• Who We Are •
Harmonious English founder Nina is proud of our track record. Our teaching/educational experience spans some of the world’s leading institutions: the University of Auckland, the University of California at San Diego, New York University, and Victoria University of Wellington, among others. We are acutely aware of what excellence looks like – it’s in our DNA. Our international experience means we have an appreciation of the leaps people take when becoming global nomads and need help with their English.
We love language and our publishing history shows it. We’ve been published in leading international journals and have also authored and edited celebrated publications. We have extensive editing experience across the social sciences, humanities, arts, and other areas such as business, geography, law, electrical engineering, and more. Our writing experience extends to grant writing and we have strong success in securing competitive awards and funding.
At the core of what we do is an ethical focus. We do things with integrity. But what also makes us different is our sense of fun. When you work with us, you’ll be connecting with real people with personality who will go on an awesome journey through language with you. Six things we love? Dark chocolate, nostalgia, electronic music, doing good, people power, and traipsing across disciplines and industries.

I had a pleasure to work with Nina. I am a non-native English speaker and my PhD thesis required proofreading prior to final submission. Nina has proven to be extremely efficient and an excellent communicator. From the first moment I approached her, our communication was clear and swift. Nina approached proofreading of my thesis seriously and finished her work immaculately.
My personal situation changed due to Covid-19 situation and I had to leave the country sooner than I initially planned. Nina was compassionate and worked through two very long consecutive weekends to help me get home on time. I was more than pleased with the quality of her work, featuring some very insightful comments.
