I'm a professional translator, editor and language teacher offering translation services into English and Russian from a variety of language pairs. Born in Russia and schooled in Canada, I am a native speaker of English and Russian with a liberal arts degree from York University in Toronto, where I completed a French studies minor. Having spent my third year of undergraduate studies in France as an exchange student, I immersed myself in the French language and received the DALF C1 certificate in May 2007. I also lived one year in Peru, where mastered bilingual fluency in Spanish.
During the last four years, I lived in Tokyo Japan, where I taught English as a Second Language in public and private schools while offering freelance translation and interpreting services to private clients. As a writer and editor I have outstanding proof reading skills in English and Russian.
