Are you an ESL student?
We specialise in helping ESL students match the writing abilities of their native-speaking classmates. We can ensure that your document reads in a confident academic style, with clarity of expression, free from English errors.
Through a comprehensive review of your dissertation or thesis, we will eliminate errors while improving the language and register of your writing. We will also provide feedback on how you can refine the composition of your paper to improve your grades.
Improved style and appropriate tone
We will look to improve lexical (word) choice to ensure that your dissertation/thesis has a confident academic tone.

Get the support of highly experienced academic editors
We will ensure that your dissertation or thesis is submitted in the best possible condition by having it reviewed by an academic editor with expertise in your discipline.
Each year, our editors review more than 6,000 dissertations and theses in a range of subject areas for students and PhD candidates from all over the world. The feedback we receive from our clients is overwhelmingly positive, and we work hard on each order to keep it this way.
Don’t lose precious marks for weaknesses in your English and academic style
Most university guidelines state that 10-20% of the marks awarded for assignments should be for command of written English.
Our editors will make sure that you don’t lose precious marks due to weaknesses in your English writing. Furthermore, we will work to improve academic tone, flow, and structure, so your writing is well received by the grading professor.
Are you an ESL student or academic?
Writing in a second language is difficult. However, writing in a second language to an academic standard is even more challenging. There are so many obscure stylistic conventions that it is hard even for many educated native speakers.
Fortunately, as current and former university staff members and academics, our editors know exactly what grading professors do, and do not, want to see in a dissertation or thesis.
Hire the experts to help
Nothing influences your final degree classification more than the mark you receive from your dissertation or thesis.
If you choose to hire Cambridge to review and improve your dissertation or thesis, you are making an investment in your education and the result of your degree or doctorate. Our previous clients will attest to this.
Subject matter expertise
With over 300 editors spanning the full spectrum of academic disciplines, we can pair most documents with a professional that has experience in the subject area. We believe there is no substitute for subject-matter expertise.
More than 300 experienced dissertation and thesis editors
All the editors in our network hold advanced qualifications (first degrees, master’s degrees, and PhDs) from leading American, British and Anglo-sphere universities.
Many are members of leading industry bodies, such as the Board of Editors in the Life Sciences (BELS) and the Council of Science Editors (CSE).
