Language tuition undertaken to provide primarily one-to-one and group tuition specialising in intermediate and advanced levels. General conversation, languages for business and exam preparations. The sessions are completely learner-centred, taking into account their personal interest (e.g. literature, movies, country & culture, current affairs etc.).

Transcription work undertaken for both agencies as well as direct clients in the UK and Germany, dealing with a wide variety of subjects, including IT, law and medical.

Collaboration:
Due to an excellent partnership with a proven team of qualified professional translators, other language combinations can be covered as well.

Availability:
All year round including school holidays.

Pricing:
Pricing is determined by several factors, e.g.:
- number of source words
- complexity of the subject matter
- formatting of the source file
- time required to complete the assignment
Editing, proofreading and transcription services as well as language tuition are charged by the hour.
