Not only a fantastic proof-reader, but also a good human being!

An excellent proof-reader, as well as a wonderful person. Gerard helped me when I was badly in need of help. I was very sick while I was writing my dissertation and he understood my condition and even proof-readed my dissertation while he was on vacation. I will never forget the way Gerard helped me out. He is very fast and honest. I will remain ever grateful to you, Gerard.
Wish you all the best!

Great work, thanks a lot!

GH has proofread most of my texts - and I hope he will also do so in the future. He is a very careful reader, makes a lot of suggestions and quickly answers any subsequent questions. I can only recommend him.

Excellent proofreading, return work on time and a great person.

I have been dealing with Mr. Hearne since 2012 and frankly he is the most reliable and qualified person I've ever worked with.

For several times, he returned my work on time and frequently in time. He also provided a file that shows the mistakes I made during writing the assignment and how he corrected them perfectly. All his comments and correction are clear therefore I extremely rely on him to proofread my assignments. Besides, all my assignments got very high marks (in grammar and spelling section).

Finally, I always recommend Mr. Hearne to many friends because I trust him and trust his proofreading.

Huge respect to you Gerard and thanks a lot

Best Regards

Fast, Trustworthy and High Quality Proofreader

I have been using Gerrard's proofreading service since my master degree study and I am now in the final year of my PhD. For all these years, Gerard always delivers very quick, high-quality and very neat work which is very helpful for me as a non-native English speaker who engages in a legal-theory research.

Good quality and fast service

My friend recommended Gerard to proofread an important document to me. He is fantastic, he really provides Good quality and fast service. I ordered for 50 pages (12,000 words) and got it back within three days. I am very pleased especially about the changes being made regarding the use of article and punctuations. Not only that, he is a nice man; we met on campus and had a lovely chat. I will definitely do not hesitate to contact him again.

The best proof editor

I am doing PhD and this is my third year, i worked with four proof editors, without any doubt, this is the best proof editor that i have ever worked with. His English grammar, the academic writing, the style of rewording and rewriting the sentences are really perfect, and sending the work on time. I recommended him to my friends and no one has any problems with him.

Best spent money ever!

When I look at Gerard’s proofreading of my work I realize that is my best spent money. His detailed work (not to mention speed) is amazing and it covers much more than English writing. I thank professionals like him exist.
