Why it pays off

Why proofreading pays off

Proofreading a term paper pays off, because for many students it is the first larger piece of academic work of their degree.

Language counts

Lecturers always grade seminar papers on language as well. Typos and misplaced commas pull the grade down.

A fresh eye

Anyone who polishes their own text for long loses the sober view of it. Our editors read it anew.

Tracked changes

Every intervention is recorded in Word, so you can accept or reject each change individually.

English papers

English-language papers are handled by native-speaker editors, in British or American English.

Proofreading an essay or term paper

Lecturers always judge seminar papers and term papers by their linguistic form too: typos, grammar slips and misplaced commas pull the grade down, even when content and argument convince. Anyone who works on their own text for a long time easily loses a sober view of it.

Our subject editors go through your paper with fresh eyes, find the errors that inevitably creep in while writing, and correct them cleanly without touching the content. Every intervention is recorded in the tracked changes, so you can follow each change.

When does style optimisation beat plain error correction?

  • When sentence structure and wording should be polished
  • When you doubt your expression and academic style
  • For seminar papers in which language weighs heavily
  • When the text should sound clearer and more precise

Is proofreading worth it for a term paper, or only from bachelor level?

A term paper is often the first time an academic writing style is expected, and the quality of the language shapes the impression. For a 15-page paper, proofreading costs less than €30. If the style should be revised as well, term paper editing is the right option. For term papers, proofreading is usually enough.

Other theses

We also offer bachelor thesis proofreading from €1.90 and master thesis proofreading to the same standards. If the deadline is near, see express proofreading for the short turnaround times that are possible.

Top value for money

“I booked a 48-hour express editing job. On Saturday, after only 18 hours, the corrected work came back. It was corrected in great detail and the document was full of markings. Not only the mistakes I had missed were marked, but also new suggestions on sentence structure and style. After going through the suggested changes more closely, I accepted almost all of them.”

A great experience

“It really was a great experience and absolutely worth the money. I ordered on Tuesday evening at 9 pm and received the corrected work with feedback on Saturday at 3 pm. The corrections and comments were very coherent, and above all word repetitions, grammar and phrasing could be improved. I can only recommend it.”

Eric, customer review (source: Trustami, translated from German)

Very satisfied with the editing

“I ordered editing for my term paper. I accepted all changes in the edited version and am very satisfied with the result.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does proofreading a term paper cost?

Standard proofreading costs €1.90 per standard page with a 5-day delivery time. Express costs €2.90 for 48 h or €4.90 for 24 h. A standard page counts as 1,800 characters including spaces. With the page calculator you can work out the exact price of your paper.

How long does proofreading take?

5 days are planned for standard processing. As the deadline approaches, express options of 48 or 24 hours are available. The binding deadline starts with the order and also runs at weekends and on public holidays.

Proofreading or editing for the paper?

Proofreading takes care of spelling, grammar and punctuation. Term paper editing goes further and also works on sentence structure, style and expression. For term papers, proofreading is usually enough.

How do I get the corrected paper back?

By email as a DOCX file. Every correction is documented through Word tracked changes and marked in colour, so you can accept or reject each adjustment individually.

Is express proofreading possible?

Yes. Express costs €2.90 per standard page at 48 h and €4.90 at 24 h. The period is counted from receipt of the order and includes weekends, public holidays and the night.

Which file formats are accepted?

Papers are accepted as a PDF or DOCX of up to 100 MB. Export a document from Google Docs as DOCX and a LaTeX work as a compiled PDF. With a DOCX file you receive the corrections marked in colour. PDF files carry a surcharge of €1.50 per standard page.

Will the content of my paper be changed?

No. We only touch language, spelling and punctuation, while content, theses and argument stay untouched. Every intervention remains visible in the tracked changes.

Plagiarism check and AI detector

Our plagiarism check compares your text with billions of sources, and the result is available within 30 minutes at most. The combined package of plagiarism check and AI detector costs €0.39 per standard page. The AI detector finds passages written by ChatGPT, Gemini, DeepSeek and others, sentence by sentence.

Spelling and grammar

In term papers, the basics count: capitalisation, punctuation and correct citation. Our editors go through this by hand, noticeably more thoroughly than any automatic spell checker. See also spelling, grammar and punctuation.

Can I use the service from anywhere?

Yes. The service is entirely online and open to students in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and beyond.

100 % human editing, guaranteed without AI Artificial intelligence never sees your work with us: trained human editors do the correcting. They are vetted and trained further by corrected.eu, which is how we secure the quality of every single correction. Our team at a glance →

Personal feedback is part of the service

We do not work silently in the background on your text. We comment on what we notice:

  • Comments on problematic or unclear passages, right in the document
  • Individual feedback, not just silent corrections
  • Concrete hints on writing style and expression

We refine expression, grammar and structure. We never write whole passages for you: that would be ghostwriting.

We are editors, not co-authors We correct your work for language and structure without writing text blocks for you. Ghostwriting can be treated as deception and, in the worst case, cost you your degree. Pure editing cannot.
