About Alicia

I grew up in the UK and studied in Switzerland, then moved back to my mother’s hometown of Jerez de la Frontera 15 years ago. Even a homecoming has hurdles: local bureaucracy, and a language barrier many English speakers meet here.

I know how intimidating it can feel, so I come with you: to the town hall, the medical appointment, the notary. My goal is that you feel confident, understood and supported at every step.

On-site accompanimentI join your appointments and translate in real time.
Bureaucracy navigationI help you understand and complete local forms.
Local advocacyYour needs, clearly put to officials and professionals.
Peace of mind15 years of local experience to avoid the common pitfalls.

What clients say

Getting my TIE would have been impossible without Language Services. Alicia guided me through the entire process and attended every appointment with me.
