Two sides of one profession
I'm Nawal El Daou, an Arabic language professional working across translation, subtitling, localization and Arabic tutoring. I have over a decade of experience in translation, proofreading and localization. I currently work in media localization with Deluxe, contributing subtitling, proofreading and content editing to Asharq News, where clarity and cultural relevance are part of every deadline.
Alongside that, I work as a freelance translator and as an online Arabic tutor, and have taught more than 30 learners of different backgrounds, levels and goals in countries around the world. Translating and teaching feed each other: years of adapting content for real audiences make me a clearer teacher; years of explaining how Arabic actually works make me a more precise translator.
Whether you're looking for help with your content or looking to improve your Arabic, my aim is the same: make the language clear, natural and easy to understand.
