Portuguese is one of my top subjects! Language and Brazilian culture

Motivate students participation, use Brazilian culture and recent fact as examples to inform and also practice the language. Practice daily situations and use students hobbies and favorite activites to develop the use of the language.
I have business background, but since I moved to United States I have been working with Portuguese language, as translator and interpreter since 2010, as private tutor since 2011, and I had the opportunity to teach 2 Portuguese classes (48 students total), one of them for English speakers only and the second one for Spanish speakers, both at University of Florida, where I found my passion to teach!

More About This Tutor...

My name is Maysa and I am a native Brazilian living in Colorado Springs, CO. I have over 5 years experience teaching Portuguese and providing language interpretation services. I also have experience as a Business Administrator in the marketing of Consumer Goods and Services in various multinational companies, which required me traveling to different countries.

A Little Bit About Me...

I HAVE A 4.0 GRADE POINT AVERAGE WHICH REQUIRED HARD WORK AND DEDICATION. I BELIEVE THAT THESE QUALITIES ARE ESSENTIAL IN REAPING SUCCESS ESPECIALLY IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION. I HAVE TAUGHT SPANISH 2 YEARS IN A PRIVATE SCHOOL AND 4 YEARS IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL, WHICH WERE BOTH CHALLENGING AND REWARDING. I TAUGHT STUDENTS AGES 11-18 YEARS AND HAD TO ADAPT MY ACADEMIC AND BEHAVIORAL APPROACH TO ACCOMMODATE THE LEARNING NEEDS AND CAPABILITIES OF MY STUDENTS. I ALSO TUTORED A 7TH GRADE STUDENT FOR 3 MONTHS PRIOR TO RELOCATING. I AM CURRENTLY EMPLOYED PART-TIME WITH LANGUAGE TRAINERS CORPORATION WHERE I TEACH SPANISH TO WORKING ADULTS ONE DAY A WEEK FOR 3 HOURS. I KNOW THAT MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE IN THIS FIELD WILL MAKE ME AN IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR THIS JOB.
