About

Hi, I’m Tingting Qin, owner of Tingbridge. It’s great to see you here. Before selecting a language service provider, you probably want to check the credentials of the company. Even if it looks okay, most of the time you won’t know exactly which translator/interpreter you’ll be working with. Well, luckily at Tingbridge, you’ll talk directly with me, the main translator/interpreter of the company. I’ll make sure that you are highly satisfied with your decision. Here is a brief description of my qualifications to help you move forward.
