Very helpful service. Samantha has helped me to write lots of letters at short notice and also my CV and job applications. She is very friendly and is available at short notice. I am glad I found her to help me. Thank you.

I would definitely recommend Samantha as a proofreader. As a dyslexic student, I have found her most invaluable. It's great not to have to ask my friends to check my spelling, particularly when I am a bit sensitive about it. Samantha even proofreads the smallest of things I write, and treats my dyslexia with respect, which is really nice.
