You Words
That Work.
WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU
Hi, I'm Michael
And I'm here to help.
​
I am a freelance writer, translator and teacher of English as a second language, and I really dig my mother tongue. Whether serving up fresh bowls of crisp content, guiding a student along the path to English fluency, or hunting down "le mot juste" until it simply has nowhere to hide, my happy place is where the words are. And whatever your project, whatever your goal, I'm here to make sure that those words flow.​
Born and raised in Montreal, I am a Concordia University graduate with a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature and a Minor in Chinese Language and Culture. I am TESOL certified, with additional certification in online English teaching. On the writing and translation fronts, I have worked in areas as diverse as real estate, cannabis transformation and fine dining. This includes as a content writer, translator and undercover critic (shhh!) for consecutive publications of the prestigious and world-renowned restaurant guidebook, Gault & Millau. Speaking of things that go yum, I am the co-creator and principal writer for The Hungry Herald, a food travel blog bursting with the tasties which I encourage you to sink your teeth into tout de suite.
A passionate student of languages, I am currently doing my best to juggle six of them. Try Finnish. I dare you.
​
When I'm not tinkering with a sentence to get it just right, or teaching the nuts and bolts of English, I can probably be found practicing Taichi somewhere, enthusiastically taking pictures of plants, or cooking up a downright storm for my wife.

TRANSLATION
FRENCH & SPANISH TO ENGLISH
Bonjour! ¡Mucho gusto!
As an experienced translator and student of several languages, I know all too well how things can get lost in the linguistic shuffle. Automated translation services can indeed be practical, but I've found myself having to clean up the mess they leave behind on more than one occasion... We're still not quite there yet. Until we are, there’s nothing like an actual living, speaking, reading and writing human being when it comes to translating a word or phrase in just the right way. And you have one right here.
I am at your disposal for fluid and flawless translations from French and Spanish into English. Whether it be a website, a novel, or even a menu, I handle all types of content, documents, styles and formats, always with unwavering respect for the source material, and always in the timeliest fashion.
Merci et à bientôt!
¡Gracias y hasta pronto!
