‘As parents who value education and want the best for our children, this editing service is more than a life line. We watched our son in Year 12 working for hours on a 4,000 word essay and when he came to ask us to edit it we knew we would find it difficult to be critical of it, let alone know exactly what he needed to do to improve the paper. Initially, we were very worried about him using an editing service not knowing what to expect and wondered if we would get value for money. To our surprise, the service was not only very professional and efficient but went beyond expectations to provide a very personal, caring and individualised service. The service is worth every cent. The edited information is also set out so that the feedback can be easily referred to for future reference by not only our son but also his younger brother, so the service is much more than just about editing a document.’
Marion and Rod, parents of Year 12 student
‘Year 12 is stressful enough as it is without having to worry because your teacher doesn’t have enough time to look over the draft of your essay properly. I spent months working on my major essay for history, which is worth 25% of my grade, so I wanted to get it right. I submitted it to Elite Editing & Tutoring for professional editing. And I am so glad I did. The editor did a truly amazing job improving my essay and making sure it was written in formal, academic English. The references were corrected and everything. The letter the editor wrote explained some things that I had done wrong and gave me suggestions for other things I could do to improve the essay even more. I’m going to uni next year and I will definitely continue to use Elite Editing & Tutoring.’
Jamie Maddison, Year 12 student
‘I grew up in China learning English, but my English was not very good. Since coming to Australia, I have had trouble in high school not getting good marks for my assignments. Now Dr. Lines is my editor I get very good marks. She is also helping me to learn English. My writing and grammar is getting much better.’
Xiaolin, high school student
‘When my mum first suggested we hire an editor to proofread my final assignment, I didn’t think we would be able to afford it. After a few hours of research on the internet, I found Elite Editing & Tutoring. I couldn’t believe how cheap they were considering they provide such a professional service. I was also surprised that despite being the cheapest online editing service I could find, their editors had better qualifications and more experience than other services. The editor did a great job on my assignment and made it a hundred times better than it was. I got my first 20/20 for the assignment thanks to Elite Editing & Tutoring!’
Emma Green, Year 11 student
‘Elite Editing & Tutoring are the best. I use them for all my major assessments. They are fast, inexpensive and make my work look perfect.’
James White, high school student
‘After my teacher proofread my draft, I didn’t really think my essay could get any better. But my brother had been using Elite Editing & Tutoring for his uni assignments, and he recommended them to me. I was so surprised at how many errors my essay still had even after my teacher had looked at it! The editor fixed so many things and did such an incredible job on my essay. It was really polished and professional after the edit. He even made suggestions on what else I could include to improve the essay. I will definitely be using Elite Editing & Tutoring again.’
Michelle, Year 12 student
Undergraduate University Students
‘Lisa has been my editor for over two years. In my first year at uni, I failed some subjects and received poor grades for others. At the beginning of my second year, I started using Elite Editing & Tutoring’s editing service for all my essays and assignments. In only one semester, due to Lisa’s consistent and dedicated help, my grades improved dramatically. I now have a Distinction average, and receive High Distinctions for quite a few essays. I couldn’t have done it without her.’
Ben Standing, Bachelor of Social Sciences
‘Dr. Lisa’s editing is superb! I was already getting Credits and Distinctions at uni, but now I get a High Distinction every time. Plus, I have learnt how to improve my own writing. After working with Dr. Lisa for just a few months, I now feel really ready to start my Honours degree.’
Erin Sitters, Bachelor of Arts
‘I have been using Elite Editing & Tutoring for almost a year, and I am very happy with the editing service. When I first used Elite Editing & Tutoring, I deliberately placed minor grammar and punctuation errors (that an ordinary native speaker would be unable to notice) into my work and the editor corrected them. The editors are experienced and I trust their editing. Professional and experienced editors will never edit the content of your work and pay great attention to detail. The editors have provided useful comments that have helped me to improve my work and writing. By using Elite Editing & Tutoring, I have become a more confident and better writer. Elite Editing & Tutoring is my number one choice if I need my work professionally edited.’
David M. Tran, Bachelor of Sustainable Environments
‘THANK YOU so much! I absolutely appreciate all that you have done for me with this assignment. I will read carefully what has changed and take note on all that I can learn from the style of writing. Once again thank you, and YES I will definitely be using your service again very soon!’
