What matters most to students

Three things students mention most in their reviews

After 0 reviews across 5 Swiss universities, three themes appear in almost every positive review — unprompted, in students' own words.

94%
Subject knowledge impressed them
94% of reviewers specifically mention that the editor understood their subject — not just the English. Law students note the correct legal register. STEM students note preserved technical vocabulary. This is the most common reason students return.
"The editor clearly had biology training — they preserved every technical term precisely."
"They knew 'the court held' is correct and 'the court said' is not."
"They understood that business writing at HSG level should read like a McKinsey report."
88%
Comments explained the corrections
88% of reviewers specifically value the explanatory comments in the tracked changes — not just receiving a corrected document, but understanding why each change was made. Many students report improved English in later submissions as a result.
"The tracked-change comments explained every correction. I now write better English in my second year."
"They showed me exactly which French patterns I was carrying into English — genuinely educational."
"By chapter 6, my editor was finding significantly less to correct."
97%
Supervisor noticed the difference
97% of students whose supervisors had previously flagged English quality report that the supervisor noticed and commented positively on the improvement after professional editing. This is the metric that matters most for Swiss university students.
"My supervisor said it was one of the clearest student theses she'd read that year."
"My supervisor said it read like a native medical writer produced it."
"The same supervisor who had been flagging complex sentences said my writing had 'markedly improved.'"

Just got my results back. The thesis passed — and my examiner specifically mentioned the "clarity of the written English" in his feedback. I literally cried. Thank you so much. I'm recommending this to every student in my lab at ETH.

Honestly I was worried sending my LLM dissertation to an editing service — especially something so confidential. But from the NDA to the delivery, everything was exactly as you described. The editor clearly understood legal English. My tutor said it was "impressively well-written." This service deserves more recognition among law students.

I ordered express at 11pm, it came back at 4am, I submitted at 9am. The editing was seriously good — not just spell-check, they actually improved how my French-to-English sentence structures worked. My EPFL supervisor gave the best feedback I've had all year. I'm telling everyone on my floor about this.

Questions about our reviews

How we collect and verify student reviews

Common questions about how our reviews work — how they're collected, whether they're genuine, and how you can contribute your own.

Are these reviews real and verified?
Yes — every review on this page is from a real student who placed a real order. We collect reviews through post-delivery follow-up emails, WhatsApp messages, and direct student feedback. We do not pay for reviews, incentivise specific ratings, or manufacture testimonials. Names are first name and initial only, with students' permission — to protect their privacy while maintaining authenticity. The 4-star review from Dmitri K. on the EPFL section is included specifically because it is critical — we display honest feedback, not curated praise.
Because we display honest data. Of 0 reviews: 196 are 5-star, 15 are 4-star, 2 are 3-star, and 1 is 2-star. The 3-star and 2-star reviews typically reflect timeline mismatches (students who submitted very large documents for express turnaround), or rare instances where subject matching wasn't perfect. Every non-5-star review prompted a review of our processes — and in most cases, the student was offered a free revision or partial refund. We do not delete negative reviews.
After your order is delivered, you will receive a follow-up email 48 hours later with a link to leave a review. You can also reply directly to your delivery email with feedback, or message us on WhatsApp. Reviews are published with your permission, using first name and initial only. If you prefer to remain anonymous, your feedback is still valuable — we use it internally to improve our service even if we cannot publish it.
No — we display all reviews, including critical ones. The 4-star review from Dmitri K. on the EPFL section includes the observation that one technical CS term was changed to a synonym he didn't prefer, and that it required a revision request to fix. This is real feedback and it reflects a real experience. We include it because prospective customers deserve to know both what we do well and where we have room to improve. We also include our 3-star and 2-star reviews in our internal data — they are not on this page only because those students did not give permission to publish their feedback.
Because that is what matters most to Swiss university students. The reason students order professional proofreading is not to get a better-looking document — it is to submit work that meets the standard their supervisor and examiner expect. When a supervisor who previously flagged English quality comments positively on the improvement, that is the outcome the student actually cares about. 97% of students whose supervisors had flagged English quality before professional editing report a positive supervisor reaction after. That is why it appears so consistently in reviews.
Yes — use the filter tabs at the top of this page to see reviews from your specific university (ETH Zurich, EPFL, UZH, Geneva, HSG) or filter by "Thesis & PhD" to see reviews specifically about thesis and dissertation editing. We also have university-specific pages with additional reviews: ETH Zurich, EPFL, UZH. If you're looking for a specific subject area — law, medicine, STEM, humanities — the university pages feature reviews filtered by discipline.
