Why Me?
What makes you the best person for your job?
With 13 years' experience of rendering Parliamentary speeches and committee discussions into grammatically correct, coherent prose, and around five years' experience translating a wide variety of Russian and French documents into English, I can provide a high-quality, reliable product.

What is your best project so far? Why?
Aside from translation, I have edited and proof-read some substantial documents written in English by non-native speakers, and recently went through a 90-page document about teaching methodology. This is the sort of work I can do reliably and quickly.


What do your students / customers say about you?
My clients are pleased with the punctuality and quality of my work.
