Sarah Bowyer translator

Sarah Bowyer

Lead tutor for French, MA, DipTransIOLET, PgDLtion

Sarah is an award-winning freelance translator and qualified solicitor. She’s one of those rare translators who pass the DipTrans exam on their first attempt. That, combined with a first-class languages degree from Cambridge means she has heaps of knowledge to help you develop your translation skills and career. Having spent a decade working as a solicitor, law is her main specialism. But don’t think she’s all about contracts and court cases. She also translates for one of football’s governing bodies and will be pleased to chat about the beautiful game with you.

Miguel Martín is a webmaster and project manager

Miguel Martín Sánchez

Webmaster and project manager

Miguel is our techy and the one behind much of what you see here. You’ll find him to be both knowledgeable and friendly. That’s why he’s also our project manager and the one running our inbox. Miguel will likely be your first point of contact with The Translator’s Studio. He loves languages and speaks great English. But feel free to write to him in Spanish if you want to practise. When he manages to escape from behind the computer, you’ll find him on a mountainside.
