I feel like I owe this community a massive thank you and also a success story that might help someone else who's where I was six months ago. 
Last semester at Khalifa University, I was genuinely at risk of failing my research methodology course. My paper on renewable energy implementation in the GCC was all over the place, my supervisor's feedback was brutal, and I was losing sleep and confidence. I'd almost given up when I saw a recommendation in an old thread here for a UK-based writer who actually lived in Abu Dhabi and understood both Western academic standards AND the regional context.
I reached out nervously, explained my situation, and asked if she could help me restructure my existing draft rather than starting from scratch. Best decision I ever made!
She didn't just fix my paper—she taught me how to build a proper argument, how to integrate Arabic sources with credibility, and how to address the specific feedback my professor kept giving. The final paper came back at 87%, and more importantly, I actually understand the research process now.
So here's my question for you all: Have you found a "hidden gem" in the UAE writing scene? Someone who's not just a random online service but actually understands our unique academic environment here? Let's share the good ones and help each other succeed!

This is exactly why I love this forum—real people sharing real solutions. I'm at UAE University and struggling with my thesis on desalination economics. My supervisor keeps saying "this isn't rigorous enough" but won't explain what that means. 
Would you be willing to share the writer's contact? (Mods, hope that's allowed!) The "understands regional context" part is crucial—my last attempt at help was a random online service and they clearly didn't understand GCC policy structures. So frustrating. So happy it worked out for you, man. Gives the rest of us hope!
