How The Student Mentor Works
No mystery, no black box. Here is exactly what happens from the moment you send your document to the moment you accept the final tracked change.
Five Clear Steps From Draft to Delivery
Every project follows the same transparent workflow — you always know what stage your work is at, who is reviewing it, and what you will receive back.

Upload your draft with your deadline, referencing style, university (optional) and any specific concerns. Two minutes, no account needed.
Receive a fixed quote
We confirm scope (proofreading, editing, formatting or mentoring), price and turnaround. The price you accept is the price you pay.
Expert matching
Your document goes to an editor or mentor with a background in your discipline. PhD theses and technical documents are matched to postgraduate-qualified specialists.
Tracked-changes feedback
Every correction appears as a tracked change with marginal comments explaining the reasoning. You accept, reject or query each one.
Quality check & delivery
A senior reviewer checks consistency before delivery. You receive the marked-up version and a clean version, plus 7 days of free clarification.
After Delivery
Questions about a comment? Reply within 7 days at no cost. Documents are stored securely and deleted on request. If your university asks you to declare proofreading assistance, we'll provide a scope statement describing exactly what was and wasn't changed.
