Proofreading & Editing Services

Great ideas deserve clear expression. With a Ph.D. in History and a background in Economics, I understand the importance of clear, accurate, and well-structured writing — especially in academic and professional settings. I offer high-quality proofreading and editing services in English for a wide range of written materials.

Whether you’re a student, researcher, or professional, I can help refine your work to meet academic and publication standards. My services include:

  • Academic articles and journal submissions
  • Dissertations and theses
  • Coursework and essays
  • Research proposals and grant applications
  • Conference papers and presentations
  • Book chapters and monographs
  • Reports, white papers, and more

I specialize in texts across the humanities and social sciences, including History, Economics, Geography, Sociology, Political Science, Cultural Studies, and related disciplines. However, I am open to working with a variety of projects from other academic and professional areas.

In addition to English, I have proficiency in Russian, French, and Spanish, with basic knowledge of Finnish, Arabic, and Chinese. This multilingual background allows me to better understand and support writers working between languages or translating ideas into English.

Whether you’re a non-native English speaker seeking language polishing or a native speaker looking for an extra set of expert eyes, I tailor my approach to your needs — ensuring clarity, consistency, and academic integrity throughout your work.

I’m currently based in Helsinki, Finland, and work with clients both locally and internationally.

Testimonials

Raymond was of great help during my doctoral training. Although I believed that the level of English I had developed was sufficient to study in the United States, the reality was that the demands of doctoral studies in history required my academic writing skills to improve significantly. In this process of improvement, Raymond supported me not only by proofreading some of my course papers and academic articles for publication, but also by proofreading my doctoral dissertation.

During the revision process, Raymond didn’t just correct—he made a point of teaching. For his passion, patience, generosity in teaching, and above all, for his human quality, I will always be grateful to Raymond. I highly recommend his work.

I wrote to Raymond for support in writing my Master’s thesis in the spring of 2024. He worked with me to clarify my project on a structural level as well as giving clear and helpful feedback on stylistic and syntactical issues. Not only was the thesis I ultimately turned in the best product that it could have been, working with Raymond also improved my own research and writing skills. I would recommend his services to anyone working on an important academic project.
