About Me
italki teacher since Jun 8, 2016InterestsFoodEnvironment & NatureHistoryPets & AnimalsMusic
I am a 43 year-old Brazilian teacher and I live in Blumenau, a small city in the south of Brazil. I live with my husband, daughter, stepson and our 3 pets. After some years volunteering with stray cats and dogs, I've become a vegan.
My life is very hectic, and I like being busy - although I usually complain about being tired. Besides being a mom and looking after my pets, I teach 2th grade at a public school in my city, and I'm taking my PhD in Gender Studies. I completed my master's degree (in Education) in the beginning of 2020.
In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities, cooking, knitting and taking care of my plants.Me as a Teacher
- My teaching story began as a side hustle during law school. Unexpectedly, I fell in love with the classroom, prompting me to leave law school and pursue a degree in Education. Over two decades later, my passion for teaching remains unwavering.
- With experience in various schools and methods, I've honed my skills to create a dynamic and enriching learning environment.
- Teaching is not just a job; it's a thrilling adventure. Connecting with students on a personal level is key because learning is most is most effective when there's a genuine connection.

Miracles of Human Language: An Introduction to Linguistics - Universiteit Leiden - 2017The course introduced me to the many-faceted study of languages. Together with speakers of many other languages around the world, as well as with famous linguists such as Noam Chomsky and Adele Goldberg, I learned to understand and analyse how my native tongue is at the same time similar and different from many other languages. I learned the basic concepts of linguistics, got to know some of the key features of big and small languages and got insight into what linguists do.

Great trial lesson. I have no prior knowledge of Brazilian Portuguese so I learnt about common greetings, days of the week and the pronunciation of words. Georgia was very welcoming and I will be scheduling more lessons with her!
