Experience Summary
Hi! I'm a native Brazilian from the city of Sao Paulo. I have a passion to teach and therefore I can say that I'm a very dedicated teacher. I have 15 years of experience teaching, interpreting and translating Portuguese.
I worked at a school of languages and as a freelancer teaching individuals, groups and companies. Also I worked as a interpreter/translator at seminars, conventions and at major companies such as Lucent Technologies, McGraw-Hills - Business Week Magazine and others.
Teaching Style
Normally I start my lessons with phonetics. I think this is the basis of learning Portuguese and it will give you confidence to keep on learning. Then I will introduce reading (you will be amazed how phonetics can help you with this!), grammar, vocabulary and conversation. Of course, I can add any other subject such as vocabulary for business, knowledge of the culture, customs, etc.
