I'm offering
"Hi, my name is Alex, I'm 25 years old and I live in Wolverhampton.
In 2016, I graduated with a First Class BA in Criminology and Sociology from Keele University. I then went on to teach English in Beijing, China, to students aged 3 to 12.
Since returning to the UK, I have worked as an editor/proofreader. I have proofread everything from my own academic work, other students' work, English language homework, dissertations and even IT books, despite not being 'techy' myself. I have also had an article published on Pathfinder Software, helping university students to better manage their time. I am now studying for a Level 5 Diploma in Editing and Proofreading.
I have a passion for the English language (and also the Mandarin I learned in China!). It would be great to connect with you and help you excel in your work."
