Welcome to my website!
My name is Valérie Geradon and I am a foreign language consultant. My job is to help you succeed, whether at school, university, within your company, internationally and... ultimately, in life. How do I proceed? I start with your needs, that I carefully analyse, then I offer you tailor-made services to meet them. My aim is for us to achieve the desired result together, and to do so without any undue effort.
My background, in a nutshell...
I completed a bachelor's degree in international trade from the Higher Education Institution of the Province of Liège in 2014. Two years later, I decided to perfect my language skills and I registered at the Faculty of Translation and Interpretation of the University of Mons. I obtained a bachelor's degree in translation and interpretation in 2019, then a master's degree in translation (research focus) in 2021. I finished my studies with a six-week internship in the French language department of the European Commission (DGT.D.FR.1).
