About me

Tom and Linda Carlson

As a husband-and-wife team with complementary strengths, we can divide up projects accordingly, but also work closely together to edit and proofread each other’s work to ensure quality. In our years as trainers in business English and in tertiary education we have developed the expertise needed to very quickly research and understand any given specialized field in order to teach the related language areas, and we bring this expertise to bear on our translating work. Our Master’s level Linguistics and TEFL education gives us a solid basis for making stylistic decisions while translating.

Tom Carlson has been a language, communications and intercultural awareness trainer in the business English field for over twenty years. Since 1998 he has carried out a managerial role as Director of Studies of a local branch of a large business language training company. A native of Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA, Tom studied German, Linguistics, English, History and language pedagogy at universities in the US and Germany and holds a Master’s in Teaching English as a Foreign Language. Stuttgart, Germany has been his home since 1988, and he has worked on a wide range of translation and interpreting projects over the years.

Linda Carlson has been a language, communications and inter-cultural awareness trainer in secondary, tertiary and in-service business English for over fifteen years. She also has a wide range of proofreading and editing experience, having earned a B.A. in Journalism from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee during which she was a reporter and editor at several papers. In Linda’s present position, as a lecturer in a University English Department, a majority of her work is the teaching of writing and translation to advanced-level university students. She has been doing a variety of freelance projects in translating, editing and proofreading for websites, advertising, academics and various business fields for the last 6 years.
