SUMMARY (you can also visit the CV sections)

I hold the Diploma in Translation from the Chartered Institute of Linguists (Business and Law - From English into French) and I am a Member of the Institute of Linguists.

I am currently working as a freelance Translator and Proofreader from English to French. I mainly translate educational, literary, commercial and legal materials but also documents of a more general nature.

I am also working as a freelance Writer and Copy-Editor: I write educational material in French (such as teachers' notes, articles, fictions and transcriptions). I have also recently completed a novel for children entitled "Le Pacte des Bouffons" (available on www.lulu.com and www.amazon.com ) and I am now working on a new project for younger children.

I have substantial teaching experience as a Tutor and a Teacher of French as a Foreign Language in England and as a Teacher of English as a Foreign Language in France. I am qualified in both countries (I hold the CAPES, equivalent of the PGCE).
