grammer help for nursing student

[blenderbottle]

Hi, I am nursing student, I am really good with science and math and not so much with grammar. I always use Microsoft review and fixed my errors. In this semester I am writing research paper, and my professor taking points for grammer errors. I ask friends and family for help, but they want help because they just do not want to waste their time. I also used grammarly free version.

I even signed up for premium services with grammarly (I had to pay $70) but tur out is is complete scam. Now I am fighting back and trying to recover my money back.

Also use NewTutor, they review my paper and gave my link to apa style book and told me that i have grammer problem, which i need to work on.

Does any one know any online servies, where my paper can be reviewed for grammar errors by human ?

Thank you

Is English your native language? If not, sometimes public libraries offer free ESL (English as a Second Language) classes. Also, there are a lot of free resources online for ESL students.

A former co-worker of mine volunteered teaching ESL to local high school and college students. Part of what she did was help with writing assignments. Google free ESL classes in your area.

Find a classmate to team up with and offer to trade with them. If you are good at the math/science part - help them while they review your papers. I second the ESL portion as well. While normally I try to leave religion out of things, there do seem to be a high number of churches that offer ESL services, and churches seem to reach out more to college students than your average joe. Maybe you could meet someone and offer to do some light yard work or grocery getting in exchange for assistance with your papers. Lastly - I would speak with your professors.

Good Luck. I hope that you can find a solution.

I'm not a grammar expert but I will point out a few mistakes in your post. They are just some suggestions.

"I do well in science and math but not with writing. This semester, I am writing a research paper and my professor is taking off points for grammar. I use Microsoft review and the free version of Grammarly to correct mistakes. I have asked my family and friends for help but they are not willing.

Second paragraph "but it turned out to be a scam." You misspelled turn, and have two is.

Third, add I ("I also use'"). Gave my should be gave me. Should be a link or links. Capitalize I in all sentences. You have spelt grammar incorrectly. My word program even highlighted that my should be me. I also think it should be more than one sentence.

Lastly, anyone is one word. By human should be by a human. Also, services is spelt incorrectly. Online services is not a physical space so I would use "that" instead of where.

I think some of your mistakes is from not rereading your own paper. For example, I think you would have picked up on the "is is." Since many words sounds the same but have different spellings, the spell check will not pick them up. For example, there and their, site and sight, waist and waste etc. One trick I have used is when you aren't sure if a sentence sounds right, rewrite it. Pay attention to plurals and capitalizing I.

Always, proofread your papers more than once. Take a break from writing and check it again with a fresh mind. My APA book had grammar tips. (APA is all caps.)
