What I'm looking for

I seek roles in translation, localization, or tutoring where I can apply language expertise, refine subtitling and CAT-tool skills, and contribute to collaborative, quality-focused teams.

I am a dedicated translator and English tutor with a Master’s background in English Philology and Translation Studies from the University of Gdańsk. I have hands-on experience translating conference materials, subtitles, and transcription work, and I provide tutoring and remedial classes for elementary and high-school students while preparing tailored educational materials.

I am organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently or as part of a team. I bring advanced proficiency in CAT and subtitle tools, strong proofreading and editing capabilities, and a collaborative, student-focused approach that supports learning outcomes and high-quality localized content.
