I recognize that merely holding a degree in foreign languages is not sufficient for excellence in lecturing.
Coming from a bilingual family, foreign languages have been a constant in my life. Since 2016 it has been enforced through living, studying and working abroad on the journey to pursuing my livelyhood.
Presently, I am a traveling lecturer and digital nomad, primarily based in Lisbon and winter time I often spend in Rio de Janeiro. I embrace both the identities of an "alfacinha" and a "carioca". Back at university I could not decide which Portuguese language variant I prefer, therefor I decided to master both European and Brasilian variants through self-teaching and integration.
My approach to teaching, rooted mainly in communicative and direct methods, is characterized by lively classes imbued with a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Each lesson is an opportunity to share authentic language and culture, tailored to the preferences of my students.
I ensure every student follows their learning progress and leaves each session feeling enriched.
