Why ETH Zurich students need professional editing
35% international. 100% expected to write like a native.
ETH Zurich is one of the most demanding universities in the world. For the 7,350+ international students enrolled here, writing academic English at the standard the university expects — in a language that isn't their mother tongue — is a genuine challenge. Our online professional proofreading service was built for exactly this.
Whether you're a German-speaking Swiss student writing your first physics report in English, an Indian or Chinese student navigating the STEM-heavy ETH curriculum, or an exchange student whose Master's thesis needs to meet ETH Zurich's publication standards — your English writing shouldn't be the thing that limits your academic outcome.
Professional English editing from proofreadingservice.ch gives ETH students the same written English advantage that native speakers have automatically. Your ideas stay exactly as you wrote them. The language around them simply becomes what your examiner expects.

Editing in action — ETH Zurich example
What professional ETH proofreading looks like
A real example from an ETH Zurich computational physics report. Every change tracked. Every correction explained. This is what human, AI-free academic editing delivers for ETH students.
Before: original student draft
"In this experiment we have tried to show that the numerical simulation gives similar results like the analytical solution. As we can see from Figure 3, the differences between both are very small. This means that our simulation model works good and can be used for more complex systems which are harder to solve analytically."
After: professionally edited
"This experiment was designed to verify that the numerical simulation produces results consistent with the analytical solution. As illustrated in Figure 3, the discrepancy between the two approaches is negligible. These findings confirm that the simulation model performs accurately and is suitable for application to more complex systems that are analytically intractable."
First-person informal removed. Passive voice is correct in ETH physics report results sections. "Verify" is more precise than "show" in scientific methodology.
German-influenced understatement ("very small") replaced with precise scientific language. "Negligible" is the exact quantitative term used in computational physics.
German relative clause structure removed. "Analytically intractable" is the correct technical term in computational physics — a specialist editor knows this; a general proofreader doesn't.
Adjective/adverb error ("good" vs "well") corrected and vocabulary upgraded simultaneously. This is the type of error that immediately signals a non-native writer to an ETH examiner.
Why ETH students choose human proofreading over AI tools
A STEM-qualified proofreader knows that "analytically intractable" is the correct term in computational physics — not "hard to solve analytically." Generic AI tools apply general English rules, not discipline-specific vocabulary.
Our professional ETH editors specifically look for the German transfer errors that appear in ETH student writing — relative clause structures, verb placement, and nominalisations that an AI autocorrector doesn't identify as non-native.
We've edited thousands of ETH Zurich documents across physics, engineering, CS, mathematics, and biology. Our editors know what ETH professors expect — because they've seen what gets flagged and what doesn't.
You don't just receive a corrected document — you receive an education. Our tracked-change comments explain why each significant correction was made, so you write better in your next ETH submission.
