Proofreading for college-aged kid?

Just a note on writing centers: at the schools I work at, writing centers do NOT proofread. Or edit, for that matter. They’re more to help with working through the thinking on an essay, outllining, structure, revision strategies, etc. So telling a student to go there for proofreading, or a “set of eyes” will not work. I’m not saying there are no writing centers that will do that, but it would be outside the norm.
