I have found the perfect resource me when it comes to proofreading and looking for errors and that resource is paperrater.com.( https://www.paperrater.com) This website allows me to copy and paste my papers into an automated proof reading software that proof reads my papers for me.

If I let a peer proof read my paper their responses could be wrong and I could end up correcting something that was right in the first
