"Possibly my favorite work on this platform involves editing and proofreading academic papers, essays, and other written material. In addition to having a strong grasp of grammar and a sharp eye for details, I am well versed in the APA, MLA, and Chicago-Turabian format and citation styles (and also have some experience with AMA and NLM). I have more than 10 years of experience revising doctoral dissertations, Masters Theses, books, websites, articles, academic papers, and more. I enjoy editing and proofreading both synchronously and asynchronously, and I would be glad to work with you according to your preference.

I also enjoy and have extensive experience providing writing assistance and ESL tutoring. I am certified in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) through Bridge Education Group. From 2003-2007, I taught English in Malaysia to secondary and post-secondary school students at two learning centers, developed curriculum and a program syllabus, and led field trips and English camps. I also became fluent in the Malay language and helped facilitate village home-stays for foreigners who were visiting Malaysia.

After returning to the US, I volunteered for several years as an ESL tutor for refugees from Somalia, the Congo, Myanmar, and elsewhere. I have been tutoring with Wyzant since 2013, covering a range of subjects and specializing in the areas of proofreading, editing, ESL, writing, and grammar.

I enjoy writing, sports, traveling, and international food and culture. I currently live with my wife and daughter in South Carolina. My wife and I are originally from Canton, Ohio." less...
