ARE YOU FED UP WITH AMATEUR TRANSLATION THAT IS JUST AWKWARD AND CLUMSY?
ARE YOU TIRED OF PAYING FOR ADDITIONAL CORRECTION FOR BAD TRANSLATION WORK?

Then you found the right person for you! I'm a native speaker in Korean who received early education and higher education in English speaking countries - so the translation that I provide never smells like it's been translated.

I have 15 yrs of translating/interpreting, and teaching experience. I hold CELTA - Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. I taught business English to top management at Fortune 500 Korean companies such as Samsung Electronics, Samsung Chemical, SK Telecom, etc.

I have a B.A. in English and a Diploma in Marketing and Project Management: I worked in Business and Marketing sector during the last 8 years. Business/marketing jargons are some of my favorite words that I enjoy to work with. However, a great amount of my past work also involves science/medical translation, technical/engineering translation, and also translation of art and history related documents.
