Hello, I provide a proofreading service and have over 8 years' experience in this. I have qualifications BA English, MA Poetry and a PGCE.

My friend couldn't read or write. I wanted someone who was gentle and understanding. Darren was just that person. We could soon see my friend's confidence growing as she was able to do things that were not possible before - such as going go to the bank and understanding her grandchildren's reading books. After 12 months with Darren she can now participate in life ways she never could before. I would recommend Darren to anyone. He finds different ways to achieve results and is easy to connect with.

I was struggling with my dissertation . Darren worked tirelessly to ensure that it ended up with the right content being left and above all that it made sense. I cannot rate him highly enough. Getting hold of Darren was one of the best things I ever did. He was very kind, honest and realistic. He exceeded my expectations and managed to make the situation enjoyable and cost effective. He has a wide variety of skills which allow him to appeal to anyone with their English writing. I recommend him to anyone.

Darren was my tutor for over 12 months. During our first meeting he thoroughly assessed my needs in English then prepared his teaching plan tailored to my imperfection which was presented during the second lesson and was executed thereafter.

Darren was always punctual and arrived with a very interesting plan for each lesson. Therefore my time spent working with him was not only profitable but pleasant as well. In addition I have to recommend Darren as a very diligent and trustworthy proofreader.

Darren tutored my son from year eight through to year 11. My son was attending a failing school which ended up in special measures and he was one of the small minority to achieve 2 GCSEs in English. I found Darren's teaching to be constant and solid, and he was always very reliable and professional with an approachable manner. I was happy to have Darren in our home, and would highly recommend him.
