Passionate Educator with experiences in teaching science, project management, proofreading and editing in English, translation from English to Hindi and vice versa, and counselling and mentoring teens and young adults

I edit and proofread English language academic research papers and other non-technical material written by non-native English speakers by checking for spelling, grammar, clarity, conciseness, consistency, sentence structure, and word choice, bringing out the authors’ intended meaning, while meeting the requirements of the target journal, or an external style guide (AMA, ACS, or APA), and complying with general English language rules.
