Freelance
Japanese and French to English translator

After studying Modern History at St.Anne's college, Oxford University, I studied Japanese and taught English at Daiichi Keizai university in Fukuoka. I then passed level two of the Japanese International Proficiency Test after that one year.
Since then I have had a few years of working experience including times as an English language teacher at the Elizabeth Johnson Organisation, at Hammersmith, Ealing and West London college as well as Woking college. I have also worked at a National Autistic Society school and three primary schools in year four as a teaching assistant.
 In my role at Loseley Fields school in Godalming I taught the class French as well as working in small groups with students across the curriculum. In 2014 I passed the Department for Education tests in literacy and numeracy. 
I have translated Japanese to English articles in Wikipedia  and for blogs and have translated French to English articles for Wikipedia and for Novastan, a website dedicated to news and stories about central Asia. I am looking to translate more in those languages and on the side am learning German and Portuguese as well but am not yet proficient enough in those two languages to translate.
