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."

  1. I use Boon service to proof read my PhD thesis proposal. He commented not only on the grammar and technical aspect of the English language but gave his opinions and suggestions regarding to the content of the subject as well. The comment really helps in structuring a good proposal.

  2. Boon’s proofreading service is amazing! Not only he explained my mistakes but also he gave me suggestions to improve the paper. Also he was fast to complete his work in time. Since he has a bachelor’s degree in Physics, he knows how to comment on engineering papers as well. If you are searching for a proofreading service, go for Boon’s proofreading service!

  3. I asked Mr. Boon to proofread my English because I was not very satisfied with the quality of proofreading done by another editor (editmyenglish.com) that I had used before; the editing service checked English grammar only. Mr. Boon's quality of proofreading fulfilled my expectation though I had to wait for a few days (He had to edit another customer's draft when I asked him to proofread my English) and it cost more than another proofreading service. Overall, however, I am happy with Mr. Boon's editing service and I would like to recommend him as a quality editor.

  4. Mr Boon service was engaged because the proofreading services offered for
    free by the English Centre in my university were inconsistent and hence
    unsatisfactory. The grammatical errors in my paper were reduced thanks to
    Boon's help, resulting in a quantitative improvement of 10% within the
    language component.

  5. Boon’s proofreading service is pretty thorough and he was able to point out many mistakes in my masters thesis (Zoological Sciences). Many grammatical errors and inconsistency in formatting were picked up for my final draft. All thanks to him, I manage to meet my deadline on time and my thesis looked much more presentable after his proof reading although my supervisor made a couple of changes here and there (mostly due to content issues).

  7. My Final year project's supervisor suggested having my project proof-read. I goggled and found Boon's blog. He proof-read a few pages for me. I like it and without second thought, I engaged him. He completed the proof-read within 5 days for the 22,000 words project on supply chain management. Boon is thorough and analytical; he corrected the grammar, reconstructed the sentences to ensure logistics flow and highlighted errors. This has greatly improve the quality of my project.

    1. "logistics flow" should have been "logical flow"

  8. I asked Boon to proofreading one section of my master thesis (Computer Science). His service is punctual and high quality. He pointed out many of my grammatical errors and also gave some suggestions about the format of academic writing. I am very satisfied with his service.

  9. I am impressed by Boon's professionalism. He took meticulous care in reading one of my manuscripts, was respectful in his approach, and completed the task efficiently, mindful that I might need to submit my manuscript soon. I will ask for his service again.

  10. As a non-native English speaker, I always find writing a paper very frustrating, let alone my Ph.D thesis (Computer Science). I have recently asked Boon to proofread three chapters of my Ph.D thesis with a total of 16K words. Not only does he complete it on time, but the quality of the work is superb. Grammar errors, choice of wording, even punctuations, are also corrected. I fount my thesis much more pleasant to read after his editing. I therefore sent two more chapters to him. In addition, I also recommended him to my lab-mate without any hesitation, who is also writing his Ph.D thesis.

  11. I am a year-4 life science student from NUS and I am applying for postgraduate study now. As a non-native speaker, English is my disadvantage and I need my personal statement to be proofread. I am impressed by Boon's work and now my personal statement is much better. In addition, Boon did it in only a few hours which allowed me to have extra time to submit my application.

  13. I’m a student in one of the local universities and I enlisted Boon’s assistance in proofreading one of my papers. He offered quality proofreading service and I’m very impressed – besides grammar and sentence structures, he also offered new ways to phrase certain arguments or paragraphs to ensure that my message is sent across clearly.

    Boon responds promptly to my requests and he never fails to seek clarification before proofreading my work. Furthermore, he is committed in ensuring that I received my work on time by proofreading my work earlier than the expected time given by him.

    He is a reliable proof-reader and I’ll come back again in future to enlist his expertise.

  14. I gave Boon a challenging task: to proof read my research proposal. Words that come straight off my mind. Though it is just over 2000 words, it takes great effort to understand what I am trying to say (without my explanation). Despite these challenges, Boon has delivered what he promised.
    I learn alot from his comments and learn to structure my writing even though if its writing for the 1st draft

  15. After hearing and seeing so much good reviews about Mr Boon, I decided to check out Mr Boon’s proofreading services for my PhD thesis. He is very professional as he will explain clearly the job scope and takes effort to send samples to you to ensure you on his good quality work. He is also patience in answering all my queries too! Best of all, proofreading services for a whole thesis can be very expensive for a student and he is willing to negotiate on the price! Thus, he is sincere in helping the students and not only worked for monetary rewards. This is the last step in my thesis writing and I have total trust in him for a good job. I was proven right and my thesis looks much better after his meticulous work!
