Why did I become a trainer & translator?
One of the reasons why I came to Austria was to help people. At the end of each day I wanted to feel I had accomplished something and teaching English seemed a natural fit for me. My love of the English language and my desire to support people in a variety of professions made English language training an easy choice.
What motivates me? What do I like best about my profession?
Helping people succeed and follow their dreams brings me the most satisfaction of all. The ability to connect with people from a wide variety of backgrounds and see them develop talents they never knew they had, particularly in English, is simply fantastic.
What do I like to teach or translate?
I love hearing students talk about their passions with confidence in English. Getting them to this level of language ability is a goal I always strive for. In translation I enjoy working on a project and being able to see the results.
Why do I work with CasaLinguae?
I met Martina and knew pretty much right away that she was my type of person – straight forward, open and warm. I’m excited to work with CasaLinguae.
