Brenda Moreira

My name is Brenda Lara. I qualified as a teacher in Brazil with two bachelor’s degrees, where I taught foreign languages (Spanish and English to native Portuguese speakers) at state and private schools to students at a range of levels for a decade. In 2022, I moved to the UK where I completed my Master’s at Birkbeck College, University of London, and was awarded an MSc in Education, Power, and Social Change with Distinction.

My teaching has centred on foreign languages (Spanish and English). My journey began in 2014 with a four-year teacher training program funded by Brazil’s Ministry of Education. I possess a strong passion for education and language instruction, which has been cultivated over my decade-long career as a Spanish and English teacher. I am dedicated, patient, and empathetic, always striving to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment for my students.

I've taught Spanish and English in various public and private schools, working with students from different backgrounds and skill levels. Through teaching and coordinating roles, I've improved my communication, organization, and people skills. I've managed classrooms well, organized school events, and built positive relationships with students, parents, and colleagues. Additionally, completing my Master's degree in Education has broadened my understanding of educational theories and how social factors influence learning environments.

I'll make learning Spanish fun and engaging by using interactive activities like games, songs, and role-plays. We'll focus on practical skills like speaking and listening, with plenty of opportunities for practice and conversation. I'll provide clear explanations and examples to help you understand grammar and vocabulary. Plus, I'll incorporate cultural elements to make the learning experience more immersive and enjoyable. Together, we'll build your confidence and fluency in Spanish!
