Laura_Certified_Translator_Leiden

Hi! I’m Laura, a busy bee when it comes to language. Avid gardener that thrives on seeing plants and people grow.

As a certified English <> Dutch translator, I enjoy solving the riddle of comparing and contasting terminology in different legal systems. I make sure your documents are signed and stamped for the next step in your emigration or immigration process.

Variety is the spice of life. So I also guide working professionals in their quest to get better at English or Dutch. Even though you can have everything translated in English or Dutch automatically, you create more valuable connections if you can call or talk to your clients, suppliers or colleagues in real time? Especially when many things are done automatically, building relationships is what sets you apart. Get in touch to boost your (Business) English or Dutch skills!

Contact me for a free consultation if you could use some help in the language department. The more specific your request, the better I can help you. But don’t hesitate to contact me with vague wishes either. I’m happy to chat about the perfect solution for your unique situation!

Struggling to find the right words when talking to colleagues?

Spruce up your Dutch and chatter away about your weekend, the quality of the coffee or, in a more serious manner, your secondary working conditions!

APIARY

/ˈeɪ.pi.ə.ri/

A place where people keep bees

What’s with all the bees and why The Apiary?

Well, there’s not just one reason:

  • Bees are the backbone of our ecosystem.

  • I’ve always been fascinated by insects and the smallest of creatures.

  • Gardening is one of my very favourite hobbies, not in the least because of the joy of walking through a garden thrumming with humming.

  • Everyone needs an unrealistic dream. Mine is to one day have an apiary. A luscious garden teeming with tiny golden creatures and a multitude of flowers, herbs and vegetables.

Follow the Apiary!
