Dear Clients and Visitors

The year 2021 will soon be laid to rest. And despite all of the uncertainty that the year appeared to hold at the start, I was fortunate enough to be able to continue providing quality translation and editing work at reasonable prices.

This autumn, the teaching side of my business grew considerably. However, unlike previous years almost all the training courses I now run are online. I would like to thank all the students for their enthusiasm and commitment to learning through Zoom and Teams. I believe that online training will continue to be popular next year.

The translation side of my business has been strong throughout the whole of 2021. Once again, I would like to thank all my regular clients for your unwavering support and trust in my abilities to deliver quality work on time.

During this autumn, I have also continued to work on a parttime basis in a local secondary school, helping pupils with special needs. This has been a serendipitous venture that started because of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. I will be continuing to work there parttime next spring as I find it very rewarding and educational.

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Dear Customers

2020 has been a challenging year for everybody.  Since March, the COVID 19 coronavirus has managed to disrupt people’s lives in very many ways as governments tackle the spread of the disease. Almost all companies in the energy sector switched to teleworking, which was especially noticeable within company training. Suddenly courses were moved to distance learning or cancelled altogether. Some students even found themselves furloughed and economic hardship became an uncomfortable reality for far too many.

Still, there have been a few positive events this year. The translation and writing activities in my business have remained as strong as before. And I was lucky to be able to use the free time I gained as a result of cancelled trainings to work in a secondary school for a term.

The opportunity I had to help pupils requiring extra support gave me a great insight into modern teaching methods and new tools for learning. And I was very impressed with the dedication and professionalism shown by all the teachers and assistants that I worked with there. I will certainly be using many of the new skills I learnt when company training courses start again in the future, which I hope will be possible in Autumn 2021.

I would like to wish all my customers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
