Students.


Get the grades you deserve.

You’ve got plenty of great ideas and invested a lot of time researching and writing them up—that we know. But we also understand how difficult it can be to express yourself clearly and confidently when English isn’t your first language. Too often, ESL writers are judged for their English language skills rather than their knowledge of a given subject or topic.

Love Words Editing can help fix that.

Because we understand the specific issues that non-native English speakers struggle with—things like article use, correct tense and wordiness—our specialist editors will ensure your writing is free of grammar, spelling and punctuation errors. We will significantly improve your writing to make your sentences clear and concise, and your paragraphs flow smoothly. As a bonus, you’ll get detailed feedback to help you improve your writing skills for the future!
