Truly an enriching journey

Never ever have I felt this comfortable undergoing a mentorship online. Thomas’s approach as very refreshing, rewarding and inspiring, all at the same time. First, he listens to me so intently at every juncture on what I was actually trying to say along with what I said. That reading-between-the-lines skills of Thomas is very comforting. Though translation is very new to me, at no point he made me feel insecure. His depth of knowledge in translation comforted me at many times that I was in the right hands. I applaud the patience he practices and respect he gives to other writers’ works. Along with giving suggestions, he also explains the gravity of the words used and discusses the word choice(s) a translator makes. Thomas’s timely and critical feedback on my works motivated to push myself further. Sessions with Thomas also boosted my confidence in writing that I shocked myself when I started experimenting different approaches when it comes to translating works. Undergoing a mentorship with Thomas was truly an enriching journey.
