Our services
Our services reflect our professional and personal journeys. Over many years, we have lived, worked, and conducted research in various countries, supporting people in a wide range of contexts. These experiences have given rise to a broad range of expertise, which we now bring together in our work.
We combines linguistic precision with academic expertise and intercultural understanding. We support individuals (e.g., students) and institutions with translation, editing, and interpreting services, as well as with academic projects, methodological questions, expert reports, and presentations.
The diversity of our services is no coincidence; rather, it is a reflection of our diverse backgrounds. It enables us to respond flexibly to different needs and offer tailored solutions to complex challenges.
Translations
We offer accurate translations in various languages, placing particular emphasis on linguistic quality and cultural sensitivity. Good translations convey not only words, but also meanings, contexts, and linguistic nuances. We help individuals, businesses, researchers, and institutions communicate effectively across language barriers. Our language pairs include German, English, Georgian, Polish, Ukrainian and Russian.
English proofreading
For more than 25 years, Michael Dobbins has been editing academic and other English-language texts for students, researchers, professionals, and private individuals. His work focuses not only on grammar and style, but above all on precision, readability, and the effective communication of your content. Thanks to his keen sense of language, he picks up on linguistic nuances, tones, and meanings that automated proofreading tools and AI applications often overlook. The result is text that is not only linguistically correct but also compelling, authentic, and easy to read.
Interpreting
Mariam Parsadanishvili offers professional interpreting services in the language combinations German, Russian, and Georgian. She accompanies people to court hearings, doctor’s appointments, and therapy sessions. A particular focus of her work is on linguistic and cultural mediation for people who have experienced displacement and trauma. Thanks to her many years of experience, high level of sensitivity, and great reliability, she helps foster understanding, trust, and orientation even in challenging situations.
Intercultural Communication
Successful international collaboration requires more than just good language skills - it also demands an understanding of cultural differences, expectations, and communication styles. We support companies and individuals in their collaboration with partners in Eastern Europe and the United States through practical workshops and consulting services. In doing so, we provide in-depth knowledge of cultural nuances, prepare international teams for collaboration, and promote respectful and effective communication across national and cultural boundaries.
Research and Expertise
We provide academic expertise for research, policy, civil society, and international cooperation. Our services include the preparation of expert reports and policy papers, research in various languages, and academic consulting on political and social issues. In addition, we design and deliver presentations and moderate specialized events and panels. In doing so, we combine in-depth academic analysis with many years of international experience and a practical approach to complex challenges.

Academic work repeatedly presents students and doctoral candidates with substantive and methodological challenges. I support you in developing research questions, selecting appropriate methods, analyzing data, and with academic writing and publishing. In doing so, I combine many years of experience in research and teaching with personalized, practical guidance. My goal is to help you carry out academic projects successfully, efficiently, and with greater confidence.
