple rounds of review (this is a one-time feedback service)
- Guaranteed admission — I can strengthen your application, but the final decision is always with the university
"My goal is to help you see your application the way an admissions tutor would — and give you the clarity to make it the best it can be. The writing has to be yours. That's what makes it authentic, and that's what they're looking for."
