Agreed. And though the word "proofread" is commonly abused this way in 
our field, the proper term for what he needs is an "editor." A 
proofreader properly focuses on very superficial and technical errors 
such as spelling and punctuation, and does not delve into word choices 
or recasting of sentences.
