Find Your Situation

Which of These Sounds Like You Right Now?

Singapore students come to us at different stages and for different reasons — see which situation matches yours and we will explain exactly how we help.

Most Common

I Wrote the Assignment Myself — It Just Needs Cleaning Up

You have done the research, written the content, and it is mostly solid — but you know there are sentence-level errors, awkward phrasing, and possibly some referencing inconsistencies. Our editor fixes every layer: grammar, flow, citation format, and academic register. You get the corrected file plus a change summary so you know exactly what was edited and why.

Dissertation / Thesis

My Supervisor Returned the Draft With Language Comments

If your supervisor has flagged clarity issues, passive voice overuse, or poor paragraph coherence, our editors have handled exactly this before — including feedback from NUS, NTU, and SMU supervisors. We address every comment directly and return a revised copy ready for resubmission, with a response note for each supervisor remark if needed.

Non-Native English

English Is Not My First Language and I Am Worried About Marks

Mandarin, Tamil, Malay, Bahasa — Singapore is multilingual, and many students write in English as a second or third language. Our editors do not just correct errors; they preserve your argument and restructure sentences so they read naturally to a native speaker, without losing your original meaning or academic voice.

Urgent Deadline

I Submit in Less Than 24 Hours and Need a Final Check

A last-minute proofread is one of the most requested services we offer, especially before 23:59 Canvas or LumiNUS submission deadlines. Share your document now and tell us your exact cut-off time. Our priority queue ensures an experienced editor starts work within the hour on express orders, covering grammar, flow, and a quick Turnitin check.

Previous Failure

I Lost Marks for Language Errors in a Previous Paper

Examiner feedback that says "poor academic writing" or "language and grammar issues" is one of the most frustrating outcomes when you know your content was correct. We do a deep language audit on your new submission — identifying the same patterns of error that cost you marks before and systematically removing them so this paper performs better.

Plagiarism Concern

I Want a Turnitin and AI Detection Check Before I Submit

In 2026, NUS, NTU, and SMU run submitted work through Turnitin and a secondary AI detection layer. Even if your work is entirely original, paraphrasing issues and unintentional similarity can flag. We run your document through both Turnitin and Originality.ai, return the actual reports, and fix any flagged sections before you submit.

Simple 3-Step Process

How Our Proofreading Service Works in Singapore

From upload to polished final copy — here is exactly what happens from the moment you place your order to the moment you submit to your university.

1

Upload Your Document and Confirm Requirements

Submit your paper through the order form and tell us: your university, your referencing style (APA, Harvard, Chicago, IEEE, MLA, or Vancouver), your word count, your submission deadline, and any specific instructions from your module handbook or supervisor. If your lecturer has given feedback on a previous draft, share those comments too — our editor will address each one directly. The more context you give at this stage, the sharper and more targeted the edit.

2

Your Editor Works Through the Document — Cover to Cover

We match you with an editor who has a postgraduate qualification in a relevant subject area. They work through every paragraph: correcting grammar, syntax, spelling, and punctuation; improving sentence clarity and paragraph flow; reducing excessive passive voice; fixing in-text citations and the reference list for your required style; and adjusting tone to match Singapore university academic register. Every change is made in tracked mode so you see exactly what was altered and can accept or query any edit individually.

3

Receive Your Corrected Paper, Reports, and Summary

We deliver three files: your fully corrected document with tracked changes accepted, a clean final version ready to paste into your submission portal, and the Turnitin similarity report alongside the Originality.ai AI detection report — both showing the actual scores, not screenshots. A one-page correction summary explains the main issues found and resolved so you understand the changes and can improve future papers. If anything needs adjusting after you review, revisions are free and unlimited.

Vetted Experts

Meet the Academic Editors Who Will Work on Your Paper

Every professional proofreader on our Singapore team holds a minimum of a Master's degree in a relevant subject. As a human proofreader service — not a software platform — we match every order by discipline: a law editor handles law papers, a business editor handles MBAs, a STEM editor handles engineering. None of our editors use AI correction tools on your work.

