Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Currently a full time Chinese/English interpreter, I provide consecutive interpretation service for courts, banks, insurance companies, government agencies, healthcare agencies and all walks of life. I have been a part time language (English as a second language, Mandarin, and Cantonese) tutor for over 18 years with students/clients from all over the world (Australia, Brazil, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, South Korea, Singapore, the Philippines, UK and U.S.A) ranging between 3 and 65 years of age. My experience also includes full-time (7hrs/day and 5 days/week) personal tutor with a bilingual (English/Mandarin) child. Teaching methods and materials are custom-designed and personalized as I believe every individual has unique talents and needs in learning. Graduated with a bachelor of degree in (English/Chinese) Translation in 2010, I have been a freelance translator for 8 years specializing in academic, education, literature, lifestyle, healthcare, and business texts. I love people, languages, and teaching! There is nothing more enjoyable and satisfying than combining my favorite things together and making them my lifelong career!
