About me...
I'm Helen Spottiswoode, a qualified, professional translator and English teacher, based near Toulouse. I am a native British English speaker, originally from the south of England, and have been running Indigo English since 2016.
In a previous life I worked in Sales & Marketing for a global packaging company. Feeling the need for a change, I returned to my academic roots and started a freelance career based on translation, proofreading and teaching English.
I love what I do, and am always eager for new challenges. I believe that my customer-service focus, flexibility, efficiency and accuracy make me an ideal language services partner for you and your organisation. If you have a project you would like to discuss, then please get in touch!