Every professional proofreader on our team passes a 3-stage vetting process: a subject knowledge test in their discipline, a timed proofreading exercise on a Singapore university-standard academic paper, and a review of their own postgraduate academic record. Editors are re-evaluated quarterly. We do not use freelancer platforms or general-purpose editing pools — if you are looking for proofreaders for hire who genuinely know Singapore academic standards, every person on this team was recruited specifically for this context and has been vetted to that standard.

Every Document Type Covered

Proofreading and Copy Editing Services for Every Type of Singapore University Work

From a 500-word reflective journal to an 80,000-word doctoral thesis, our proof reading and copy editing services cover the same depth of correction — matched to the conventions of your document type and your university's assessment standards. Paper proofreading, assignment proofreading, essay editing, dissertation editing — every format, every level.

Postgraduate Priority

Dissertation Proofreading Singapore

Chapter-by-chapter editing of your full dissertation — abstract, literature review, methodology, findings, discussion, conclusion, and reference list. Editors are familiar with NUS, NTU, SMU, and SUSS dissertation rubrics and the specific language expectations of your faculty. We flag structural gaps as well as language errors so supervisors receive a clean, coherent submission.

Research Level

Thesis Proofreading Singapore

PhD and Master's thesis proofreading requires a higher-order edit than standard assignment work — argument clarity, theoretical consistency, and hedging language all matter as much as grammar. Our PhD-qualified editors work on theses across faculties at NUS and NTU, and are trained to improve academic precision without altering your scholarly voice or original arguments.

Most Requested

Essay Proofreading Singapore

Undergraduate and postgraduate essays from NUS, NTU, and SMU are corrected for argument flow, topic sentence clarity, citation accuracy, and academic tone. We are familiar with NUS FASS, NUS Business School, SMU Lee Kong Chian, and NTU NBS essay conventions — so the edit is targeted to what your module examiner actually expects, not generic copyediting.

Coursework

Assignment Proofreading Singapore

From a SUSS TMA to a Kaplan coursework submission, assignment proofreading covers grammar, spelling, sentence structure, in-text citation format, and word count compliance. We check against your module guidelines and marking rubric if you share them — a standard editing pass that does not know your rubric frequently misses formatting errors that cost marks.

Business & Technical

Report Proofreading Singapore

Business reports, technical reports, case analysis reports, and lab reports are edited for professional tone, executive summary clarity, recommendation precision, and correct sectional structure. NTU and NUS engineering labs have specific formatting requirements that differ from standard academic essays — our STEM editors know these conventions and apply them correctly.

Research Writing

Research Paper Proofreading Singapore

Research papers submitted to university journals, conference proceedings, or as module assignments are edited with an eye on academic register, methodology language, in-text citation consistency, and abstract precision. We work to the specific style guide required — APA 7th, AMA, Vancouver, or IEEE — and verify every citation against its reference list entry.

NUS Law / SMU Law

Law Paper and Legal Writing Proofreading

Legal writing requires a specific editing touch — IRAC structure, OSCOLA or APA citation of cases and statutes, precise use of legal terminology, and avoidance of casual phrasing that examiners at NUS Law or SMU Yong Pung How flag immediately. Our law editors hold LLB or LLM qualifications and understand the difference between polishing legal prose and inadvertently altering its legal effect.

Postgraduate Specialist

MBA Assignment and Capstone Proofreading

MBA work at NUS Business School, SMU, SUSS, and SIM involves business case analyses, strategic management reports, and leadership reflections that must read fluently to senior-level examiners. Our business editors improve the executive register and argument structure while keeping your strategy recommendations sharp and your data analysis clearly communicated.

SIT / NTU Engineering

Technical and Engineering Proofreading Singapore

FYP reports, IWSP reflections, capstone engineering documents, and technical specifications edited by editors with engineering or computer science backgrounds. They understand the difference between active and passive voice conventions in IEEE-formatted papers, and flag figure captions, table labels, and equation referencing that general proofreaders typically overlook.

