Hello,
My mother tongue is English (British citizen), but I was raised in Switzerland and grew up speaking German. I have native speaker-level German (certified level C2, by the Goethe Institut), earned my BA (Honours) from the University of Oxford, and am training as a TEFL-certified English instructor, so I have a sound grasp of both languages (including US-UK spelling variations).
With 20 years' experience in freelance translation and multilingual copy-editing/proofreading, covering CVs, business proposals, finance, and arts and culture (gallery and museum exhibits, literature, etc.), I understand the importance of getting your texts just right in English, and my fluency in German means I understand all the subtleties of the original text. I guarantee quality, precision, seriousness, and transparency.
My name's Matthew. Please don't hesitate to get in touch; I'll be happy to help.
