“I wanted to get my grammar and punctuation checked on a job application I had drafted. Cambridge Proofreading did a good job of this. I also found them to be much more affordable than other CV editing services that I saw advertised online. I would use this service again.”

CV proofreading services

Gary, Dublin, Ireland

“Cambridge Proofreading helped check through my Statement of Purpose and I have since been accepted on to the master’s degree that I applied for. I am so glad that I sent my statement to be checked as the editor picked up on many errors that I had originally overlooked.”

Accepted to Masters program

Isabel, UT Austin

“I submitted my CV to Cambridge and was impressed by the quality and speed of service. It was returned in just five hours and the editor managed to spot several errors that I certainly would have missed. I intend to send my cover letter in soon. Thanks.”