Beyond Proofread

Copy Editing Services Singapore

Copy editing sits one level above standard proofreading — it covers everything a proofread includes, plus deeper work on word choice, sentence-level restructuring for clarity, paragraph length and pacing, and consistency of terminology throughout your document. Students who need more than error correction — where sentences are correct but still hard to read — benefit most from copy editing. Our copy editing service is available for all academic document types and all Singapore universities at the same transparent per-page rates as standard proofreading.

Six-Layer Edit

Exactly What Our Professional Proofreaders Fix in Your Paper

A professional proof reading service is not a single spell-check pass. Here are the six layers our human proofreaders work through on every Singapore order — and why each one affects your grade at NUS, NTU, SMU, or any local university.

1.Grammar, Syntax, and Sentence Structure

This covers subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, modifier placement, parallel structure, and sentence fragment correction. Singapore examiners at NUS and SMU mark down papers with recurring grammatical errors even when the content is excellent — particularly in postgraduate work where the standard of written English is weighted in marking rubrics. We correct every instance, not just the obvious ones, and restructure sentences that are technically grammatical but awkward or unclear to a native reader.

2.Spelling, Punctuation, and Typography

British versus American spelling consistency is a persistent issue — Singapore universities default to British English (NUS, NTU, SMU all specify this in their style guides), but students who have studied or worked internationally often mix the two. We standardise spelling throughout, correct punctuation errors including comma splices and apostrophe misuse, and fix typographical inconsistencies in headings, bullet lists, and body text.

3.Clarity, Flow, and Paragraph Coherence

This is the layer most students cannot do for themselves — because when you wrote the paper, the argument was clear in your head. Our editors read your work cold, identify where the logic jumps without signposting, where paragraphs change topic mid-way, where a topic sentence does not match the paragraph that follows, and where transitions between sections are abrupt. These are the issues that produce examiner comments like "unclear argument" or "poor structure" — and they are fully fixable at the editing stage.

4.Referencing and Citation Accuracy

We check every in-text citation against the reference list and verify format compliance with your required style. For APA 7th — the standard at SUSS and most NUS faculties — this means checking author-date format, DOI presentation, and hanging indent formatting. For Harvard, we verify publisher details and edition numbers. For IEEE at NTU Engineering, we check numbered citation sequencing and journal abbreviation style. Mixed citation formats within a single paper are one of the most common causes of marks being deducted for referencing.

5.Academic Tone and Register

Academic writing in Singapore universities is formal, objective, and hedged — meaning it uses language like "this may suggest" rather than "this proves." Over-assertive language, colloquial phrases, first-person overuse in disciplines where it is not standard, and informal contractions all lower examiner perception of academic maturity. Our editors calibrate tone to the discipline: law papers need precision and directness; management papers need professional fluency; science papers need objective, impersonal reporting.

6.Formatting Consistency and Word Count Compliance

Heading hierarchy, font consistency, line spacing, margin settings, page numbering, appendix labelling, figure and table captions — these formatting details are specified in most Singapore university module handbooks and carry marks. We check your document against standard university formatting requirements and flag any discrepancies. If you have shared your module handbook or submission guidelines, we verify every formatting element against those specific instructions.

We Understand You

Proofreading Built for Working Adults and Part-Time Students in Singapore

Most of our proofreading clients at SUSS, SIM, Kaplan, and JCU Singapore are full-time professionals — they write their assignments in evenings and weekends, and they do not have time to do a thorough final edit themselves before the 23:59 submission deadline.

Stay in Control

Track Changes So You See Every Edit Made

Unlike a rewrite, proofreading with tracked changes means the document is still entirely yours — you can see every correction, accept or reject any change, and understand what was wrong. This matters for working adults at SUSS and SIM who need to learn from the feedback as well as submit a cleaner paper. The correction summary we include explains recurring patterns in plain language.

