Summary
I’m an educator with a deep passion for bilingual teaching, and I’ve spent years helping students grow in both English and Portuguese. From young children in preschool to adults in language courses, I’ve had the joy of creating fun, interactive, and meaningful learning experiences that bridge the gap between languages and cultures. I believe language is more than just words—it’s about connection, expression, and understanding. My approach is all about making learning feel natural and exciting, whether through playful activities, real-world applications, or diving into the richness of both English and Portuguese cultures. With a background in modern languages, teaching certifications, and lots of hands-on experience, I’m dedicated to helping students not just learn a language but feel confident and connected in both. It’s incredibly rewarding to see my students gain the skills they need to communicate in new ways and embrace the world around them.
