Have you ever felt that despite hours of work on your thesis or seminar paper, something is not right? This is where proofreading comes into play!
Definition
- What is Proofreading? Proofreading is the process where a text is checked for grammar, style, spelling, and coherence. It’s like the final touch for a piece of art.
- Why is proofreading important for students? A well-proofread document can make the difference between an average and an excellent grade. It also shows professionalism and care.
Traditional Proofreading
Traditional proofreading refers to the manual process in which a proofreader checks the text physically or digitally. It offers the advantage of personal contact and individual advice.
Traditional proofreading can be expensive and time-consuming.

Comparison: Traditional Proofreading vs. Online Proofreading
- Cost: Traditional proofreading can be expensive, especially for extensive works. Mimir Mentor offers a cost-effective alternative.
- Time: Mimir Mentor delivers results in minutes, while traditional proofreading can take days.

Cost Comparison: Traditional Proofreading vs. Online Proofreading
An important factor for students is the cost. Traditional proofreading services’ prices vary depending on volume and desired processing time. Mimir Mentor, on the other hand, is free and offers advanced features for only 17.00 € per month.
Practical Examples
Example 1: Thesis Correction – Imagine you have a 100-page thesis. A traditional proofreader could take weeks and cost between 380 € and 1100 € depending on the provider and service. Mimir Mentor could be done in a few hours and cost significantly less, depending on the subscription or individual fee.
Example 2: Seminar Paper Revision – For shorter texts, both methods could be similarly effective. A 20-page seminar paper might cost between 120 € and 260 € at a traditional proofreading service, while Mimir Mentor could revise it in a shorter time for a fraction of the price.