Your Schedule

Submit Your Paper at 11pm — Receive It Back by Morning

Our Singapore team operates across extended hours to accommodate working adult submission windows. If you send your assignment at 10pm for a next-day deadline, we work through the night on express orders. This is not a premium upsell — it is simply how we operate for students balancing full-time jobs with evening and weekend study at SUSS, SIM, Kaplan, or PSB.

Industry Relevance

Theory-to-Practice Language That Impresses SUSS Markers

SUSS examiners in applied business and social work programmes specifically reward the connection between academic theory and industry practice. Our editors are trained to identify where your applied experience is underplayed in the writing and suggest language that frames your professional insights in academic terms — without distorting what you actually meant to say.

Correct Standards

SUSS, SIM, Kaplan, and MDIS Formatting Requirements

Private university students writing under UOL, Murdoch, RMIT, or University of Birmingham standards often face awarding body guidelines that differ from local NUS or NTU conventions. Our editors hold the specific formatting and referencing requirements for each awarding body and apply them accurately — so your paper is not failed for formatting reasons that had nothing to do with your content quality.

Last Minute

Urgent 24–48 Hour Proofreading Available

Express proofreading is available for documents up to 8,000 words within 24 hours, and up to 15,000 words within 48 hours. Longer dissertations and theses have a minimum turnaround of 72 hours to allow proper coverage at chapter level. Tell us your deadline in the order form and we will confirm availability immediately — we never accept orders we cannot deliver on time.

Confidential

Full Confidentiality — Your Details Are Never Stored or Shared

We sign a standard NDA on request. Your name, student number, university, and document content are used solely to complete your order and are deleted from our systems after delivery. We do not retain samples of your work for marketing purposes, and we have never shared student data with any university in Singapore. Multiple repeat users at NUS, NTU, and SUSS have used our service across their entire programme of study.

Local Expertise

University-Specific Proofreading for Every Singapore Institution — 2026

Each Singapore university has distinct language expectations, referencing standards, and marking conventions — we do not apply a one-size-fits-all edit. Here is what we do differently for each institution.

NUS

NUS Proofreading — National University of Singapore

NUS faculties differ significantly in their writing conventions. NUS Business School (NBS) uses Harvard referencing and expects formal executive register in management papers. NUS Law uses APA or OSCOLA depending on the module. NUS FASS has detailed style guides by department. Our NUS proof reading service verifies your specific faculty's handbook, checks compliance with LumiNUS or Canvas submission format requirements, and corrects language to the standard expected by NUS examiners who assess thousands of papers annually and distinguish immediately between polished and unpolished academic writing.

See our NUS assignment help page →

NTU

Nanyang Technological University (NTU)

NTU has strict anti-plagiarism policies and runs all submissions through Turnitin — our proofread includes a Turnitin check to verify similarity scores before you submit. NTU Nanyang Business School (NBS) uses Harvard, while NTU College of Engineering programmes use IEEE — we apply the correct style per faculty. NTU's DR-NTU institutional repository is available for postgraduate submissions, and our editors check thesis formatting against the NTU Graduate Studies requirements for font, margin, and chapter structure.

See our NTU assignment help page →

SMU

Singapore Management University (SMU)

SMU's case-based teaching model means most assessments involve applied business analysis rather than pure academic essays. Examiners at SMU Lee Kong Chian School of Business expect recommendations that go beyond literature summary — they want strategic depth. Our editors improve the clarity of your strategic arguments, verify Chicago or APA citation style per your school's requirement, and ensure your executive summary and recommendation sections meet the depth standard SMU markers reward with higher grades.

See our SMU assignment help page →

SUSS

Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS)

SUSS is Singapore's applied learning university, and most students are working adults undertaking part-time study in business, social work, counselling, or education. SUSS uses APA 7th throughout and rewards papers that explicitly connect theory to practice — a language calibration our editors are specifically trained to apply. We have edited tutor-marked assignments (TMAs), end-of-course assessments (ECAs), and dissertations for SUSS students across more than 40 programmes.

