Translation teachers
Meet your teachers
Our supportive teachers will use their expertise to help you be a more successful translator.

Gwenydd Jones
Founder of The Translator’s Studio and lead tutor for Spanish, MA, DipTransIOLET, Chartered linguist
Gwen knows how to help you quickly become a confident professional translator. Want to know her secret? The right blend of passion for her art and teaching ability. Added to that is the DipTrans, two MA degrees (translation studies and legal translation), a BA in French and Spanish and about 15 years working as a freelance translator, editor and writer. All this will go into supporting you in achieving your goals.
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 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.
