I am an American, a native speaker. I am well educated, I was a nurse until I was 30 then I took a degree in electronics engineering. I worked as a technical writer for a software firm for about a year. I worked with English major editors writing the user manuals. I have been in Turkey since 2008. I took a certificate for Teaching English as a Second Language. TESOL and a second one for teaching business English. (It is the only job I am allowed to do here) - I am fast and able to many kinds of proof-reading. Phd thesis, mission statement, cover letter for a job, technical writing, text books. I can use the correct "voice" (level of english) I would like to know the type of documents I would be proofreading for you. If it is for higher education and I refer to AMA style guide for example I would require more money. If it is a website directed at the average person. 500 words might only take me 15 minutes in which case $2 is enough. Thank you for your invitation to work with you. I look forward to hearing more information about this job. Mary Tsolak