See our SUSS assignment help page →

SIT

Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT)

SIT students come from polytechnic pathways and are transitioning into degree-level academic writing — a significant language register shift that many find challenging. The IWSP (Integrated Work Study Programme) reflective reports and degree capstone projects require a standard of academic writing that is often higher than what students produced at polytechnic level. Our editors understand this transition and calibrate their corrections to help students meet SIT's degree-level language expectations, not just fix surface errors.

See our SIT assignment help page →

Private Universities

SIM / Kaplan / MDIS / JCU Singapore

Students at SIM (University of London, RMIT), Kaplan (Glasgow, Leeds), MDIS (Northumbria, Cardiff), and JCU Singapore are assessed against the standards of their overseas awarding university — not Singapore local conventions. This means referencing styles, word count conventions, and formatting requirements may differ significantly from NUS or NTU. Our editors hold the awarding body guidelines for each of these partnerships and apply them correctly.

What Singapore Students Say About Our Proofreading Service

These are real messages and reviews from NUS, NTU, SMU, SUSS, and SIM students — many of whom now use our proofreading service for every major submission in their programme.

★★★★★

"My NTU dissertation came back with beautiful tracked changes — every passive voice sentence had been restructured and my IEEE citations were all corrected. My supervisor said it was the cleanest draft he had seen from a final-year student. Turnitin came back at 4%."

CL
Chen Li, ClementiNTU College of Engineering
★★★★★

"I am from China and English is not my first language. My NUS Business essay used to get comments like 'unclear argument' and 'poor sentence construction.' After using this proofreading service twice, my grades went from B- to A-. The editor kept my ideas but made them read properly."

XW
Xiao Wei, BishanNUS Business School
★★★★★

"I used the 24-hour express service the night before my SMU capstone submission. I sent the document at 10pm and had a clean proofread copy by 6am. The editor had caught three Harvard citation errors that would have cost me referencing marks. Absolutely saved my grade."

TN
Tan Nadia, TampinesSMU Lee Kong Chian School of Business
★★★★★

"My PhD supervisor at NUS kept saying my writing was technically correct but lacked academic maturity. After one session with the proofreading team here, she told me the latest chapter read like a different writer. The hedging language and paragraph signposting were completely transformed."

Human Proofreading Service vs Tools — Why Singapore Students Choose Us Over Every Other Option

Grammarly, MS Word spell-check, ChatGPT, and generic offshore editing platforms all fall short of what Singapore university examiners actually need. Here is an honest comparison of our human proofreader service against every alternative.

We deliver a human-edited, university-standard academic document — with Turnitin and Originality.ai reports included.

Every edit is done by a postgraduate-qualified Singapore-trained editor who knows your university's specific requirements — not software, not a freelancer who edits anything and everything.

Editors With Postgraduate Degrees in Your Subject Area

Every editor holds a minimum Master's degree — most hold PhDs — in a discipline relevant to the work they edit. A nursing proofreader is not editing finance papers. A law editor is not correcting engineering reports. This discipline match means the editor understands the technical vocabulary, citation conventions, and examiner expectations specific to your subject — and the edit reflects that depth, not just surface correction.

Post-Delivery Support — Including Supervisor Feedback Revisions

Our service does not end at delivery. If your supervisor returns the proofread paper with further language comments, send those comments to us and we will address them in a free revision pass. There is no time limit on this — students who submitted months ago still contact us when a revised chapter needs a fresh edit. We treat every order as the beginning of a relationship, not a one-off transaction.

Expert Insight

6 Proofreading Mistakes Singapore Students Keep Making in 2026

These are the errors examiners at NUS, NTU, and SMU flag most often in their written feedback — and all of them are fully preventable with a proper professional proofread before submission.

