My Experience
I have over 30 years experience in editing and proofreading academic and technical papers.
I have taken on many big challenges in my career. The first was founding a small English language service in southern Japan, which I used as a springboard to pilot an English acquisition program in Japanese elementary schools. Finally, I pioneered an English accent training module in China, incorporating software for training, testing, and self-evaluation.
Since I began proofreading research papers in the early ’90s, I have helped researchers in the fields of medicine, business, and ecotechnology successfully publish papers in esteemed journals and universities. I have also trained and rehearsed with academics for English presentations.
