“Aron's feedback was targeted and very helpful. He is an incisive critical reader and knows how to ask the right questions to improve a piece of writing. I always leave sessions with Aron armed with a clearer conception of my argument and confidence about how to convey my ideas more effectively.”
– Sarah Atkinson, doctoral candidate, Italian Language and Literature, Yale University
“It is never easy to give your writing into someone else’s hands, especially when you write in a foreign language where you never quite feel at ease – Aron, however, has made the process of language editing not just enjoyable for me but a real learning experience. He has helped me to find words that do feel like they are my own. What drives his work is a rare desire to actually understand what it is that you want to say and to find the right words for it.
Aron is highly professional and reliable, swift in his communication and extremely accommodating – but what, in my eyes, makes him an exceptionally gifted writer and editor is the great care and sensitivity with which he handles the texts that he works with. I could not wish for a better reader and editor and I look forward to working with Aron again!
– Dr. Elisa Ronzheimer, Researcher, University of Bielefeld