1

Relying on Grammarly or MS Word as a Final Check

Both tools catch obvious errors — misspellings, basic grammar violations — but neither understands academic register, Singapore university referencing conventions, or the difference between a technically correct sentence and one that reads awkwardly to a marker. Grammarly's "corrections" frequently introduce new errors in formal academic writing. MS Word grammar checks flag passive voice inconsistently and cannot evaluate argument clarity or paragraph coherence. Students who use these tools as their only proofread regularly lose marks on language that slipped through undetected.

2

Mixing British and American Spelling Throughout the Document

NUS, NTU, and SMU all require British English — "analyse" not "analyze," "organisation" not "organization," "colour" not "color." Students who have studied internationally, spent time on US-published research, or use US-default autocorrect frequently mix the two conventions within a single paper. Examiners notice this immediately and it signals careless preparation — particularly in postgraduate work where the written submission standard is explicitly assessed as part of the grade.

3

Using AI-Generated Paragraphs That Now Flag on Turnitin in 2026

As of 2026, Turnitin's AI writing detection is integrated into NUS and NTU submission portals by default. SMU and SUSS are using Originality.ai as a supplementary check. Paragraphs generated by ChatGPT, Gemini, or Copilot — even if lightly edited — often retain statistical patterns that flag above the 20% AI threshold. We run your document through both detection tools before you submit and, if any section flags, we advise on how to rephrase it in genuinely human language. We never use AI tools in our own editing work.

4

Inconsistent Referencing Format Within the Same Paper

This is the most penalised referencing error in Singapore university marking. Students switch between referencing styles mid-paper — using author-date in one paragraph and footnotes in another — or apply the same style inconsistently (e.g. sometimes including accessed dates for URLs, sometimes not). NUS Business School, NTU NBS, and SMU all specify their required referencing style by faculty in the module handbook. We verify every citation and reference list entry against your required style and correct every inconsistency.

5

Submitting the First Complete Draft Without a Cold Read

The most common issue in student proofreading is reading what you intended to write rather than what is actually on the page. Students who proofread their own work immediately after writing catch far fewer errors than those who wait 24 hours — because familiarity with the content causes the brain to autocorrect errors subconsciously. Most students do not have the time to sit on a draft for a day before submitting. A professional proofreader reads your work cold every single time, which is why a professional edit catches what self-editing misses.

6

Over-Using Passive Voice in Disciplines That Penalise It

Passive voice is appropriate in some contexts — scientific methods sections, for example — but in management essays, law papers, and most business writing at NUS and SMU, excessive passive voice reduces clarity and weakens the argument. Markers at SMU Lee Kong Chian and NUS NBS frequently comment on this in written feedback. Our editors convert passive constructions to active throughout your paper where appropriate, retaining passive voice in sections where discipline convention requires it (e.g. lab report methodology) and converting it where it weakens your academic argument.

The Complete Package

Everything Included in Our Proofreading Service Singapore

Every order is a complete package — there are no paid extras or upsells. What you see below is what every student receives regardless of order size or academic level.

Full Document Edit With Tracked Changes

Every correction is visible in tracked-changes mode so you can review, accept, or query any edit before you finalise the document. You receive both the tracked-changes file and a clean accepted copy — ready to paste directly into your LumiNUS, Canvas, or ePlag submission portal. Nothing is changed without you being able to see it.

Turnitin + Originality.ai Dual Detection Reports

Both reports are included with every order — you receive the actual PDF reports, not screenshots. In 2026, Singapore universities use multiple detection layers, and providing both reports means you submit with complete confidence. If either report shows a concern, we advise on the specific flagged section before you finalise.

Reference List and In-Text Citation Check

Every in-text citation is verified against the reference list and both are checked for compliance with your required style: APA 7th, Harvard, Chicago 17th, IEEE, MLA, OSCOLA, Vancouver, or your module's specific handbook. Mixed styles, missing entries, incorrect date formats, and broken DOI links are all corrected as standard.

Unlimited Post-Delivery Revisions

If your supervisor or examiner provides language feedback after submission, or if you want to revisit any section of the edited document, revisions are free and unlimited. Send the feedback comments directly and your original editor — not a new person — addresses each point in a revision pass. There is no time limit on this guarantee.

