What my customers say
I’ve more than once contacted Lisa to help me edit and proofread my essays and articles in English, which were to be submitted to trade journals and volumes. She’s always been more than helpful, doing an impeccable job with her fine corrections, suggestions and useful tips, even anticipating and solving possible issues I hadn’t thought about. I really don’t know what I would have done without her help and dedication.

Baghya W., certified translation customer
Lisa is amazing! She helped me with various aspects of improving my English throughout my time at university, and she even helped me proofread my bachelor’s and master’s theses. She is very professional, reliable, and puts her heart into her work. Not only did my grades improve, but it was also a lot of fun!
