I was born in Belgium to Flemish parents, so my native language is theoretically Dutch, but I lived for 6 years in Portugal, followed by 18 years in the UK and am now living in Brazil, which is why my first language pair is PORTUGUESE>ENGLISH followed by DUTCH>ENGLISH.

I worked for over 12 years in publishing in London, specializing in Children's literature. So, anything for or about children, be it stories or educational material would be my strongest field.

However, since living in Bahia, Brazil I have done a fair amount of translating for the real estate and tourism industries, and am quite familiar with these areas.

Being a mother of two small children, and speaking English at home every day, I am obviously very familiar with anything to do with family and domestic life, both in Portuguese and English.

I teach English to children of all ages as well as adults.