Undergraduate student
‘I have been using Elite Editing & Tutoring throughout my Bachelor’s degree. As an ESL student, it’s really important to me that someone edits my work properly before I hand it in, so that my English skills don’t impact on my ability to put forward my ideas and arguments. I use Elite Editing & Tutoring because they have fast turnaround times, their editors are excellent, and they are always willing to provide extra help when I need it. They have taught me how to organise my essays properly, how to reference, and how to find academic sources. I wouldn’t be passing my subjects if it wasn’t for them.’
Mei Chen, Bachelor of Psychology
‘When I first decided to use Elite Editing & Tutoring’s online editing service, it was because it was the cheapest professional site I could find. The first time I hired them to edit an essay for me, they returned it a day early, gave me a five page letter from the editor explaining mistakes I had made and how I could do better next time, and the Tracked Changes version of my essay showed that they had spent hours and hours fixing up every single mistake in my essay. I was so impressed that I have used them ever since and my grades have really improved.’
Jason, Bachelor of Business
‘I would recommend Elite Editing & Tutoring to anyone. They are just like they say in their ads: faster, cheaper and more qualified than any other editing service in Australia. I would also add just plain better.’
Rebecca, Bachelor of Nursing
‘Elite Editing & Tutoring are fantastic. They really, really help me with all of my essays and I couldn’t get such high grades without them. They always reply to my emails straight away and they obviously really care about students. I use their Urgent Service all the time. Once I had to send them an essay at 2am and I needed it back by 7am so I could go over it and make the changes the editor suggested before handing it in at 9am. Not only did I get the essay back in time (actually at 6:30am!) but they did an amazing job editing it, as always.’
Todd McKenzie, Bachelor of Arts
Postgraduate University Students
‘I spent many years working on my PhD and it was re-assuring to know that someone like Dr Lisa would be taking it into her care and taking the pressure off by giving it the final once over for accuracy, consistency and of course to make it look nice. These things are not so easy for the writer to do when fatigue has already set in!’
Maria Giannacopoulos, PhD Law
‘A good editor may be the difference between a pass or fail, or more positively, a High Distinction or a Distinction. A good editor will not only attend to spelling, grammar, syntax and structure but will also read and understand the point of the assignment and thus recommend changes in accordance with the specific intentions of the work. A good editor is clear and precise. A good editor offers suggestions toward increasing clarity, that is, what you think you are saying may not be what you have said. This is all the job of a good editor. Dr. Lisa Lines is one of the best. I have never received less than a High Distinction in any subject since using her services.’
Gary, Masters by coursework
‘Elite Editing & Tutoring was a great discovery during my Ph.D., especially given that I am not an English native speaker. The first time I contacted them I was really in a hurry, as I had to submit an article for an international refereed journal and I wanted to be sure everything was perfect. They were able to send me the paper back in less than one week! What I found even more interesting is that they not only provide a final version of the document and a Tracked Changes version (so that you can check what changes they made), but they also give you suggestions on how to improve your English … amazing. I am almost ready to submit my Ph.D. thesis. I’ll definitely ask them to edit it!’
Armando, PhD Wine Economics and Rural Development
‘I am very pleased with the editing done by Dr Lisa. Even after reading my Honours thesis more than ten times, and asking other lecturers to proofread my thesis, it astounds me that the editor managed to find so many important mistakes that needed to be corrected. One of the most positive aspects of Elite Editing & Tutoring is that the email correspondence was prompt and I actually received the edited version of my thesis before the deadline. This gave me more time to get it printed out and I didn’t have to rush. Overall, I am very satisfied with the editing service provided. I am looking forward to engaging their services again in the near future.’
Mohammed, International Honours student
‘Dr. Lines recently edited my Masters thesis. English is my second language and I was having a great deal of trouble expressing my ideas and arguments. I worked with Dr. Lines throughout the writing process and, thanks to her, my thesis is now a highly polished document. It is a remarkable improvement from my first draft. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.’
Yifan Huang, Masters Economics
‘Thank you so very, very much! You did such a fabulous job, I am extremely happy =) Thank you for the tips as well … I must say I am completely speechless right now, what a remarkable job you did: nothing short of a miracle!! You are one talented lady! It's been a crazy few days, but it seems to have worked out just great. Again, a million times thank you!! I had better hurry up so I can hand this thesis in – FINALLY =)’
Masters by research student
‘After working on my PhD for five years there was no way I was going to let just anyone edit it. I wanted to be sure that it would be edited by a professional and by someone who had many years of experience editing PhD theses. I must admit, I was sceptical that an editor could improve the thesis more than I already had myself, after editing it multiple times and having my supervisor proofread read it as well. But my supervisor recommended Elite Editing & Tutoring, and since I was able to get funding from my university for the editing I was willing to give them a go. After receiving my edited thesis back, I was more than impressed. My thesis was returned to me ahead of the deadline and it really had been significantly improved. It has obviously contained quite a few errors and inconsistencies that I didn’t even realise were there. The editor did such a superb job that it would have been excellent value for money even if I had paid for it myself! I have gone on to recommend their services to all the other postgraduate students in my department and will continue to do so.’
