We are looking for a native Thai speaker with professional-level language expertise to support the localisation of short elearning content from English to Thai. Native-level fluency is essential, as this work requires nuanced judgement around tone, pacing, and cultural appropriateness. We are currently localising five short AI and Cyber Security elearning courses from English to Thai. Each course is approximately three to five minutes and includes knowledge check questions. We are looking for support on an hourly basis to review, listen to, and edit the Thai translations directly within our authoring software. You will need to watch five short animations and check that the audio is accurate, correctly paced, and of good quality, with captions properly synced to the voiceover. The task will also include checking multiple choice questions and course descriptions against the original English scripts. This review will be carried out by you, not AI. If this is of interest, please let us know your availability and your hourly rate. We can then set up a short Google Meet call to walk you through the workflow and briefly explain the software we are using. Review Objective Ensure that translations of multiple choice questions, course descriptions, and videos are accurate, culturally appropriate, and suitable for a professional learning audience. Review Scope and Guidelines The batch will include five course descriptions, question sets, and videos. Multiple Choice Questions and Course Descriptions You will only review the already translated Thai text. Accuracy and clarity are critical. Translations must be fully accurate to the original English meaning. Tone should be slightly less formal while remaining professional. Translations must be culturally appropriate for a Thai audience. Please review main course titles and apply correct Thai title casing and conventions. Videos Check that voiceovers are correctly synchronised with the animation and preserve the intended meaning. Confirm that language and tone are appropriate, slightly less formal, and culturally sensitive. Review pacing to ensure the voiceover is not too fast. Proper pacing is essential for learner comprehension. If pacing is too fast, shorten the translation while preserving clarity and meaning. Ensure any shortened versions still accurately convey the original message. Appropriate pacing and clarity should support an engaging and effective learning experience.

I’m preparing my sciences-based thesis for submission and want a fresh set of expert eyes on the full manuscript. Your task is to proofread the document in English—grammar, punctuation, flow, and consistency—while respecting the technical terminology of my field. I write and speak both English and Arabic, so if you’re comfortable handling short bilingual sections such as the abstract or key terms that appear in both languages, that will be a plus, though the core text is entirely English. Please work directly in Word using Track Changes, then return two files: one showing every edit and one clean, ready-to-submit version. A seven-day turnaround from the moment we start keeps me on schedule. Acceptance criteria • All edits visible in Track Changes, no unresolved comments • Readability improved without altering scientific meaning • Final file free of spelling or grammatical errors (target: near-zero Grammarly flags) • Bilingual abstract, where touched, reads naturally in both languages Let me know about your experience with academic theses or dissertations in the sciences and your typical word-count capacity per day. I’m eager to work with someone who can polish this document to publication quality.

Children’s Puzzle Writer – Create 50 Detective Mystery Cases
I am looking for an experienced children’s puzzle writer and/or activity book creator to develop 50 original, immersive detective mystery cases for children aged 7–9. The working tile of teh book is 'The Holiday Detective Activity Book for Kids Ages 7–9”'. This is not a story book but a kids activity book for school holidays based on solving mysteries . The aim of this book is to make children feel like they are real detectives solving mysteries, rather than simply completing standard activity book puzzles. This should NOT feel like a typical kids’ activity book filled with word searches, crosswords, or random puzzles. Core Creative Requirement: **Each case should: Make the child feel like a detective investigating a mystery Be driven by a storyline with clues Encourage logical thinking, deduction, and reasoning Feel purposeful and investigative rather than “puzzle for puzzle’s sake” **Not all cases need to use traditional puzzles. Some mysteries may be solved through: Process of elimination Careful reading of clues Logical reasoning based on evidence Comparing statements from suspects **In some cases, the child may be given: A list of suspects A set of clues or witness statements A timetable, map, or simple diagram **The child should use these to work out: Who did it What happened Where or when it happened **Scope of Work You will create 50 unique detective cases, each including: Case Title - Fun, mystery-themed, age-appropriate Short Storyline / Scenario Engaging and easy to read Positive, child-friendly tone No violence, crime, or dark themes Relatable everyday situations for children **Investigation Method Each case should clearly explain how the child investigates the mystery, which may include: Solving an integrated puzzle Eliminating suspects based on clues Matching evidence to characters Reasoning through statements or timelines ** Interactive Elements Each case must include opportunities for children to: Write notes Circle or cross out options Draw lines or arrows Complete tables, checklists, or grids **Solution & Explanation Clear and unambiguous final answer Short explanation showing how the clues lead to the solution **Puzzle & Content Guidelines Target age: 7–9 years All content must be 100% original Black-and-white interior only No colour-dependent logic Avoid overused activity book formats such as: Word searches; Simple crosswords; Random mazes; Standalone cryptograms Puzzles or investigative methods should always feel meaningful to the story. ** Themes Cases should be relatable and suitable for school holidays, such as: School and clubs Family and friends Pets and animals Sports and hobbies Travel and days out Seasonal and holiday situations **Design & Illustration Design/illustration skills are not required as a separate designer may be hired, however would be a bonus if the puzzles could also be illustrated. ** Ideal Freelancer would have: Experience writing for children (especially ages 7–9) Experience with activity books, puzzle books, or educational content Strong storytelling and logical thinking skills Clear, friendly writing style To Apply, Please Include A brief description of your relevant experience Examples of previous children’s work (if available) A short sample detective mystery idea I AM OK WITH THE USE OF AI TO HELP WITH THIS PROJECT BUT PLEASE DO NOT JUST GIVE A CHAT GPT SAMPLE ABOUT A MISSING LUNCH BOX OR MISSING LIBRARY BOOK. The mysteries while aimed at kids age 7-9 shouldn't be too simplistic. They need to use their logic skills to solve. They shouldn't be able to solve the mystery in 5 mins. This is a school holidays activity book that should keep them occupied.

