Mentoring

All freelance translators have a lot in common – but we’re all unique. We all have our own struggles and goals.

That’s why I do not offer a set mentoring programme, but instead take the time to really get to know you and tailor my mentoring to your needs.

And that means I can help translators like you transform your mindset, whatever your services or specialisations, at any stage of your career.

All through relaxed, informal video calls organised to suit busy schedules.

So whether you’re:

I can guide you on your journey.

What will your mentoring journey look like?

Every programme will be designed according to your needs. Here’s an idea of what a series of 12 sessions might focus on:

Your profile so far: studies/experience/present status
Your CV: review, rewrite, improve
Your online presence (social media, website): which ones, where, why, how
Breaking the no experience barrier
Your development journey: goals and planning
Your specialisations: which ones, how to start out, how to improve
Your marketing plan: inbound and outbound
Networking skills
Negotiation skills
Pricing models
Your mindset: positivity, self-limiting beliefs, imposter syndrome
Anything else you want us to expand on/focus on

I met Vasiliki a long time at a CIOL conference and attended her session. It was one of the most helpful for both new and seasoned translators. Fast forward a few years I was thrilled when she started mentoring other translators because I really wanted to learn more from her. She is so inspiring, insightful and has plenty of knowledge with an exceptional ability to guide you to look at things from a different perspective, and at the whole picture. I would listen to her talking all day long.
