TESTIMONIAL
​
Ms Ricky Woods has been of great help both to me and to my students. She was responsible for the language editing of my PhD thesis, as well as for several of my publications. Her swift and accurate work has been hugely beneficial when deadlines are looming. She has made herself available at very inopportune times, even completing rush work over weekends. I wholly recommend Ms Woods to anyone requiring a very competent and reliable language editor.
