Statement: I am a native speaker of Estonian who has lived both in Sweden and in the UK. I graduated from Tallinn Pedagogical University, where I received a teaching qualification along with a degree in Swedish and English languages and literature. My academic background lies within the theoretical linguistics. In my research I focused on the morpho-syntax of Estonian with special reference to definiteness. Since 2006 I have been translating and interpreting professionally on freelance basis in the UK. I started teaching languages in 1991 and I have been working with both pre- and school age children, university students and adults.
