“Mr. Smith has fulfilled all the demands made on him in the very best way and to a far above-average standard. In particular, his translation work is of excellent quality, as Mr. Smith has already produced several translations for one of our more demanding customers. In addition to his first-class translations, Mr. Smith’s job is to train the communication skills of our non-native-speaking customers, both in their professional and everyday lives. Thanks to a clear and comprehensible structure as well as a creative and practice-oriented lesson plan, the participants were able to expand their knowledge considerably after only a short time. Mr. Smith succeeded in the best sense of the word in inspiring and motivating the participants for his lessons. In his incredibly competent manner and with his enormous detailed knowledge, Mr. Smith is able to prepare our course participants for a wide range of topics. For example, dialogues are practised, written correspondence is improved and general communication skills are trained. We will continue to use Mr. Smith’s services in the future and can recommend him without reservation.” – OS
