I am not a teacher!

My efforts in editing your essays are the very best that I can do. I try to improve your essays without altering your intention, but very often this is difficult, simply because I do not understand what you are trying to say.

In your spare time I ask that you read as much as you possibly can. Newspapers and magazines are best, simply because they usually only consist of short articles that you can finish in a few moments.

Again I say; Read each sentence carefully. Make absolutely sure that you understand what is being said, and more importantly, HOW it is being said.

I assure you that your essays will improve beyond recognition if you were to do as I ask.

Kitos.

Thank Kotos. You are so nice helping many people here :)

What you try to emphasize is so important. However, it's quite hard for me as I am the one who write the essay. I often feel that it's understandable while it is not. Thank to english-test, getting advice from other people and reading other essay can help me improve more. :)

Hi Jzmee, :-)) Yes, I appreciate just how difficult it is, but unfortunately it has to be studied and perfected.

Only those with a qualification will be hired to teach, and obviously they must be capable of teaching the correct grammar and structure, otherwise if the standard were lower, even people like myself would be standing in front of a class of students.

Have patience my friend, like in life, good things come to those who wait.

Kitos.
