French-English-Swahili Translator | Live Interpreter | Language Tutor

I am a professional trilingual translator and live interpreter (French-English-Swahili), helping individuals, churches, organizations, and businesses communicate with clarity, accuracy, and cultural understanding. Born and raised in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a French-speaking country, I am a native French and Swahili speaker, fluent in English, with a strong academic foundation in language and translation. What I can help you with: - Translation (FR/EN/SW) : books, documents, CVs, certificates, essays, reports, emails, and more - Live Interpretation (Simultaneous & Consecutive) : Zoom meetings, sermons, conferences, presentations, interviews - Language Tutoring : improve English listening, speaking, confidence, and fluency - Proofreading & Editing : make your content natural, clear, and professional Language pairs: - English-French - English-Swahili - French-Swahili Why clients work with me: - Bachelor’s degree in English Studies (Literature, Translation & Linguistics) - Strong mastery of both written and spoken English - Careful attention to details, meaning, tone, and nuance, not just word-for-word translation - Reliable delivery, clear communication, and professional collaboration - Experience interpreting in real-life settings: meetings, sermons, speeches, and presentations Technical advantage: In addition to language expertise, I have working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which helps me support projects involving website content translation, basic localization, and text formatting, while maintaining a clean and professional structure. I am committed to delivering work that is accurate, natural, and audience-ready. If you need a translator who respects details and meaning, or an interpreter who helps communication flow smoothly in real time, I am ready to support your project. Let’s work together to remove language barriers and make your message clear.
