"Marie keeps me organised and all tasks are completed to the hugest of standards. Marie has great attention to detail and is a positive and energetic person to work with, who instils trust and easy going conversations from the start."
I have worked with Marie for over a year now, where to date she has translated over 20 of my courses into German. Marie is amazing, her translation and Voice over skills have gone far beyond what I would expected and nothing is too much trouble. She has enabled me to reach a brand new audience for my courses that I would not have been able to reach without, and has edited training manuals and done voice overs on videos - her skills are amazing.It’s been a pleasure to work with Marie and a relationship that I hope will continue as we expand more into the German e learning market. Thank you Marie!"
“I have worked with Marie on various projects with different complexities. Marie understood very fast how I wanted the tasks to be realized. The projects were delivered on time and with a credible time-tracking report. The material was always of high quality. Marie is a very reliable person and communicates effectively with her clients.”

Yes! You don’t have to be an expert or a guru on that topic or know everything and there is almost nobody inventing something new. If you do have a new kind of knowledge or skill: great! But I can tell you that the best courses are a reproduction of already existing content put into an easily understandable structure of lessons. So your only job as a course creator is to research your topic well, organize and curate your content and put your personal touch into it.
I support you at every stage of the course creation journey:
1:1 Mentoring Packages – Choose the focus you need most:
Full Course Translation & Accessibility – If you want to reach a wider audience, I can translate your course (English ↔ German, and Spanish), including voice-overs, captions, and subtitles, so it’s accessible and engaging for more learners.
Virtual Assistance – From helping you evaluate platforms with my decision-making tool to ensuring your course meets accessibility standards, I provide extra resources and personalized guidance to make your course professional, inclusive, and ready to sell.
Yes! I’ve already translated and adapted more than 37 online courses from English into German — complete with professional German voice-overs for each one. If you’d like your course transformed into German (or vice versa), my Course Reproduction Service takes care of everything: translation, voice-over, captions, and subtitles, so your course is ready to reach a whole new audience.
No, you don’t necessarily need a website. You can host and manage your entire course on a dedicated course platform or marketplace. When we work together, I’ll guide you in choosing the best option for your needs — and you can also explore my FREE Platform Decision-Making Tool in the resources section to compare platforms yourself. What you do need is a landing page — and the good news is that most platforms provide customizable ones. That said, having your own website gives you extra freedom and flexibility to grow your brand in the long run.
