I am a Czech national who has lived in England for 12 years. Following completion of a Degree in English, I taught ESOL at a Private Secondary School in the UK. I also studied a Trinity College course to teach ESOL to adult learners.
I have a formal training qualification in translation, through the City University London's Diploma in Translation and in 2005 I become a Member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists. In 2009 I gained a DPSI qualification in English Law option. I currently work as a freelance translator and proofreader for a subtitling company based in the USAand I travel round the region (North East England) as an interpreter. I am keen to develop my professional skills in various areas of translation and interpreting.
I regularly visit the Czech Republic to keep in contact with family and friends as well as cultural and political development of the country.
Based from home, I have all necessary hardware, software and web connectivity to ensure that I can deliver services effectively to any organisation worldwide. Prices are based on a per-word rate, following the ITI's guidelines and are negotiable (in the region of Ł65/100words or $15/100words depending on circumstaces).
My recent work includes a DVD version of a catalogue for Moravian Gallery to accompany an exhibition about Art Restoraion, website for a Czech sculptor exhibiting in NY or work-related questionaires for a large international company as well as medical translations for patient use.
