A contract is issued and a £35 deposit to cover the first 2 hours of work is to be paid in advance please. This secures the work for the student and myself.

Please do approach me with your personal requirements, and I will endeavour to meet them accordingly.

I am thinking of doing a Masters and would love if you could proof read for me again! Hope you would take me on! You have been so awesome and patient thank you!!!
My review:
I am a British undergraduate student at Cardiff university studying religion and Archaeology in my 3rd year. Writing essays can be stressful and tiring especially when you have a few deadlines lined up, however Barbara has been Amazing! II say this with such happiness she has helped me sooooo much in my 3rd year and I truly have seen a difference in my essay writing skills. She is also very organised and patient, there have been times were I have sent my work a day before the deadline!