Editor's Correction Summary

A one-page plain-language summary of the main issues found, patterns corrected, and any sections that needed structural attention. This is genuinely useful for students who want to improve their writing across future papers — it tells you not just what was fixed but why it was wrong and what the correct approach looks like in your discipline.

Section-by-Section Proofreading Option

You do not have to send the entire document. We can proofread a specific chapter, your abstract, your literature review, your discussion section, or your conclusion as a standalone order. Section pricing is proportional to word count — so if your introduction and conclusion are the only parts that need attention, you pay only for those sections, not the full paper.

Your Questions, Answered

Frequently Asked Questions About Proofreading Services in Singapore 2026

Honest, specific answers to the questions Singapore students ask most often before placing their first order — no vague reassurances.

+Can someone proofread my assignment in Singapore within 24 hours?
Yes — we offer 24-hour express proofreading for documents up to approximately 8,000 words. For longer assignments (8,000–15,000 words), our minimum urgent turnaround is 48 hours. Dissertations above 15,000 words require a minimum of 72 hours to allow chapter-level coverage rather than a surface-only pass. Tell us your exact submission deadline in the order form — if we cannot meet it safely, we will tell you immediately rather than accept the order and under-deliver. Most 24-hour orders start within one hour of payment confirmation during active hours.
+Will my proofread document pass Turnitin and AI detection at NUS, NTU, or SMU?
We include both a Turnitin similarity report and an Originality.ai AI detection report with every order. Proofreading does not introduce new content — it corrects and improves what you have already written — so your similarity score will not increase from the editing process. If anything, improving paraphrasing precision sometimes lowers similarity slightly. On AI detection: our editors use zero AI tools in their work, so no new AI-generated content enters your document. If you used AI in your original draft and are concerned about flagging, tell us and we will run the detection tool before editing begins so you know the current score.
+What is the difference between copy editing and proofreading in Singapore?
Proofreading focuses on correcting errors in a near-final document — grammar, spelling, punctuation, citation format, sentence clarity, and tone. Copy editing goes a step further: it includes everything in a proofread plus deeper work on word choice, sentence restructuring for readability, paragraph flow and pacing, and internal consistency of terminology throughout the document. Most undergraduate assignments need proofreading. Dissertations, theses, and longer postgraduate work often benefit from copy editing — particularly where the content is strong but the writing still feels dense or difficult to follow. If you are unsure which level your document needs, share it and we will assess it and quote for the appropriate service before you pay.
+How do I hire a proofreader online in Singapore?
To hire a professional proofreader from our Singapore team, submit your document via the order form on this page. Tell us your university, document type, word count, required citation style, and deadline — and we match you with a subject-specialist human proofreader within the hour on most orders. You do not need to browse profiles, negotiate rates, or manage a freelancer relationship. The entire process — from submission to delivered corrected copy — is handled by our team. Rates start from S$15 per page with a free quote before you commit. Unlike general freelance platforms, every proofreader we assign has been vetted specifically for Singapore university academic standards.
+What is the difference between proofreading and editing? Which one do I need?
Proofreading corrects errors in a near-final document — grammar, spelling, punctuation, citation format, tone, and clarity. It does not restructure arguments, rewrite sections, or add new content. Editing (sometimes called substantive or developmental editing) involves deeper changes — reorganising paragraphs, strengthening arguments, expanding thin sections, and rebuilding weak structures. If your content and structure are solid and you need language-level correction, you need proofreading. If your supervisor or lecturer has said your argument is weak, your analysis is thin, or your structure is unclear, you likely need editing or writing support. If you are unsure, send us the document and we will advise you honestly on which level of service is appropriate before you pay.
+What if I need revisions after my supervisor gives feedback on my proofread paper?
Supervisor feedback revisions are free and covered under our unlimited revision guarantee. Send us the supervisor's exact written comments or a photo of the margin notes, and your original editor — not someone new — will address each point directly. There is no time limit on this: if your supervisor reviewed your paper three months after we delivered the proofread copy and has language comments, the revision is still free. This is especially important for dissertations and theses where multiple supervisor review rounds are normal.
