I was born and raised in London, England, studied chemistry and safety & technology at the Haagse Hogeschool Afdeling Techniek in The Hague, Holland, and have lived in the United States and Venezuela. In Venezuela I ran a language school for 15 years after which I rolled into the world of translations. Thanks to my background, I am familiar with American as well as
British linguistic usage. After my first year as a full time translator in which I was
offered a great variety of translation projects, I concluded that a translator
must specialize to really deliver quality work. A good translation requires a
thorough knowledge of the subject and the target group, both in the source language
and the target language. That is why I decided to specialise solely in fields
I already have experience in and that are of my interest. I do not accept
jobs that are outside my fields of expertise, so the quality of your
translation is guaranteed. Check below under "Fields of expertise". I have been a full-time translator since 2003. Fields of expertise: Peter van der Hoek Translations exclusively offers Dutch to English and English to Dutch translations
in the following fields of expertise: - Safety (chemical
safety, safety on the work floor, fire safety, etc.) - Technical (automotive,
manuals, engineering, etc.) - Legal (tenders, contracts, etc.) - Management (management related translations) - General (translations based on general
knowledge) |
