About Me

Olá, tudo bem?

Portuguese is an amazing language and I will help you learn it!

I am a seasoned professional with more than ten years of experience in foreign language teaching and teacher training. I help students from all over the world achieve their linguistic goals through relevant, fun, and memorable lessons. My lessons are tailor-made, taking into account level and the areas my leaners wish to focus on.

My students often tell me that I possess great social, intercultural and communication skills. I hold a B.A. in languages, internationally recognized teaching qualifications as well as the Certificate of Proficiency in English.

If you are interested or have any questions, please contact me. It will be great to know more about why you want to learn Portuguese, give you all the support you need do it and also have a great time!

Muito obrigado e até logo!
