About CiteWithMe
CiteWithMe isn't your average citation generator – it's an educational referencing tool, that I built to make citing and referencing simpler, clearer, and easier for students to understand and apply.
Background
As a computing and web development lecturer (LinkedIn), with over 12 years of experience in Further and Higher Education, I've graded countless assignments – and I've lost track of how many times students have shared their struggles with referencing.
Even with their best efforts, I still notice those pesky and avoidable citation mistakes, that end up costing students valuable marks and higher grades.
That's why I decided to build a set of reliable citation generators.
Built for Real Students, Solving Real Problems
Most citation tools churn out a reference but leave you in the dark about why it's formatted that way. They don't break down how referencing actually works, or help you grasp the rules behind it.
I wanted to do better — to create a tool that not only generates accurate citations, but also fosters genuine learning along the way.
CiteWithMe is quick, precise, and educational. It provides you with the reference you need and the insights to understand it. Whether you're tackling an essay, report, or research paper, it empowers you to cite accurately and with confidence.
Why Use CiteWithMe?
- ✅ Built for students, by a lecturer who gets it
- ⚡ Fast and trustworthy citation and referencing formats
- 💡 Designed to teach, not just generate
- 🎓 Improves understanding, not just grades
My Mission
Referencing can be a confusing topic — even for well-intentioned students and time-strapped educators. CiteWithMe exists to make Harvard referencing (and other citation styles) simpler, more accessible, and genuinely educational for everyone involved.
I created CiteWithMe to bridge the gap between unreliable auto-citation and tedious forms — by giving students fast, editable, and accurate citation examples that teach them how to reference correctly.
If it saves you time, boosts your confidence, and helps you achieve the grade you deserve, then I've accomplished my goal.
Resources For Educators — Coming Soon
Referencing shouldn't just be assessed — it should be taught. But, I know from experience that teaching it isn't always easy, especially when time is limited and students are all at different stages.
That's why I'll soon be sharing free teaching resources to help educators bring CiteWithMe into the classroom, support their students, and make citing and referencing easier for everyone.
