Professional writer with extensive experience in all kinds of writing, editing and creative consulting.

With a varied professional background dealing with the nuances of the English language, I have honed my skills at writing for diverse audiences; writing for the attention of the dreaded university applications officer is a feat that I can help you accomplish. As a journalist I covered an odd array of topics, from the arts to economics, urban conservation to international relations. I will ensure you put yourself across as you intend, no matter what the subject of your writing is.

As scientist with a PhD from Oxford and one of ZhiShiQ's Senior Advisors, I have helped hundreds of clients make successful applications to graduate/undergraduate programs to some of the world's most prestigious universities: think Cambridge, Oxford, LSE, UCL, MIT, Yale, Harvard, Stanford, NUS, HKUST, and ETHZ.

As a graduate student, I do a lot of editing. The hardest thing about editing is erasing, and nobody likes erasing something he or she has written - especially if it's something written about your life! I can help you make the decisions based on what employers/admissions like to see. Also, because I study negotiations, I spend a lot of time studying techniques of persuasion, and I can use those techniques to help rewrite your materials so that you sound like the amazing candidate you are!

With a background in Chinese to English translation and teaching English as a second language, I have honed excellent skills in attention to detail and cultivated a passion towards supporting international students. Having completed a year of study with Zhejiang University of Media and Communications, I have gained first-hand experience of the challenges of studying in another language and believe I can support students in reflecting their potential through the application process.

Hello! My name is Aaron, and I'd like to work with you. I'm guessing you've got a wealth of talent and experience and you need it to stand out.

I'm confident that, together, we can make your application represent you with just the right shine.