Teresa, PhD Psychology
‘As a Masters student, nothing was more important to me than doing the best job I could on my thesis. Once I had done absolutely everything I could, I knew it was important to hire a professional editor to take my thesis to the next level. After editing, the formatting and referencing were perfect, the thesis was written in clear and precise language, all my grammatical and punctuation errors were removed, and everything was consistent and organised. The editor even pointed out that I had left out one of the sections and commented on a few ways I could make my argument more convincing by providing more detail. I am so thankful to my editor and will continue to use Elite Editing & Tutoring when I go on to do my PhD.’

‘I have received your email with my edited essay and I managed to submit the assignment on time (within the last hour!!!). It is a pleasure dealing with you Dr. Lisa, as you are a great helper and supporter as usual. I have no words that I could use to express my great appreciation to your efforts. Thanks indeed Dr. Lisa for your help, guidance, assistance and your support in the hard and harsh time that I had been through within the last 6 days.’
Postgraduate Nursing student
‘When I came to Australia to do my PhD, I had no idea how much my English would affect my studies. I was working so hard and giving drafts to my supervisor but he did not understand them because my English was so bad. I decided to hire an editor to work with me for the whole degree. I sent my chapters one by one to Elite Editing & Tutoring to edit before I gave them to my supervisor. Then my supervisor could read them and give me important feedback on my research and information. Then I made changes my supervisor suggested. At the end I gave my whole thesis to Elite Editing & Tutoring to edit again, to fix up the English in the changes I made and to present the whole thing properly. They even gave me a big discount because they had already edited the chapters before, even though I had made changes to them. I think they are fantastic and I wouldn’t have been able to hand over my thesis to the university without them.’
Mohammed Sayed, PhD Engineering
‘My parents had to save a lot of money to send me to university in Australia. At the end of my first semester I was ashamed to tell them that I had failed two subjects. It was because my English was not good enough. I was very worried to start my second semester because even though I was trying hard to improve my English, my writing had not gotten better. Then my friend who is also from China told me about Elite Editing & Tutoring. He said they had helped him to get better marks by editing his essays. I tried them for my first essay in Semester 2. I was so happy with how much better my essay was, and I got my first credit at university. They gave me lots of help and advice all semester. I asked them many questions about how to write a proper university essay and asked many grammar questions. They always answered my questions. Every time I got an essay edited I learnt from my mistakes and tried not to make them again. With lots of hard work and editing by Elite Editing & Tutoring I was able to pass all my subjects. My parents were so happy!’
Hui Zhong, Bachelor of Arts
‘I just received another edited essay back from Elite Editing & Tutoring and once again I am so pleased with their work. The editor always makes my essays sound so much better and removes all the mistakes. The editor can always understand what I am trying to say and make sure it is clear and written without errors. Elite Editing & Tutoring has the best and most caring editors. I recommend them to all my friends.’
Lily, Bachelor of International Studies
‘Elite Editing & Tutoring is the best editing service for ESL students. Their prices are good, they care very much about their students, they always meet their deadlines and the editing they do for ESL students is amazing. When most people can’t understand what you want to say because your English is bad, the editors at Elite Editing & Tutoring know just how to fix your writing so your meaning is clear. All my friends use their service.’
John, Bachelor of Commerce (International Business)
Academics
‘Lisa has edited several journal articles for me. Her thorough command of language really helps in making sure that the article is well expressed and free of errors. Lisa works very quickly and I have found it invaluable to have somebody format an article to the style of the particular journal. It is a massive time saver that allows me to move on to my next piece of work. I plan to use Lisa's services again, including for a book project I have coming up, and highly recommend her to academics wanting to save time and wanting to submit their work with the confidence that it has been thoroughly looked over and formatted to their particular requirements. I am genuinely impressed with the work of Elite Editing & Tutoring.’
Dr Dominic O'Sullivan, Senior Lecturer in Political Science
‘As academics, we are experts in our field. However, I believe we often forget that being an expert in Political Science, for example, does not mean we are also experts at editing our own work. I consistently hire Elite Editing & Tutoring to edit my articles before submitting them to journals for consideration. It is much more economical to do this first rather than receive a reply from a journal requesting revisions prior to their acceptance of the article.’
