ESL

Regardless of the ESL services you are seeking (whether it be a Skype chat focusing on conversation, or an in-person grammar lesson), my hourly charge for these is the same: $30/hr.

This rate includes my preparation time and, if necessary, reasonable travel time within the Vancouver area. Please keep in mind that I have a 12-hour cancellation policy.

If you wish to have regular/weekly lessons, you must pre-pay for a minimum of 5 classes. This guarantees that both you and I will be there each and every time.

SPECIAL OFFERS:

Pre-pay for 5 classes, pay only $140 (save $10!)

Pre-pay for 10 classes, pay only $270 (save $30!)

Editing

Unlike many other websites that provide similar editing services, I do not charge per page. After six years of editing, I simply feel that this is the fairest approach because while some papers only require minor touchups and corrections before they are ready to be submitted, others need extensive work to be clear, grammatically correct, and properly formatted. Therefore, it doesn't seem very fair for me to charge $6 for a page that took 15 minutes to edit and $6 for a page that only took 3 minutes to edit.

Instead, what I do is I load your project into Microsoft Word (or whatever format you sent it in), record the current time, and begin editing. The very moment I am finished, I record the current time again and bill you for the total amount in minutes. So, for example, if I began editing at 1:24 pm and finished at 1:59 pm, I would bill you for 35 minutes.

Having said that, I charge $25/hr to proofread or edit writing -- provided you need it back in more than 24 hours.

If you need it returned to you in less time than that, my hourly rate increases as follows:

within 24 hours ..................................................................... $30/hr

within 12 hours ..................................................................... $35/hr

within 4 hours ............................................................. Contact Me

Writing

Because freelance writing projects are so incredibly varied (in terms of their scope, nature, associated research, etc), I do not have a set price for this and prefer to negotiate with each client individually.

Email me with details and we can discuss the assignment together.
