The students we serve are Chinese, which means English is their second language. Writing is difficult enough for some students, let alone those who struggle with vocabulary and sentence structure. SimpleTense writers help students write and edit their work to craft clear, striking, grammatically correct essays.
We typically review applications within 24-48 hours. The exception is for applications submitted between May 15 and August 31. You are welcome to apply during this time frame, but your application will be held until September, which is when we start hiring writers for the upcoming academic year.
If your application is approved, we’ll set up a quick call to welcome you and answer your questions. After the call, you’ll go through the training materials at your own pace. When you finish the training, you’ll be able to claim your first assignment and start writing.
