Join us

Bianca and Francesca met as interpreting colleagues, fellow researchers and interpreter trainers at the Johannes-Gutenberg University of Mainz/Germersheim in 2017. Brought together by our common passion for conference interpreting and pedagogy, we soon started collaborating on our courses. Together, we developed training materials, designed new methods to increase classroom engagement, observed each other's classes providing feedback and engaged in discussions with our students to improve our methods.

As we received an increasing number of invitations to provide seminars and courses as a team, an idea started to take shape... We were going to develop an online interpreting academy — a space where we could create and share innovative courses. We would stay loyal to our systematic, research-based approach to teaching and spice it up with a fresh, playful style. Through our courses, we were going to help our students learn effectively while having fun! Nevertheless, we would provide each student with personalised guidance and concrete solutions to their individual needs. Our online academy would be their academy. This is how we chose its name: InterpreMY — my interpreting academy.
