I am an experienced public service interpreter, working in both the public and private sectors.
I provide Russian interpreting services for meetings, conferences, and events, for clients looking for consecutive, simultaneous interpreting and liaison.
My experience spans twenty-eight years, providing specialist Russian-to-English and English-to-Russian language services.
I have gained experience working with organisations such as the legal courts, police forces, and the NHS to mention but a few.
Russian Interpreting
I provide cultural insight for my clients and serve as a bridge between the cultural gap between the two countries.
Do you have visitors you need to show around or is there a visit from a Russian delegation to your company, factory, or business?
Utilising the services of a professional interpreter will magnify your efforts and be an excellent bridge between the parties. You will benefit from my impartial advice and courteous and attentive assistance.
I will be as hands-on as you require, either taking the lead in any situation or discretely in the background as an aide. Client confidentiality is of paramount importance to my business; I will never discuss any interpreting work and respect each client’s privacy.
As an interpreter and translation professional, I cover a range of solutions for my clients. Each solution is appropriate for different environments and circumstances. After speaking with you, I will advise which approach is best for you.
Following a stringent assessment by Asian Absolute, Akademik received the following feedback:
“I believe the highest possible score of our evaluation is 105 on all tests, you were scored 100 so that’s splendid!”

Consecutive interpreting, used in situations such as medical appointments and confidential hearings. Simultaneous interpreting is more appropriate for larger audiences, such as international conferences.Remote interpreting – video & telephone

This cost-effective, fast-working solution, is ideal for situations when the need for interpreting arises with little notice and can be accessed any time of day, from anywhere, using any device.Interpreting Rates:
- From £35 per hour, minimum 3 hours.

EXCELLENT! An excellent and fast service! Thank you!
Inga Williams, Private Client
Our clients and our agency are extremely satisfied with Maria’s work and professionalism.
Jessica Triolo, Senior interpreting Project Manager, Global Voices
Maria was one of the best professional interpreters I have ever worked with. The one we could always trust for any project we had. She was always interested and willing to help in any way she could with any project or task even for very last-minute jobs. We always had such good feedback from our clients regarding her performance and attitude in every job she attended. She always focuses on the end result and on being accessible not only by the project managers but also by the end customer. Definitely, a very reliable professional that I have had the opportunity to work with and I wish her all the very best.

Russian is a world language – it can take you around the majority of Eastern Europe, far into Asia and more. By speaking Russian, you can enrich your travels, opening up a whole wealth of culture which would otherwise be inaccessible to you. With Russia in recent years vastly increasing its presence in world politics, there is probably no better time to start learning it, whether that’s for work or for leisure.

My daughter has had lessons with Maria by Skype to prepare for a Russian GCSE. She said that Maria was very helpful and supportive through the process, and has helped her score a grade 9 in her exams.
Janna Knight
Maria has been working for us as a translator of English into Russian for over two years.
She has translated in excess of 25,000 words into Russian during her time working for Lingua (UK). She is prompt in her delivery and remains an important member of our translator panel.

Maria’s training is first-class. As a native Russian, she knows the language inside and out and strikes a good balance between getting you to understand the grammar while also developing your natural speaking skills. She is always punctual and professional and can push you on at a good pace, for business or professional purposes. Highly recommended.
Chris M
I am learning Russian as a beginner with Akademik and I am very grateful for the help and support I get. I find the teacher very patient, knowledgeable and ready to suggest how I can overcome problems as I meet them. I feel as if I am making good progress and enjoy the thorough grounding in the subject that I am getting. I would recommend Akadamik to anyone who is looking to learn, whatever their age or level of language may be.
Sandra M
Maria's approach to language teaching is excellent, striking a perfect balance between practical conversation and grammatical instruction. Whatever your level of ability, she opens up the Russian language to make it accessible and understandable.
Chris McNab, Director, Colourblue Ltd.
Maria is an excellent teacher. She is meticulous and pays attention to all aspects of learning Russian. As well as helping with the intricacies of grammar, Maria is equally attentive to the need to practice everyday language used in Russia. And not only does Maria help teach the language, but she also teaches her students about Russian culture and literature, which really brings the Russian language to life.
Dr. Richard Connolly, Director, Centre for Russian & East European Studies University of Birmingham
I’ve worked with Maria on several occasions. She has always been highly professional and is a pleasure to deal with.

Maria conducted our A level and GCSE Russian oral examinations with great efficiency and professionalism. She put the pupils at ease and managed to get the most out of them in the examinations. I would recommend her without hesitation. Mark BeetBromsgrove School.
