VIDEO REVIEW
   


        "Hi, I am Xuanqi. I am a senior PhD student from National University of Singapore.  During the time when I was busy working on my thesis, I saw notices about Boon’s proofreading service on campus, and I decided to give it a try, since I was not confident with my writing skills, as a non-native English speaker. My thesis topic is basically related to materials chemistry and I sent around 23,000 words to Boon for proofreading. I want to say Boon is a very responsible, patient and kind proofreader. When I checked his work, I found he was careful and detailed, since he spotted many mistakes I had never realized. He even sent me a list of the main mistakes I made, and I did learn a lot from that. My English grammar is not good but he still highlighted the same kind of mistakes over and over again patiently.

As a result, the final version of my thesis has been polished."

REVIEW #3

"As a researcher, I have written a number of research papers and two books with Springer. Along the way of my work, I have learned how to write good English with the English proofreaders. Recently, I asked Boon’s proofreading service for my writing. I realized that Boon’s proofreading service is the most comprehensive. Boon’s service is not just the proofreading, but also the qualified editor that comes with careful and deep thinking for the writing. This significantly enhances my writing."

Reviews of my Proofreading Service

I'm a part-time English Language lecturer at National University of Singapore (NUS) and I provide proofreading services for English writing. For a quotation of my rates, please contact:



Here are some reviews of my work from my past customers:

******************

Reviewer 1:  Janci   (4 Jun 2012)

"My name is Janci and I am currently studying for my degree course. I have been utilizing Mr Boon’s proofreading service for my assessment papers for the past 9 months. Mr Boon has done proofreading for about 5 to 6 of my assignment papers. As far as I’m concerned, he has proven to be a quality proofreader. He is good at providing the details of sentence formation, spotting errors in spelling, grammar, and the flow of sentences. He is used to responding promptly to my requests for proofreading.
As a good proofreader, his cooperativeness and good attitudes towards his work is appreciated. He is aware that the purpose of checking English Grammar and Sentence Formation is to enhance his role as an expert person in proofreading. His quick response and timely reply with complete job is really useful and has created a professional trust in him. His charge (payment) for the task is reasonable and acceptable. Good proofreaders usually use the "track changes" function and insert comments which explain why certain changes are needed. The comments which he gives make sense and are useful for the correction and checking of English grammar."

Reviewer 2:  Faye   (3 Jun 2012)
"Fast and reliable work!"

Reviewer 3: Junko (5 Jul 2012)

"Mr. Boon proofread my MA thesis in 2010.

He provided a comprehensive proofreading includes checking for and correcting the basics such as grammar, spelling, punctuation, word choice, and sentence structure.

I was very impressed by the quality of feedback that was given. His work was very reliable and professional."
******************

Reviewer 4: Nanxi (28 July 2012)

"This is Nanxi from NTU (Nanyang Technological University, Singapore). Mr. Boon was my personal proofreader in the past year, assisting me in reviewing my post-graduate scholarship application materials. His professional work impressed me a lot, in terms of punctuality and review quality. He is able to complete the proofreading work within the time constraint. With his dedicated language and grammar refinements, the language level of my materials became upgraded to a more advanced level. Also, sometimes he provides personal comments such as “You may say…but you can’t say…”. Such comments show he is using his heart to do the service, rather than working like a language improving machine.

Thanks Mr. Boon for your excellent work. I sincerely wish his work can benefit more people."
(The client has happily succeeded in his PhD scholarship application and has even been featured in the local newspapers on 27 July 2012 - The Straits Times, ad on page A16)
