Please contact me directly via the Contact/Submit Paper form to request samples of papers I have edited!
Do not ask me to edit a portion of your work for free as a sample. I will assume that you are attempting to "sample shop" and patch together free sample edits from several editors, and I will report you to your academic department if I have reason to suspect you are doing this.
I keep editing samples from clients (with their blessing) coming from various first languages and who have written about various topics. When possible, I will send you a sample from a client whose first language is the same as yours so you can see how I fix common issues in writing whose authors come from that language. I strongly recommend that you request samples with matching first languages rather than matching subject matter (as in "a hard science paper" or "a psychology essay") because that will give you much more insight into the errors you'll expect to see and that I'll correct in your own writing. I fix English, not content! Unless you speak an extremely rare language, I can guarantee I'll have samples available from authors who share your first language.
Below is the certificate demonstrating that I have completed and passed the Copyediting Standards course offered online by Queen's University (late summer 2017 term). More detailed course records are available upon request.
