Allison White
Introduction: I am a doctoral candidate at Tulane University, completing my PhD in Spanish with a dissertation on contemporary Latin American literature.
I offer translation (Spanish to English) and Spanish lessons, as well as all types of editing.
I have several years of experience in teaching Spanish at the college level in addition to the editing and translation work my PhD has required.
I enjoy the problem solving of editing, translating, and teaching Spanish.
Language used at any level is like a puzzle to be solved. How do we take the pieces we have to make meaning and be understood?
I especially take pleasure in teaching grammar, as I have learned several languages (beyond Spanish) myself and can help my students approach the structure of language from many angles.

Allison helped me with my personal statement for medical residency applications. She did an awesome job editing and guiding me through a rewrite of the piece, and is a really careful reader who is obviously very used to working with people to improve their work. I think she struck a really good balance between giving specific feedback to improve the piece and maintaining a positive tone. I was really happy with the results and received many positive comments on my personal statement throughout the interview season. I would definitely have her edit my work again, and would recommend her to anyone else in the same situation.

Allison read my paper right away and gave incredibly useful feedback. She provided extensive and thoughtful edits and sat with me to discuss how the paper could be improved while staying in my own words and keeping my own message.