Proof/Edit Clinical Psychology Masters application
I am applying for a MSc in Applied Clinical Psychology. The application is largely based upon my personal statement and also answering two questions within that. I have written my person statement, but would like someone to read over it and make edits or suggestions as and when needed. I graduated in 2021 and though my overall grade was a 1st, my transcript breakdown doesn't look quite as favourable, so I want to give myself the best chance possible. Someone who is experienced with university admissions (particularly psychology/clinical psychology) and applications and/or academic writing would be ideal. No AI please, I'd like genuine human feedback and writing. I'm looking to submit my application as soon as possible, but I care for quality over speed so I am happy to give you as much time as needed and I'm not expecting an instant turn around. The word count for the personal statement from what I can tell, should be around 400-600 words, mine current sits at 600 words. I'd like to provide the course page and guidelines for the personal statement, so you can check I've covered what I need to. UK freelancers preferred. Thank you, I look forward to working together.

6 days ago0 proposalsOn-site in Manchester, GBExpert in Notion Databases & Creative Briefs for Video Content
I am restructuring six “Creative Brief Plans,” one for each short video I will be filming. Alongside these, there is a separate Notion database called Visual Content Specs, which serves as a centralized visual reference library. It contains mood boards, image references, and detailed visual options, and is designed to be easy to expand. The purpose of the two databases is distinct but complementary: - Creative Brief Plans focus on written direction and storytelling. - Visual Content Specs focuses on visual details and imagery. Together, they provide a clear, consistent guide showcasing options, direction and uniformity for the visually desired story, helping me decide what to include in each video. ---- DELIVERABLES The data across both databases is heavy in both text and images, and it needs to support text-driven and image-driven views equally. I need help auditing and restructuring the system so it is intuitive, efficient, and easy to use without confusion. - Specifically, I need the structure to support: - A simplified, centralized overview that makes the big picture of both databases immediately clear. Clear call-outs to the most efficient “starting point” (whether that is a dedicated overview page, a space-level page, or the main database view) - Correct and consistent property formats so each piece of information is understandable at a glance. This is especially critical for image-based content - Purpose-built database views for both Pages and Properties with particular attention to image viewing, comparison, and reference - Clear, intuitive navigation from *All Pages*, including a clean and logical “Cultures | Archive” structure - No redundant or duplicated information across pages, properties, or views - Both databases must remain easy to add new research and images to without breaking the structure. - It is essential that all key information can be understood directly from the database level, without needing to open individual pages—using toggles, collapsible sections, and multiple database view modes (or other appropriate tools). - Finally, Visual Content Specs must be easily and frequently referenced from within each Creative Brief Plan, reinforcing a clear link between written direction and visual execution. - This model will be for 6 videos at first, but there will be 6 more in the future utilizing the same model, 6 more again and so on -- PLEASE NOTE — I’ll be asking to sign a NDA - non disclosure agreement, requesting full privacy of this project once we begin working together
