About me
Born in London and later brought up in Holland, I am native in 2 languages. I worked as a language teacher and translator in Venezuela for the last 15 years. In 1999 I started to develop Spanish, English and Dutch language courses. In 2001 I was involved in my first court case as an interpreter and by now I have been an interpreter in over 100 cases. For the last 6 years I have been a full time freelance translator.

Coming from the educational world I understand like no other what languages are about. I fully understand that translating isn't simply putting words from one language into another, but it should be a written interpretation of what the customer actually wants to say.

As a translator I decided to specialize in the fields I am most interested in, such as legal, technical and safety related translations. Of course, I still offer a large variety of other translations.

On time delivery and high quality translations are guaranteed. I refuse to make promises I cannot keep. In the unlikely event that you do not not receive your translation on time, you will not receive an invoice and the translation will be free. In 15 years as a translator, however, I have always received payment.

I'm looking forward to working with you.

With kind regards,

Peter van der Hoek
