I’m passionate about languages, and I know you really enjoy learning Brazilian Portuguese. Learning a new language is one of the most fascinating abilities that we are able to do. It changes our daily life habits, it boosts our brain's neuroplasticity, it broadens our horizons of different cultures and peoples. That's why I'm currently trying to learn 5 languages more. I always loved to learn English as a self-taught. In 2011 I started my specialization course in English Language studies, focused on teaching methodology and translation. I could learn about different teaching approaches, linguistics, phonology and translation theories. So it was a perfect fit for 1-1 lessons.Me as a Teacher

Jane is an extremely good teacher. I learned so much in just a couple of months. I love Portuguese and she is making the learning process even more pleasant, relaxed and easy. I am learning while speaking about topics and subjects I love and time goes by just like that. I totally recommend her as a teacher!!

¡Agradezco enormemente por la paciencia y el entusiamo con los que me enseñó! Pude aprender muchas expresiones nuevas, resolver dudas y quedar aún más motivado con el aprendizaje en tan solo unos pocos minutos. Me sorprendió la facilidad con la que introdujo temas nuevos y correcciones sin romper la dinámica de la conversación. Estoy totalmente satisfecho y agradecido.
