My other skills
I am a person who loves to communicate and help others to communicate effectively.
If you have a document which needs to be in good understandable English, I may well be able to help you.
Writing and translating
These are the kinds of things I could put into effective English for you:
- CVs (résumés)
- Employee references (“Arbeitszeugnisse”)
- Brochures / pamphlets / notices
- Advertising materials / slogans
- Websites
- Presentations (I can help not only with getting the text right, but I can also help you present it effectively).
I have gained a lot of experience recently in translating legal documents (contracts, general terms and conditions and related website material) from German into English.
Proofreading documents in English
Many people these days have to write documents in English for school, college or work: dissertations, theses, technical papers and so on.
If you’re sure about your area of expertise, but not so sure about your English, I’d be glad to help you by proofreading your document. There is no such thing as a perfect document, but I can help you by finding the most typical problems of grammar, style and clarity.
And don’t worry if the subject matter is very complex: I have proofread some very specialised technical documents.

(New address from 24th March 2018)
If you are travelling from Rüti / Wolfhausen, drive past the Hombrechtikon place-name sign for about 300 metres and turn right into Tödistrasse, just before the Tobel bus stop.
Approaching from Hombrechtikon
If you are approaching from the centre of Hombrechtikon, follow the signs to Rüti. At the Tobel junction (the Methodist Church is on the left) turn left. Tödistrasse is the next turning on the left, just past the Tobel bus stop.
The entrance to our new flat is about 100 metres from the junction with Rütistrasse, on the left-hand side of the road.
The house number is number 9 and we are on the first floor.
There are a few visitor’s parking bays a short distance beyond the entrance, on the left.
Arriving by bus
If you arrive by bus from Bubikon, get off the bus at Tobel and follow Tödiweg until you get to Tödistrasse. Our house is on the right.
