Education editor

Editor for educational content

I can edit your K–12 curriculum, teacher resources, or learning materials for clarity, organization, and bias-free language. I have a master’s degree, teaching experience, and an editing certificate from Simon Fraser University. As a former teacher, I can edit student resources (such as textbooks), to ensure the reading level is grade-appropriate and the material is relevant to a wide range of learners from a variety of backgrounds. Do you need a curriculum editor to make your content and expectations easy to understand? Let’s discuss your editing needs.

My unique perspective

As a former teacher, I have experience working with curricula, and I know what makes an educational resource effective.

  • I’ve used educational materials in the classroom and have seen whether or not they engage students;

  • I’ve talked with dozens of teachers about the strengths and weaknesses of teaching/learning materials, including teacher resources;

  • I’ve used countless teaching materials and know what makes them teacher- or student-friendly.
