"A step forward and you're not in the same place anymore"
Originally from Brazil, currently living in Ireland, I have been teaching Portuguese for several years now to all ages and levels. I can also speak English, so I am able to help with confusion that may arise between the two languages. On top of that, I’d lived in Portugal before, and this provided me with important insights into Portuguese-speaking countries. As well as having two bachelor’s degrees with honors in Language- Portuguese and its literature with a minor in English.
Throughout the course of my career, I’ve honed my communication and conflict resolution abilities becoming capable of performing projects to help educational issues along the way contributing to two relevant projects published in a national well-known magazine in Brazil.
I love teaching Portuguese, and I really believe the class should be fun, interactive, and with very little stress being able to facilitate students to learn and improve is what makes it so worthwhile. I look forward to meeting you.
