“Luisina is diligent and devoted to her work. I worked with her closely for several years and throughout our time together, she consistently delivered impeccable work. She is an excellent writer, an eagle-eyed proof reader and quality checker, and a valuable teammate who always found ways to make our ways of working better. It was a pleasure to collaborate with her and I hope to have the opportunity to do so again!”

“Luisina Ortiz is a highly qualified translator who is capable of performing technical translations with specific scientific and legal terminology. She can translate Spanish to English and vice versa, and is skilled at doing so in presentations (e.g. power point) as well as documents. Luisina is a consummate professional and a delight to work with.”

“Luisina has proved to be a most dedicated and competent teacher. In every aspect of revealing the language to me, she is expert. Luisina has the capacity to make grammar accessible and even enjoyable! In addition, her fulsome embrace of literature, both Spanish and English, brings, for me, a profound appreciation of the melody of languages. I have valued her dedication to teaching, always eager to go the extra mile to vivify this lovely language. Luisina’s granular knowledge of the language continues to astound me.”

“As a teacher, not only has Luisina brought a wealth of experience and understanding of translation and language acquisition (including her own impeccable language skills), but she has offered her own initiative and insight to the enrichment of the programme. Luisina is highly adaptable and responsive. She was a key part of the curriculum design process and was able to fuse her understanding of more academic principles with the specific challenges faced by aid workers who need to communicate with Spanish-speaking refugees and migrants. When we determined to need for a component on psychological first aid, Luisina took the lead in researching the topic and providing translated guides which we now hope to distribute across the country to police stations, immigration offices and NGO workplaces.”

“I have had many language teachers over the many years (having studied, German, Italian, Portuguese and little Arabic) and none are as thorough and fun as Luisina. Her bright personality and inherent enthusiasm for languages are apparent in every lesson, which make it an absolute joy to study with her. She brings not only a deep understanding of Spanish, she generously supplements the usual and necessary repertoire of language learning exercises with poetry, short stories, movie clips, song lyrics and more to make each lesson new and engaging. I am continually amazed at the vast arena of multidisciplinary material she brings to classes each week.”

“I hired Luisina to work with me on translation projects when she was just starting out. She was reliable, communicative, and a pleasure to work with, besides being great at her craft. I feel fortunate to have connected with her.”

“Working with Lu has been an amazing journey of inspiration, as she fosters a collaborative environment where everyone feels valued and heard, making teamwork seamless and enjoyable. Moreover, she precisely approaches every task, ensuring nothing is overlooked and delivering exceptional results. Beyond her technical skills, her willingness to support others stands out since she’s always ready to offer guidance, feedback, or simply a listening ear, creating a positive and encouraging atmosphere for the entire team. Her dedication, professionalism, and genuine care for her work and colleagues make her someone you’ll always want on your team.”

“Luisina was a pleasure to work with! Her English-to-Spanish translation work is excellent and well-researched. She is thoughtful, communicative, and organized. I was lucky to be her client for over a year.”
