Our Approach
Fox Proofreading is a family-run business. For a decade, we have helped many students and professional academics with their careers. Whether you are writing a thesis or a journal article, we can help you with your academic language and plain English - especially if you are an overseas student for whom English is a second language. We offer a friendly service tailored to your academic needs.
From the initial enquiry to the submission of the paper, we offer a service bespoke to every client’s needs. Using our extensive academic knowledge and expertise, we help to refine your language and referencing based on your requirements. We do not use AI, nor do we use referencing software. Instead, we utilise the nuances and complexity of human experience.
