very happy

I‘m very happy about the help one of the team gave me. It really helped me to correct my work and made it for sure so much easier. I liked also that if something was completely deleted, the person wrote me a comment to explain why it was deleted. I can for sure recommend this:)

Plagarism detactor addition info

Okay, It gave me history.com which I cited, Bagong-filipino.blogspot.com is a crusader war website but I'm writing something about WWII, and essayzilla.org which is writing you an essay and I can see why you would do this as you can't take any chance. Overall, it is good and I would recommend but it can take some time.

Extremely professional and timely

Extremely professional and timely! Regis did an amazing job bringing my admission essay to life. It went from overly wordy and unclear to very professional and concise. If I don't get into my desired program, it won't be because of my essay.

What an amazing site and team

What an amazing site and team. I am so incredibly impressed. My son is applying to colleges and wanted help and feedback with his essay. He asked me to upload it to Scribbr. Somehow I messed up and put it under the wrong heading but received an email within minutes to tell me they picked up on it and asking me if I wanted to change. Eden immediately helped me make the change and followed up with me to make sure I am satisfied. With a team as adept and on the ball as this, I am confident the editing and coaching my son receives will be helpful. Additionally, I think it's an incredible value. When my son asked about it I was worried it would be ridiculously expensive. On the contrary, the price was more than reasonable for the work. Fantastic all around. UPDATE: Absolutely thrilled with the editing and coaching received. My son's essay is far better as a result and I think he learned a bit about how to improve his writing overall. Thank you Scribbr team. I'm a grateful mama. You took a huge weight off my son's shoulders with your help.
