I've been teaching languages for the past 11 years. I've been teaching English but I've also had the opportunity to teach Portuguese. Ever since I started teaching online I've come across lots of different people from different cultures, ages and backgrounds and with each I've had the privilege to create a bond of trust and made the learning safer and more productive.

I tailor my teaching material according to my student's needs; I enjoy using songs and video excerpts to contextualize grammar and pronunciation or even vocabulary acquisition; I also hold a subscription of Off2Class, a platform loaded with teaching material that ranges from Absolute beginner to Business English and Test Preparation (IELTS, TOEFL)

I've held different jobs as a teacher: face-to-face individual lessons, group lessons, catch up lessons and strengthening skills lessons have been some of the most common; Starting in 2020, I've been navigating the waters of online teaching and I've been enjoying it a lot so far!

Since my family has a religious background, while I lived with my parents I volunteered in several kinds of social work which raised in me empathy and awareness of other people's needs .
