I have a degree in English, Portuguese, and Translation Studies from UFRGS, in Brazil, and I have been teaching English and Portuguese for the past nine years, in both schools and to private students. My students have ages that go from little infants up to adults, with several different levels of language knowledge and goals.

I work with structured lessons, so you can notice your own improvement. When we have our first lesson, we will go through your goals and build a plan together for your classes. If you choose conversation lessons, we will focus on discussing various topics orally. If you choose traditional lessons, we will develop all of your skills.
📌🇧🇷
Eu trabalho com lições estruturadas, para que você perceba seu desenvolvimento. Na nossa primeira aula, vamos conversar sobre seus objetivos e montar um plano para as aulas. Se optar por aulas de conversação, vamos focar apenas na discussão oral de vários tópicos. Se optar por aulas tradicionais, nós trabalhamos com todas as habilidades.My teaching material

Proof of employement - CCAA, Discovery, Yazigi - 2014I have uploaded here both a proof of employement from my 'Carteira de trabalho', which is a BR official document that lists places where I have worked in. You will see they are all English/Bilingual schools or education centers in Brazil. In addition to that, based on a suggestion by someone from the Italki Team, that I should also add my own Kids lessons through Italki, as I have taught over 800 kids lessons as a teacher in the platform since 2020.

Amanda has already taught me more about Brazilian language and culture than I even realized I wanted to know. She puts so much care and enthusiasm into choosing topics and creating materials. I really appreciate her and recommend her classes. Looking forward to many more fun lessons :)

Amanda was great. She subtly assessed my level as we were talking so she could meet me where I am. She explained how we would be approaching Portuguese and where I might be able to get to in the next few months. I am very excited to continue learning with her :)

Just finished the hundredth class with Amanda! She always comes up with new topics, and encourages you to speak a lot. From Brazilian artists, to history, over ecological and political topics, I learned so much about Brazil in these classes. Amanda always manages to keep it interesting and fun, which makes learning easy.
