About Me
italki teacher since Oct 13, 2021Interest topicHistoryFoodArt
Hi! My name is Lygia and I'm a language and culture enthusiastic!
I was born in Brazil so my mother language is Portuguese. I learned English when I was a teenager, and I fell in love with languages and all that comes with learning them. I love cooking, reading, watching movies, learning new things, meeting new people, and, mostly, traveling!
I studied my bachelor's in Mexico and that's why besides Portuguese and English, I also speak Spanish.Me as a Teacher
I've been a professional language teacher and translator since 2014, I'm certified to teach online and I'm happy to have guided many students to proficiency. I became a Language teacher to be able to travel the world while helping people improve their language skills. Learning languages is what allowed me to follow my dreams, and my goal is to help my students do the same.My lessons & teaching style
I tailor my methods to each student but with most of my students, I dedicate a great part of the lesson to his/her output. I like to learn about my students' interests and connect my lessons to them, helping students use the vocabulary and grammar they learned the way they will use it in real life!Work Experience
