8+ Years Teaching Portuguese | Structured Lessons for English, French, Russian & German Speakers! I hold a Licentiate degree in Portuguese Language and Literature and a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ). I am currently completing a postgraduate specialization in Portuguese Language Teaching Methodology at the Pontifical Catholic University (PUC), as well as a degree in Pedagogy focused on the education of children and adults. I have over eight years of experience teaching Portuguese in language schools, formal educational settings, and private lessons, working with both international learners and native speakers. Alongside teaching, I work as a Customer Service Manager in the travel technology industry, leading a team of 30 professionals. I also have more than ten years of experience in hospitality, including hotels, cruise operations, and travel tech. This background allows me to offer practical Business Portuguese lessons focused on corporate communication, leadership, meetings, presentations, negotiation, customer service, and cross-cultural interaction. My lessons are structured, personalized, and adapted to each student’s goals, pace, and linguistic background. I have developed specific approaches for English, Russian, and German speakers, and I use technology, digital resources, and AI to make lessons more interactive, efficient, and engaging. My goal is to help students build confidence, accuracy, and fluency for real-life communication.
