Academic Tone
Formal is not the same as complicated. Clarity marks higher.

Students are told to write formally and hear "write complicatedly", so the sentences get longer and the argument disappears inside them. Markers reward clarity: short sentences, precise words, and hedging that is calibrated rather than nervous. We edit for that without flattening your voice.
What you get
- Long words replaced where a short one is precise
- Hedging balanced — neither absolute nor evasive
- First person used where your discipline allows it
- Contractions and colloquialisms removed
- Sentences shortened until the argument shows
