I have been Portuguese teacher for more than 30 years. I am from Bahia(Salvador), a place rich in history, culture, beaches, cuisine, music, and carnival. I graduated in Languages (Portuguese and English Literature) at Catholic University of Salvador, and live in the USA for 20 years implementing, developing, and teaching the Portuguese language. I am qualified based on my experiences and skills that contributed to the rapid growth and success of several students, Pre-K to 12th schools, School of Languages, Military bases, government civilians, FBI, Special Forces, National Guard, and organizations I have worked for.
Conversation, grammar, reading and writing are part of the whole process to make a student feel confident and able to be fluent in a second language. Videos, articles, songs, and support material are some of the extra tools used in my classes.
I have had several students of all ages, and what makes the teaching so special is to see my students speak, write and read in Portuguese.
The love, commitment and experience teaching the Portuguese language is my motto.
Welcome to my course and I look forward to hearing from you and helping you learn the Portuguese.
