15 years experience in a broad variety of subjects!

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 Humanit ... read more

Portuguese is one of my top subjects! 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 countries. So... "Bem-vindo meu amigo!!" (Welcome my friend!)

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught for a little over three years children with homework completing issue. In an effort to encourage students to use educational technology, I have successfully incorporated technology into my course design. One way is by teaching online classes.

Portuguese is one of my top subjects! 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 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 (private classes) in the USA for almost two years. I build a relationship with the student, and create an environment where she/he can succeed. It is my job as a tutor to determine how each of my students learn best. I love the accomplishments of all of my students. They end speaking languages fluently.
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. Ever ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 introducin ... read more

I'm a journalist by trade. My love of writing began at an early age. A bachelor's degree in Theater immersed me in the works of Wiliam Shakespeare and from there I became fascinated with history and living history at that. I then obtained a Master's degree in Journalism to expand my skill set in both the English and Spanish languages. I have extensive experience working with bilingual students of all ages in the subjects of English-grammar,composition, literature. Spanish-grammar, conversational. History- World, Latin, American.
My teaching style is based on the premise that students want to learn and succeed. At times they are blocked in that endeavor by the level of difficulty, the complexities of a lesson or personal obstacles. It's my job as a tutor to find out what that hindrance is and help the student overcome it. I vary my teaching style based on the needs of the student.

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. This eclectic and fulfilling professional background is the natural product of an insatiable curiosity and exceptional linguistic talent. In addition to a minor in Spanish and a certificate in Latin American Studies, I have bachelor degrees with honors and distinction in History and English from the University of Iowa. Furthermore, I recently graduated in the top 12% of my class with honors and distinction from the University of Iowa law school in 2003. I have also studied languages, social science topics and law in South America and Europ ... read more

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 language every acquired skill is a way to encourage the student to learn more. Generalized language courses always end up leaving the student with no motivation. Every student/instructor meeting should provide an aquisition of a new skill and a desire to learn more. I also like to use the similiarities between the languages to increase the confidence level.
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 Ed ... read more

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.
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.
