DON'T RELY ON AI FOR RESEARCH AND WRITING. YOU NEED AN EXPERT EYE.

You can be fluent in spoken English, very brilliant in your own field, and still find yourself stuck when it comes to academic writing. Why? You knew it, didn't you? The rules are different. The expectations are higher. And for many students and scholars in Asia, mastering that shift from everyday language to publishable prose can feel like learning a new language all over again.

That’s where Retta steps in.

As both an active researcher and a native-speaking ESL teacher, she understands the gap between ideas and execution. With formal training in English for Academic Purposes (EAP), she is a published author and peer reviewer for major international journals, including those classified as Q1. Her track record on academic editing speaks for itself:

  • 50+ Journal Articles, Edited Volumes and Monographs
  • 50+ Grant Proposals 
  • 50+ Doctoral dissertations
  • 20+ Master's degree theses
  • 30+ Bachelor's theses & honours/final year projects

She is also working with a global network of academic experts in different fields on grant proposal reviews. 

Previously served as a research team leader and postdoc co-supervisor, Retta also offers bespoke dissertation coaching to doctoral students and candidates. For emerging scholars, sometimes what you need isn’t just a timely polish, but a thought partner who's been there herself. 

Ready to turn your research into results? Send Retta a message and discuss how she can help.
