Hi, My name is Elena, and I'm an Italian freelance translator and EU accredited conference interpreter specialized in EU politics and legal translation. I work from English, German, French and Portuguese into Italian. I recently completed a Master's degree in legal translation, and I'm looking to complement my interpreting activity with translation in the fields I'm passionate about. I'd love to get a chance to work with you!
I graduated in 1994 as a teacher in Italy. Initially, and for the first 4 years I worked as a special education teacher for disabled children of various age, from elementary grades to high school grades. Since 2000, I began my decade experience in teaching Italian to foreign children and their parents. I have a history of creating programs for interactive learning of the TPR.
The way the system is set up here, it allows me to only say that I translate from English to Italian, but obviously I can do the reverse, being that I'm well versed in both languages and teach both for a living. I didn't check ALL areas of expertise but I'm interested in the challenge of ANY of them. My rate is negotiable if you're on a budget, particularly if your project interests me. I prefer loose deadlines but I'll take a tight one if I have the time. I have 44 five-star references.
Experienced translator. Fast and accurate. Available.
Postgraduate Degree in Interpreting and Translating Studies (English, Russian and French). Over the last 5 years I've started to develop a widespread knowledge in translation, in particular from English into Italian, French into Italian and Russian into Italian. Possible reverse combinations and/or mixed combinations such as Russian into English. Along with translations, I focus on chuchotage, escort and consecutive interpreting.
