Qualified certified freelance translator   ATN/APTN

Senior high school EFL teacher & Cambridge Oral Examiner

I was educated in Morocco. I'm a B.A. holder - English linguistics (sociology of education). I have been teaching English as a foreign language, in Morocco, at a senior high school since 1998 after I had held my Certificate in TEFL from ENS (Ecole Normale Supérieure de Rabat 1997-1998). I studied translation for one year (3 hours per week) during my 3rd year at university (1995-1996). I have had the chance to attend various seminars, forums and workshops about TEFL, some of which are online.  I also successfully completed an advanced computer course "Le programme "Intel World Ahead" sponsored by Intel" in April / May 2007 in CPR Taza - Morocco, and it added a lot to my prior computing knowledge. I have also had the privilege to teach English to native speakers of Spanish in Peru in 2007 as a volunteer. It was a rich experience as I was fully immersed in a Latino/Spanish culture.
I'm a polyglot: speaking Berber, Arabic, French, English and Spanish. This versatile linguistic background enhances my communication abilities and promotes my predisposition to negotiate with different cultures. My knowledge of these languages has helped me a great deal translate different texts/documents from and into different languages. I am result-oriented, practical and have tremendous passion for translation and reviewing.
More significantly, I should state that I work within the spirit of a team, for "Deux têtes valent mieux qu'une seule." (Two heads are better that one), if not many. I work with a few colleagues from Peru and Morocco, whom I seize the occasion to thank amply. We are all professionals and we can work under pressure, negotiate meanings and ideas and we always reach, at the end, a sort of scientific consensus. We always tend to work from different perspectives to avoid amalgams and come out with a very qualitative and authoritative work, hopefully. Highly motivated, efficient and punctual freelance translators with many years of experience and intimate knowledge of Arabic, French, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil) and English languages/cultures, we offer our clients an immediate feedback.