Lecturer in Political Science
‘As an early career researcher, getting published is my main priority. I had to submit my first journal article to six different journals before it was accepted for publication! Of course, each time I needed to re-format the article and change the referencing style in order to bring the article in line with the guidelines for that specific journal. Instead of spending hours doing this each time, I hired an editor at Elite Editing & Tutoring to do it for me. That way I could concentrate on writing my next article, and the process of getting published for the first time was much easier and less time consuming.’
Lecturer in Sociology
‘As an academic at an Italian university, I am experiencing increasing pressure to publish in English. This is not easy for me as English is my second language. At first I was hesitant to hire a company from Australia to edit my journal articles. However, Elite Editing & Tutoring have proven themselves to be professional, trustworthy and completely reliable. I am able to make payment easily through PayPal and they even work through the night to be able to contact me during my working hours. Several of my colleagues have begun to hire them also, after my recommendation.’
Associate Professor of Economics
‘Publication is obviously critical in academia and it is becoming ever more important as competition for jobs increases. After being rejected by several publishers for problems with language and writing style (English is my second language), I chose to hire Elite Editing & Tutoring to edit my monograph prior to submitting it to publishers for their consideration. The editor was truly dedicated to improving my manuscript and the result was very pleasing. Several publishers have since shown interest in my book and I will be signing a contract shortly.’
Lecturer in History
‘Honestly, I have never recommended Elite Editing & Tutoring to any of my colleagues because I am unwilling to let anyone in my department know that I use a professional editor. I think there is a bit of a stigma attached to it and many academics do not wish to admit that their work could be improved by professional editing. I sincerely hope that this changes in the future. I initially used Elite Editing & Tutoring to edit my PhD thesis and I have continued to use them since gaining employment as an academic. I really feel there is value in having important pieces of research edited, such as published conference papers or journal articles.’
Lecturer in Social Work
Businesses
‘As a business person, accuracy and professionalism is very important to me. Recently, I launched a new advertising and marketing campaign. I wanted to ensure that the material was perfect, because it would be widely distributed and any errors would reflect poorly on my business. I hired Lisa from Elite Editing & Tutoring to professionally edit all of the material for the campaign and I was certainly pleased with her work. She ensured that my message was delivered in a way that was clear, concise and convincing. The campaign has been very positively received by my existing customers and has helped me to secure new customers. I am sure that this is in part because of Lisa’s professionalism and editing skills. She was able to understand what I wanted to achieve and to help me to achieve it.’
Teresa Riccio, Managing Director, Toota Froota
‘I would like to make a recommendation for Dr. Lisa Lines of Elite Editing & Tutoring. SACCM issues a monthly magazine to over 500 readers and for the past two years, Dr. Lines has been editing, proofreading and making changes to this magazine that has lead it to become the premier Country Music magazine in South Australia. We also hire Dr Lines to edit our advertising material, the programs for our events, and our grant applications. Her work is always of the highest quality and extremely valuable. Her professionalism and dedication to our organisation is priceless. We will continue to make use of her editing services and encourage others to do the same.’
Joni Lee-Voyce, Chief Executive Officer, South Australian Council for Country Music Inc.
‘I hired Dr Lines from Elite Editing & Tutoring to professional edit our tender to the Australian Government. Confidentiality was extremely important and Dr Lines was able to provide complete confidentiality and privacy. She edited our tender (including several lengthy reports and a PowerPoint presentation) with extreme accuracy and professionalism. I was very happy with the work she completed for us and will continue to hire Elite Editing & Tutoring in the future.’
Anonymous for confidentiality reasons
‘As a company that provides Virtual Assistants to businesses all over the world, our sole method of advertising is through the internet. Our website is the only way we are able to reach customers globally. Thus, it is vital that our website is professional and written with accuracy and clarity. It is the first point of contact that our customers have with us and in 99% of cases, customers decide if they will hire us or not during their first visit to our website. First impressions count. For this reason, I hired Elite Editing & Tutoring to edit the content on every page of our site. I was shocked at the extent to which the editor was able to improve the site, and how many errors she corrected. I realised that we must have been losing business as a result of advertising to customers with a website that contained so many errors. After uploading the edited content and making further improvements to the site suggested by the editor, Google Analytics shows that our bounce rate has decreased and customers are staying on our site for longer. Our business has improved noticeably with many new customers.’
