Conference Interpreting
Simultaneous Interpreting
Simultaneous interpreting is the gold standard for international conferences and large events. As a conference interpreter providing real-time interpreting, I render the speaker's message as they speak, allowing participants to follow proceedings without interruption, typically with only a 2–3 second delay.

Remote Options
Remote Simultaneous Interpreting (RSI)

Testimonials
What clients say
"Stefania was outstanding with her swift service translating my estratto dell'atto following my marriage in Italy. I required my marriage certificate to be translated to English for a UK passport change of name. Within 2 hours I had a response with the service she could provide and within 48 hours I had the necessary translation document in my emails. Thank you Stefania!"
"Stefania was recommended to us by one of her previous clients - and what a great recommendation! We were looking for a professional native speaker to check a manuscript for a new vocabulary resource we published for IB Diploma learners. Stefania did a wonderful job, tightly following our brief and providing her carefully-considered corrections clearly so that they were easy for the editor to implement. Her work was always submitted promptly and she kept in regular touch. Thank you, Stefania - we wouldn't hesitate to work with you again!"
"I worked with Stefania on an Italian vocabulary revision book for an educational publisher: she read the MSS and checked proofs. She responded quickly to various queries about the language, advising in a way that was always clear and helpful. She did a good thorough job and was a pleasure to work with, and I'd certainly recommend her for proofreading and/or Italian language checking."
