Workshops for students and university staff

My name is Dawn Leggott and I provide proofreading services to students writing up their doctoral thesis and to individual academics. I am also an assessor of students' presentation and job interview skills and I run interactive workshops for universities e.g. on the subject of proofreading.

​

Why choose me? 

I am a qualified proofreader and member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading.

​

A former university lecturer, I used to teach Academic Writing, so I am very familiar with academic writing styles and referencing conventions. 

​

I am a native speaker of English and a linguist. I love words, language and languages.

​

I am professional and reliable.

​

I know how important it is for you to meet your submission deadline for your thesis or journal article and I have never missed a deadline!

​

All of my workshops are interactive and engaging. I am a qualified (English) language teacher. The only way to learn a language is by using it, not by listening passively to a lecture. I apply the same learning-by-doing principles to my workshops.
