Having learned four foreign languages myself, I know how intimidating it can be to unleash a completely new version of oneself in a different language. That's why playfulness and encouragement are at the core of my teaching method. I can create personalized lessons based on each student's level as well as follow a curriculum, depending on need. I carefully blend structure and grammar with fun songs and language games so students can enjoy their language-learning journey and simultaneously achieve their proficiency goals. I love communication, and I love Portuguese. I lived and studied in Rio de Janeiro and wrote my thesis on Arab Migration to Brazil in Portuguese. Because I learned all my foreign languages in adulthood and mainly taught kids, I know how to bring the child-like joy of learning a foreign language to an adult classroom. I am flexible and attentive to each student's learning style and personality, so I will not only be a teacher but a personal guide who will facilitate the cultural encounter with a language and culture I hold so dearly close to my heart. My training in Social Anthropology at Oxford Uni, as well as my extensive international experience in Syria, Senegal, the Netherlands, Germany, and Brazil, makes me a powerful candidate for this position; who is not only fluent in Portuguese but also an excellent communicator with all kinds of people.
