​Remote video interpreting

Communication entails far more than just the words spoken and my preferred method of enabling Polish-English communication is face-to-face interpreting, but I am also able to provide remote interpreting for virtual meetings. I can join your chosen platform (such as Zoom or Teams) and interpret for you and Polish speakers. I am well equipped to do so as I have a private room, a reliable internet connection and good audio and video.
