When checking students’ work I tend to come across the same mistakes (or same type of mistakes) regardless of the subject and level of study. These mistakes can be just as common in native students’ work as in essays, theses, and dissertations written by international students with English as a second or additional language.
Below you will find a list of the most common errors I encounter. By clicking on each one you will be taken to a website/resource that gives you more information about the mistake and how to overcome it.
If you need any further help I would be happy to assist you. Equally please contact me if you think another topic should be added to this list. You can email me at kelly@proofreadingandediting.co.uk
