English (ESL) with Orville F.

Orville Fitz-Henley

In addition to teaching, I interpret (translate the *spoken* word) for doctors and patients to provide understanding between them. It's a dance between English and Spanish - and it blends well with my language teaching (see below)!

Magenta Trans-Services

Interpreted between English and Spanish for medical appointments, specifically orthopedic visits.

Interpreters Unlimited

Interpreted between English and Spanish for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy appointments for children and adults. Helped the patients to feel they had communicated their needs and helped the doctors to feel they had received the information needed to make a decision about treatment.

Orville Fitz-Henley, Certified Language Instructor

Students say classes are fun and that I'm patient and encouraging. My travels and living abroad lend a depth and breadth to the lessons: experience Spain, Mexico, Panama, and more with me!
