About Us
At Academic English, we believe that brilliant ideas deserve brilliant communication.
We provide specialist academic editing, proofreading and language support for researchers, academics, postgraduate students, and professionals who want their writing to read clearly, confidently, and naturally in English.
Whether you are preparing a journal article, thesis, dissertation, grant application, conference paper, research proposal, or professional report, we help ensure your work is polished, professional, and publication-ready - while still sounding like you.
We can also provide model essays, written to answer your specific essay question. These are professional academic essays, which are fully and correctly referenced, and will provide an example of a high-quality, top-scoring essay in answer to your specific essay question.
Our approach
Academic writing can be complex, technical and demanding. For many researchers - particularly those writing in English as a second or additional language - communicating ideas clearly and naturally can become a major barrier to publication and academic success.
That is where we come in.
We do far more than correct grammar and spelling. We refine clarity, improve flow, strengthen structure, and help your writing read like it was written by a native English-speaking academic.
Our aim is simple:
- Clearer communication
- Stronger academic writing
- Greater confidence in submission

What makes us different
Academic English was founded by a team of PhD-qualified senior academics, researchers, and scientific professionals with extensive experience across higher education, research, and academic publishing.
Collectively, our team has authored several hundred peer-reviewed publications across a wide range of disciplines, including papers published in high-impact, international journals. We also have substantial experience working as journal reviewers, editorial board members, and journal editors, giving us an in-depth understanding of the academic publishing process from both the author and reviewer perspectives.
We understand what makes a manuscript clear, compelling, and publication-ready, and just as importantly, we understand the common issues that lead to rejection. This insider knowledge allows us to help researchers strengthen their writing, improve clarity and impact, and communicate their work to the highest academic standard.
We understand:
- The pressures of academic publishing
- The importance of maintaining your academic voice
- The expectations of reviewers, journals, and supervisors
- The challenges faced by multilingual researchers
We combine academic expertise with meticulous attention to detail, delivering editing that is thoughtful, accurate and supportive.
