Discovering the World of English​

How it all began

Teaching English has always been a rewarding job for me!
As a teenager in Brazil, I first became interested in English by watching movies and singing pop songs with friends. I used to listen to cassette tapes and transcribe the lyrics. It was hard work because there was no internet back then.

Teaching is a job of the “heart”
At 17, I was determined to graduate in Languages ​​(English and Portuguese) and I worked hard to make my dream come true. I have taught all ages – children to advanced adults – in public schools, private schools, a business English school and in my own school. I have also done some interpreting and translation work over the years.
