Growing up in São Paulo, Brazil, I was immersed in the rich tapestry of Brazilian culture and language from an early age. As a native Portuguese speaker, I developed a deep appreciation for the nuances and beauty of my mother tongue. My journey in education began with a strong foundation in technology, where I pursued a Technical Programming and IT course at Colegio Tecnico Oswaldo Cruz. During my time as an intern at Alert Edu São Paulo, I had the privilege of teaching technology courses to refugees and supporting a digital inclusion initiative for public schools across Brazil. These experiences honed my teaching skills and instilled a passion for education and helping others succeed.

Now, as I embark on my academic journey at Queen's University Belfast, pursuing a BA (Hons) in International Relations and Politics, I am excited to combine my technical background with my love for languages. Living in Belfast has broadened my horizons and deepened my appreciation for diverse cultures and perspectives. My fluency in English, coupled with my native proficiency in Portuguese, positions me uniquely to teach and inspire others.

I am eager to share my passion for the Portuguese language, focusing on speaking and conversational skills to help learners communicate confidently and effectively. My teaching approach emphasizes practical communication, enabling students to navigate real-life situations with ease. Additionally, I offer comprehensive support with grammatical issues, ensuring a well-rounded understanding of the language. My goal is to create an engaging and supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to express themselves clearly and accurately, making their journey of mastering Portuguese both enjoyable and rewarding.
