Proofreading educational books
Do you publish primary or secondary textbooks?
Do you need a proofreader?
I have vast experience in primary education. A primary classroom teacher for 30 years, I am currently a 1-1 private tutor. I continue to experience education at first hand.
When tutoring, I specifically boost the self-esteem of lower-achieving children. I raise standards in ability for SATs at Key Stage 1 and 2.
When proofreading, I check for errors and inconsistencies in paper and digital publications for the classroom. I am familiar with the National Curriculum for the Core and Foundation Subjects.
Immersed in planning resources, marking schemes, and, by following the recommendations of educational consultants on-line, I know the expectations in teaching and learning.
