I am Brazilian and I lived in that country for 25 years. I have two B.A.'s made there and I have also worked and studied in different countries. I have an extensive international experience on teaching Portuguese language for foreigners in the five continents. I was the official Portuguese language teacher at the Universidad Nacional San Antonio Abad of Cusco, Peru. I use printed and digital material in my classes which are very effective, especially designed for Spanish and/or English speakers who want to learn Portuguese. I have noticed an increase in the interest and importance of this language, so much so that The Economist magazine released an article on the subject that I think is worth reading: http://moreintelligentlife.com/node/4302 We are talking about the third European language most spoken in the world (only behind Spanish and English) - 240 million total speakers, 9 countr

I have a way of perceiving the difficulty the student has, and am able to explain the material in a simple way that makes it easy for students to grasp. I have a good rapport with my student and have had several that have told me that I am the best teacher they have ever had(which didn't hurt my ego!!) I also have a good sense of humor which puts students at ease- and it is proven that a tense mind can not learn, only when the student loses their anxiety over the material will they absorb it! I have been tutoring for over 15 years both in students homes or at public locations such as coffee shops or the public library. My education and experience are broad. I was educated at "Ivy League" level schools and purposefully educated myself in a large variety of the humanities, which in essence all tie together. Basic courses up through most High School material outside of the Humanities ar

I was born and raised in Brazil, where Portuguese is the first language. I am passionate about the Portuguese language, and my reading, writing, grammar, and speaking skills are superb. My energy, persistence, and patience serve to motivate my students to apply themselves and not give up. People learn in different ways and I adapt my teachings to each student. Are you a visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learner?  I am fulfilled when I see my students grow and become more self-confident as students and people. Everyone needs to know that someone believes in them.  My students know that I believe in them, today, tomorrow, and always. My passion is to help students realize they can accomplish whatever they set their minds to. I have been teaching English for almost 8 years. I taught English for 6 years in an English School in Brazil, and I have been teaching English as a Second Language (pri

During 2005-2007 I participated as a Dual Language Elementary teacher (Spanish-English) at Palm Beach County's School District, FL. I served as a second grade teacher for the first school year and as a fourth grade teacher for the second period. In this innovative program I was in charge of two different groups of children who were completely immersed in Spanish during half of the teaching contact hours. For the 2008-2009, I participated as a Dual Language Teacher (Math and Science). I worked concurrently for 5th and 6th graders at a Charter School in Colorado. Since 2010, I've been an independent Tutor under the No Child Left Behind act, serving students of Polk and Hillsborough Counties in Florida. I enjoy tremendously my interaction with pupils. I like to observe how their self esteem increases as they master difficult concepts. I help them tackle these concepts by introducing more

My teaching style involves a combination of patience, mastery over the material at hand, a sense of humor, Socratic Method and a personal commitment to my students. This style allows students both to excel academically and to build the confidence and problem-solving skills necessary to meet challenges outside the classroom. Specifically, this style instills an inquisitive and non-dogmatic learning approach in students that provides them with critical thinking and expression tools which are universally applicable. Teaching is the most rewarding thing I have ever done. I have extensive experience teaching languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French), social sciences and music. I have been gainfully employed as an interpreter, a professor, a tutor, a marketing manager, an editor, an immigration specialist, and now as in-house counsel for a major U.S. bank.

As a graduate of a four year college, I have earned a BA in Course of Languages with full teaching rights in Portuguese and English. I have a certification for Translation and Interpretation on both languages. Among my areas of study are included Psychology of Education, Didactics and Methodology and many hours of supervised training on teaching practice. My concentration in the Languages gave me the opportunity to learn not only extensive grammatical skills but also literature and culture related issues. I believe my formal education combined with native speaking skills give me the excellence needed to do the job. I am a firm believer that the student will lead a great instructor to the right program. A customized teaching program that emphasizes in the immediate needs of the student will provide a greater level of confidence and eagerness to learn more. In the learning of a new langua

Teachers can be the primary influence on children's interests, beliefs, values, knowledge, and self-concept. Supporting and encouraging a child of all ages is an awarding two ways contribution of exciting exploration and growth in one's future. A career development is a life-long process that begins as early as 4 years old. It involves care and awareness that constantly stimulates their potential and strengths. I am proud of the work I do and the contribution I can make to the community. One of my best achievements in life is learning multiple languages. I had a strong and solid education in my native Portuguese language that helped me to develop and import the same skills and expertise to grammar, writing, communication and translation in English. I have the passion to instruct that enables me to encourage and help someone to learn English well.

I have always had a passion for math and for helping others. While I was in college I was a math tutor for students struggling in remedial math (subject before college algebra) for a whole year. Also, I tutored middle school students in geometry and algebra. I have also babysat small children and helped them daily with their homework. In July of 2010 I received my BA in Mathematics and I am now working on my MA in Teaching. I hope to become a math teacher in the future and be able to help all the students that come my way. I believe math to be a challenging subject, but I also believe that with care, patience and understanding I can teach any student to learn it and even become to love it! I am very patient and a really good listener. I believe that every student has his/her own learning style and it is my job to teach them in the best way that they learn.

Due to my extensive background in languages & cultures, I have been able to address individual learning and studying needs quickly, effectively, and definitively. As a multicultural linguist in the field of education, I have been on the forefront of curriculum design and I have presented at five TESOL conferences. Furthermore, my deep-structural understanding of a language's grammar allows me to analyze linguistic needs and perspectives inductively. Teaching and showing are synonymous and in some languages it is the same word. I am not an instructor. As a teacher & educator my principal aim is to clarify objectives and show the student (client) how s/he can reach her/his goals. I facilitate the process profesionally as well as wholeheartedly. From a personal perspective, I feel good about what I do ONLY when it is validated by the student's satisfaction.
