What clients say
From one off translations to ongoing recruitment support.
Esra understood exactly what our students needed for their UK university applications. She was very careful with the wording and presentation, particularly with personal statements, and everything came back polished and on time. It took a lot of pressure off us during a busy application period.
Esra got the tone of our brand straight away, which saved us a lot of back and forth. The English content felt natural and still sounded like us, rather than reading like a translation. We continued working with Linguesa as the business grew because we knew we could trust her with our content.
I studied Spanish with Esra for nearly three months and really enjoyed our lessons. She quickly worked out where I needed the most help and we spent a lot of time actually speaking rather than just going through exercises. By the end I felt much more comfortable using Spanish in real conversations.
With legal work, small details matter, and that's one of the reasons we've enjoyed working with Linguesa Language Solutions. Esra doesn't just translate what is in front of her, she asks questions, understands the context and makes sure the meaning is right. We know we can trust her with work that needs particular care.
We have used Linguesa for Turkish language training for our staff for several months. Esra combines a strong knowledge of languages with a very approachable teaching style. She is patient, engaging and particularly good at adapting her teaching to the person in front of her. Our experience with Linguesa has always been very positive.
I found Esra on TutorHunt after learning quite a bit of Turkish from TV series, but I still couldn't really speak it! Our lessons helped me turn all those words and phrases I'd picked up into actual conversations. I became so much more confident speaking and stopped worrying so much about making mistakes.
We worked with Linguesa Language Solutions for a long time and Esra became someone both our HR team and our Turkish colleagues knew they could go to. Having someone who understood the language, the culture and the way our international teams worked made a genuine difference. She fitted into the business very naturally and became a trusted partner to us.
We have worked with Linguesa across different areas of the business, initially for specific projects and later on an ad-hoc basis when additional support was needed. One of the main advantages for us is that Esra has quickly picked up how we work, so she could step into different situations without needing everything explained from the beginning.
Speaking English had been a problem for me since I moved to the UK. I knew more than I felt confident using, and Esra really helped me get past that. I'm much more comfortable speaking now and I don't overthink every sentence like I used to.
Recruitment on our projects can move very quickly and our requirements sometimes change with little notice. Esra understands that and has always been able to adapt without making things complicated. She knows how to deal with contractors and project-based teams, and having her support has made recruitment much easier for us. We definitely recommend Linguesa as an HR partner.
There can be a lot of back and forth in property transactions, especially when there's a language barrier. Having Esra involved has made those conversations much easier for us and for our clients. She reads the situation well, communicates clearly with everyone involved and is someone we're comfortable having in important conversations.
Esra became one of those people we knew we could call when something needed sorting quickly and properly. She was flexible, easy to work with and we never had to chase or worry about the standard of the work. That reliability was probably what we valued most about working with Linguesa.
Esra and her business took ownership of recruitment and HR for our Netrace project in Germany and made the whole process surprisingly straightforward. We hired Network Engineers, Implementation Managers, QA Engineers and other specialist profiles together. Having one person who knew the project inside out worked so well that we never felt we needed a larger recruitment team.
We've had a great experience working with Esra and Linguesa. Over time, Esra has really gotten to know our business and the way we operate, which means we can always rely on her for practical advice and support when we need it. She is approachable, responsive and genuinely invested in helping us find the right solutions rather than just giving generic HR advice. It feels like having someone on our side who understands the business. Linguesa has become a trusted HR partner for us and we really value the relationship we've built.