+How do I pay, and is it safe?
Payment is made securely online in Singapore dollars (SGD) through our encrypted payment gateway. Card details are processed by a PCI-DSS compliant payment processor and are never stored on our systems. You receive an immediate payment confirmation by email. We do not accept bank transfers, cash, PayNow, or instalment payments. If you want to see the price before committing, request a free quote first — the price is locked in before you pay, with no hidden fees added at checkout.
+Is using a proofreading service allowed at NUS, NTU, and SMU?
Proofreading — where a professional editor corrects language errors without altering your arguments or adding new content — is widely accepted at Singapore universities and internationally. NUS, NTU, and SMU all distinguish in their academic integrity policies between proofreading (permitted) and ghostwriting (not permitted). Our service is proofreading: we correct what you have written, not write it for you. If your university or module handbook has specific language about editing assistance, share it with us and we will confirm whether our service falls within those guidelines for your specific case.
+Is your proofreading service confidential?
Yes. Your name, student number, university, and document content are used solely to complete your order. No student data is retained after delivery. We have never shared client information with any Singapore university or third party. We sign a standard non-disclosure agreement on request. Multiple clients have used our service across their entire programme of study at NUS, SUSS, and SIM without issue — some for three or more consecutive years.
+Is proofreading affordable for Singapore students?
Our proofreading rates start from S$15 per page for diploma-level work, which for a typical 2,500-word undergraduate essay works out to approximately S$45–S$65 for a full standard-turnaround proofread including both plagiarism reports. Section-by-section pricing is available if you only need one chapter or your abstract corrected. We also offer a first-order student discount — ask about this when you submit your requirements. Request a free quote with no obligation to see the exact price before you commit.
+Can you proofread just one section — for example, only my literature review or conclusion?
Yes — section-only orders are available and priced proportionally by word count. We regularly proofread standalone abstracts (typically 300–500 words), individual dissertation chapters, executive summaries, and conclusions. If you want us to check only your introduction and reference list, that is a valid order. Tell us the specific sections and word counts in the order form and we will give you a quote for those sections only.
+How is professional proofreading different from running my paper through ChatGPT in 2026?
ChatGPT cannot proofread effectively for four reasons: it does not know your university's specific referencing style requirements; it frequently introduces confident-sounding errors when correcting academic writing; any text it touches can flag on AI detection tools — meaning your proofread paper could fail an AI check even if your original was clean; and it cannot check your Turnitin similarity score or provide an Originality.ai report. Our editors are human, hold postgraduate qualifications in your discipline, know Singapore university conventions specifically, and deliver real plagiarism and AI detection reports. The edit is better in every dimension, and the submission documentation is complete.
+Can you proofread an NUS Business School or SMU Lee Kong Chian assignment specifically?
Yes — and this is where having discipline-specific editors matters most. NUS Business School uses Harvard referencing and expects a formal executive register in management and strategy papers. SMU Lee Kong Chian School of Business uses Chicago or APA depending on the module and rewards recommendations that demonstrate genuine strategic depth rather than summary. We have editors who are familiar specifically with these two schools' assessment expectations — not just business writing in general. Share your module name and assignment brief in the order form and we will assign the editor with the closest matching background.
+What is the difference between proofreading for an MSc and for an MBA at SUSS or SIM?
MSc dissertations and assignments are primarily research-focused — the edit concentrates on methodology language precision, hedging and academic voice, citation accuracy, and APA 7th compliance. MBA work is more applied — business case analyses, leadership reflections, strategic management reports — and the edit focuses on executive register, recommendation clarity, and the practical-to-theoretical connection that SUSS and SIM MBA examiners reward. Tell us whether your programme is research-track or applied-track when you order and we will assign accordingly.
