Testimonials for Tanya

Here are some lovely things my clients have said…

Initially, the thought of having someone else read and critique my work was nerve wrecking, but Tanya made the process easy and enjoyable. Her feedback was always prompt and inputs relevant. Thank you for the wonderful service! Simphiwe Mlotshwa, MPhil in Business Management, University of Pretoria

Tanya is an amazing language editor. She is efficient and great pays attention to detail. I can definitely recommend her work! Musa Rikhotso, Vaal University of Technology 

I have nothing but good things to say about my interaction with Tanya and I would rate her service as a 5-star experience. I appreciated everything about working with this lady – response time was rapid, estimated duration was realistic and fair, and she was extremely efficient. In fact, she went beyond the scope required. Most importantly, the quality of her editing service was superb and was worth every cent. I highly recommend working with Tanya. Buchule Mnonopheli Hlomendlini, MBA Candidate, Nelson Mandela University 

I recently enlisted Tanya’s services to review my PhD dissertation, prior to final submission. This document centered around artificial intelligence concepts, describing the optimisation of complex mathematical models. Finding a copy-editor who was willing to review such content and within a LaTeX environment proved quite problematic. I was most pleased when Tanya rose to the challenge, suggesting meaningful enhancements to the writing, all within LaTeX. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone writing similar pieces and, with her newly-acquired AI knowledge, look forward to co-authoring a paper with her in the not-too-distant future. Ryan Goss, PhD Candidate, University of Cape Town

My company contracted Tanya to assist in putting together four complex training modules for the NMMU Business School Executive Education unit. I found Tanya to be an exceptionally efficient and thorough editor with a deep insight into the correct and effective use of written English. Not only was she a valuable editor, but she gained an understanding of the content and provided invaluable insight when the author’s meaning was not clear. During our project Tanya played an informal, but very effective, project-management role, which was much appreciated. I thus have no hesitation in recommending Tanya for any similar editing project and would willingly provide further insight and reference if required.

In completing my masters treatise on parametric architectural design, I often found difficulty in conveying my thoughts fluidly and simplistically, resulting in overly expressive, or highly technical descriptions. I called on Tanya to act as my copy-editor and to assist me in managing my sentence structure and punctuation.

She took on the task and suggested new and alternate ways of expressing my message, constructing a more meaningful text that could be read and enjoyed by a greater audience. She thoroughly addressed my concerns and made valuable changes to the document, and – in doing so – added value to my overall treatise project. Her insights were constructive and appreciated. I highly recommend her services and will definitely keep her card in my Rolodex! Braddin Ley, BAS, M.Arch (Prof.) Coursework

I used Tanya’s language editing services to conduct a review of a PhD in Economics, focused on the South African Renewable Energy Sector.

She managed to perfect the document, which had areas that needed particular attention in terms of flow and structure, resulting in a much better read. Tanya also suggested a few areas of improvement in a very constructive manner, making the whole experience quick and efficient without changing the main thrust of the research. Additional proofreading services were also offered to ensure a high quality was achieved at the end of the day. Chris Ettmayr, Renewable Energy Sector Manager, East London IDZ.

I had the pleasure of having Tanya proofread and edit my doctoral thesis. Tanya was quick, efficient, effective, and added great value in critical areas.

She worked hand-in-hand with me and always made sure that the context and concepts were understood. She enhanced my thesis through her superior command of the English language and her ability to weave thoughts together in a succinct manner, while maintaining a powerful delivery of the key messages.

Tanya was an absolute pleasure to work with and, through my experience, I could confidently state that she would add value to any work she is involved with. Dion Glass, Supply Chain Director, Safripol (Pty) Ltd

I write this testimonial nervously, because I’m sure by now Ms. Wyatt will already have picked out copious gaps in my use of words, how they fit with one another and how they’re adorned. I love to write. I love getting my thoughts marching across a page. Without Tanya this would remain a pipe dream. She is my connection to the world out there; she makes sure that what I want to say, is what I say. Her eye for detail is profound (scary actually) and her grammar angst has her waking up at night while I’m dreaming sweetly. When I’m ready to send it off to print, Tanya’s got my back, checking just one more time. So I am very happy to recommend her services to anyone who has to put thought to paper. Tanya is a key step in making sure it’s the best thing you can write. Gary Koekemoer: facilitator, trainer, mediator, education designer & developer.

A special thanks to you and your proofer for editing my treatise so quickly, and for improving its quality. Many thanks also for accommodating me and helping me hand in on time. I really appreciate it! Jadine Januarie, Counselling Psychology Master’s student, NMMU

Thanks so much for your professional work and  prompt action in assisting me. I will  definitely be contacting you again very soon, as I go along  with my research. Sisco Auala, research proposal for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy in Tourism, NMMU.

Let me express a word of gratitude for your patience. It was not always easy for you as I responded late at times. It was a pleasure working with you! Zwelixolile Zipete, Masters in Development Studies, NMMU

A very professional experience, highly recommended. Regardt Potgieter, Department of Quantity Surveying, Nelson Mandela University

I really enjoyed working with Tanya, as she is professional and very meticulous. I found her to be focused and on task. Her turnaround time is very good. I liked the fact that she sent me the first version to check so that it was a work in progress.  The final product was polished and professional. Dr Alethea de Villiers, Senior Lecturer, Music Department, NMU
