One-to-One Tutoring

Personalised sessions built around what you are actually working on — your paper, your presentation, your application. Lessons are conducted entirely in native English, online or in person in Taiwan.

Meet your teacher — Daniel Boles (PhD)

With two master's degrees and a PhD, I offer personalised one-on-one tutoring in academic writing, business writing, thesis and dissertation support, and creative writing. I design custom lessons to help you grow as a clear, confident writer and researcher.

My years at Uni-edit have given me insights into academic publishing, editing standards and what reviewers actually reject papers for — insights most writing tutors simply do not have. Whether you are polishing a paper, preparing a dissertation, or building a skill, no project is too big or too small.

Paper coaching

Not editing — coaching. We work on the paper together so that you write the next one better, rather than simply receiving a corrected file.

  • Structuring an argument across a full manuscript
  • Writing the sections reviewers read hardest — abstract, introduction, discussion
  • Positioning your contribution against the literature rather than merely describing it
  • Matching claim strength to what your data actually supports
  • Working through reviewer comments and drafting the response letter
  • Understanding why a paper was rejected, and what to change before resubmitting

Using AI in academic research

Researchers are already using AI tools. The question is whether they are being used in ways that will survive a journal's scrutiny. We work through this practically, with your own material.

  • Where AI genuinely helps in a research workflow — and where it quietly creates risk
  • Verifying output that reads convincingly, especially references and claims about prior work
  • What journals and funders now require you to disclose, and how to word it
  • Keeping your own voice and argument in a draft that had machine assistance
  • Confidentiality — what should never be pasted into a general-purpose tool

Taught from an editor's and publisher's perspective rather than a technology one. The goal is judgement, not a list of apps.

Presentation English tutoring

  • Conference talks — structure, timing, and the sentences that carry your result
  • Slide language: saying more with fewer words on screen
  • Poster presentations, and the conversations that happen around them
  • Handling the question session, including questions you did not anticipate
  • Thesis defence preparation
  • Delivery and clarity for an international audience

Testimonials

Kind words of Happy Clients

The Uni-edit team worked hard to complete the editorial work in a week. I believe all the Academic scholars ever work with Uni-edit will recommend it certainly.
Associate Professor Hung-Bin Lee
Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Da-Yeh University
The main reason I would keep sending my papers to Uni-edit and recommend Uni-edit to other professors is they allow me to focus on improving the research content and do not need to worry about the language writing in English.

asked questions

We're here to help you design, install, and maintain your dream pool. If you have any questions that aren't covered here, feel free to reach out to us!

How long does editing usually take?

Most standard editing is completed in five days, including weekends. Timing depends on file condition, service level, complexity and current capacity, and the delivery date is confirmed in your detailed quotation.

I think my English is poor. Do I need the rewriting service?

If you think your paper needs rewriting, please ask customer service in your email. We will determine if rewriting is required and inform you before editing your paper. Generally, if more than 20% of sentences need rewriting (the whole sentence needs correction) then you must use the rewriting service. For rewriting, you do need to choose a Level. We will do the best editing job possible.

Who will edit my paper?

To achieve a consistently high quality service, Uni-edit uses two editor roles on your conference or journal paper. The first Editor is qualified in your general area of expertise. The second Editor is also qualified in your general area and has exceptional English and editing skills. All Editors are professionally trained. Our Senior Editor takes overall responsibility for the quality of every edit. Authors are often surprised how the Editors seem to understand the content of the research, even if it is very technical or mathematical.

I used generative AI to help write my paper. Is that a problem?

No, and it helps us if you tell us. Many journals now ask authors to declare how generative AI was used, and the wording each publisher expects is different. Let customer service know when you submit, and your editors will read the manuscript with that in mind and help you word the declaration your target journal asks for. Where AI drafted substantial passages, the Rewrite service is usually the right choice, because those passages need more than sentence-level correction. Telling us early is far easier than answering a reviewer's question later.

For a journal paper, Level 2 or Level 3 editing?

For a journal submission, Level 3 is the safer choice. Both levels put two editors on your paper, but Level 3 goes beyond language: it refines paragraph and document structure, strengthens how your argument is formed, and improves flow and consistency. That is what reviewers comment on when the science is sound but the writing gets in the way. Level 2 suits a manuscript that is already well structured and mainly needs the language corrected. If you drafted with generative AI, ask about the Rewrite service, because AI-drafted passages usually need more than sentence-level correction.

Do you check figures and tables?

Yes, our editing is not only about correct English grammar. Our English editing is about supporting you to get your paper published and help the readers understand your research. Therefore, we check figure captions and labels; information in tables and we check that text descriptions match equations. We also check the text descriptions match graphs and charts.
