Being a non-native English learner, no matter how little I have to write, I am always nervous at the daunting task. I am lucky to have found Zach, and with his help, not only could I remarkably improve my writing but also dealt with such anxiety.

Zach is the major reason I was able to make it into and through grad school. He helped reformulate what I thought to be a disadvantage - a maverick long gap between my college graduation and the time I decided to apply for grad school – into an interesting part of the personal statement, which I believe significantly contributed to my acceptance. And his role in guiding me through the thesis writing process was essential, from re-organizing my initial ideas into a well-structured primary draft to the polishing of the final thesis. For those who have been struggling in grad school as I had been , his book Grad School Essentials: A Crash Course in Scholarly Skills will be a helpful tool.

Not only in grad school, Zach is my go-to person for any writing need, be it a job application, a teaching statement for periodical review or a presentation paper for a workshop. Once I had to translate a long article into English for a peer-reviewed academic journal, and certainly I enlisted Zach as co-author. He deftly added an aesthetic dimension to my otherwise pedantic translation and the piece was well received. Like a master jeweler, Zach can spot out the diamond in the rough in your writing and optimize it with his masterful touch to make the most presentable work of art to the owner’s highest satisfaction. If you are a non-native English writer, bring your writing to Zach, he can better it and make you feel better about it.
