It is always a good idea to have your texts proofread, especially ones that have been translated in Eastern Europe. Translators there are often very competent but they are generally academically taught and do not necessarily have the same feel for the language as someone who lives and works in England.

The correct style, awareness of cultural sensitivities and modern expressions are all things that are worth double-checking before sending a mailshot or publishing a brochure. It will save you money in the long run.

Russian grammar is very complicated. I have seen a lot of translations with very poor punctuation, which dramatically undermines the quality and presentation of the document.

I also provide:

• Transcription and translation of audiotapes, and translation of documents over the telephone.
• Certified and/or notarised translation of documents*.

*Documents which usually require certification and/or notarisation: diplomas; school certificates; transcripts; student records; birth, marriage, divorce certificates, and many others. Please check with the organisation that requested the translated document whether the document requires certification and/or notarisation.

Russian Language Tuition is my passion. I teach mainly one to one and small groups for personal and business purposes.

I shall tailor your tuition to suit your needs.
