German/English interpreting in many situations

Interpreting

I'm not a sworn interpreter because I majored in translation at the university, which prevents me from interpreting in court and for notaries public. However, I can and do interpret in many other situations. For example:

Marriages, if one or both of the future spouses doesn’t speak German
Helping clients communicate with the authorities, such as the Foreigners Office (Ausländeramt), the municipal authorities, the police, the civil registry office (Standesamt) or the Labor Office (Arbeitsamt)
Consultations with physicians
Negotiations, shareholders meetings, training courses
At schools, if a child’s parents need help communicating with the administration or a teacher

What’s involved is so-called “consecutive interpreting”: one speaker says 1-2 sentences and pauses so I can translate what they have said into the other language. Then I do the same in the other direction for the reply.

I regularly interpret for the police of Offenbach and Frankfurt am Main. There it primarily involves translating the statements of witnesses or individuals who are suspected of having committed a crime.

For best results, I need a briefing on the subject matter, the pursued goals, and the participants.
