Living in Mbabane, Swaziland

Qualified Portuguese/English teacher with over 30 years' experience; Portuguese examiner/moderator With over 30 years’ experience as a Portuguese examiner, university tutor, and bilingual translator, and over 4000 lessons taught on italki, I specialize in helping students master Portuguese and English for exams, business, or travel. Born in Portugal and raised in Eswatini, I bring a multicultural perspective to language teaching. My academic background in Modern European Languages and postgraduate studies drive my passion for guiding learners of all levels. As a translator and proofreader, I offer expert support for mastering both languages. I look forward to meeting you! I've been teaching Portuguese and English to children and adults for over 30 years. I tutored Portuguese at the local university. I'm a Portuguese examiner/moderator at a South African university. Privately, I tutor international and local students. I have successfully provided specialized corporate training in Portuguese in Eswatini. My lessons, both Portuguese and English, can be structured or more informal. I use several textbooks and adapt my lessons to the needs and objectives of my students. It's very satisfying to see students learning and improving their command of the language they are studying, so I try to make the lessons enjoyable and interesting. I recommend material that I use, or online material, as the need arises. I encourage the student to attain his/her potential. If students cannot attend class, kindly inform me 24 hours in advance, or as soon as possible.

Thank you so much for a great class! She patiently answered all of my questions and helped me with my grammar and vocabulary. Always look forward to our sessions :)

It was not the fault of the tutor - it was my being overwhelmed by all the words on the dashboard. WHen I went into lessons, it asked me to confirm a lesson was completed that hadn't started yet then when I click on chats, nothing happens. I stumbled on a long list of chats from the teacher that I had missed since the first class. I am just horrible with technology as crowded as this is - I could not see the simple 'join class' that I saw on the trial class. This is all my fault and I am going to just try and figure out how to understand it all. Apologies to my tutor.

Gostei muito das aulas. A professora dedica-se muito à explicação de temas gramaticais, tem um currículo bem estruturado com base nos livros de Português B1 e B2. Utiliza exercícios diferentes para uma melhor aprendizagem
