I've been working as a language teacher for over 10 years and have taught several languages, including Portuguese, Galician, Asturian, Spanish, Valencian/Catalan, Occitan, French, Italian, Latin, Greek (both Ancient and Modern), and Nheengatu.

In my classes, I always begin with an assessment of the student's knowledge and progress. Based on this assessment and the student's interests, we tailor the content to ensure it is useful and essential for the learning process. The exercises and clear explanations I prepare as a linguist are presented in a simple and straightforward manner.
Minhas aulas sempre contam com uma análise do conhecimento e desenvolvimento do aluno. A partir disso, e dos interesses do estudante, direcionamos o conteúdo. O conteúdo sempre é útil e essencial no processo de aprendizado, com exercícios e explicações claras, pensadas de forma simples e objetiva por mim, como linguista.My teaching material

Estevam is the best teacher ever. I retuned back to him after I tried a couple other teachers. He listens well and he helps a lot. He is extremely patient and has a great sence of humor. He understands how to help with my individual challenges. My classes with him make me happy, as I get a lot of positive emotions and learn smth new every time.
