Sobre mim
Professor da italki desde 10 de Jul de 2018Tópico de interesseLeituraFilmesComidaMúsica
I was born in Portugal, and came to Swaziland as a child, with my parents. I did my primary school education in Swaziland and my high school and university education in South Africa. I have an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Modern European Languages (Portuguese). I also have a Higher Education Diploma (Postgraduate). I'm a high school teacher.
I enjoy discussing Swaziland. I love reading and studying, particularly languages. I have private students and it's very interesting to meet people from other countries.
I travel to South Africa often to visit my son, wife and children. I have also travelled to the UK to visit my younger son, wife and children. My family is very important to me.Minha atuação como professor
I've been teaching Portuguese and English to children and adults since 1992. I'm very patient. Currently, I teach Grade 6 and 7 at a primary school. I've been tutoring Portuguese at the local university since 2009. I've also been a Portuguese examiner/moderator at a South African university since 2013. Privately, I tutor students from Taiwan, China, Ireland, Italy and other countries, and of course, Eswatini (Swaziland). Recently, I taught a beginner's course in Portuguese over a 6 month period to the managing staff of a prominent company in Swaziland.
I also edit documents, for instance, language manuals, theses, etc.
I do translations from Portuguese to English and vice versa.Minhas aulas e estilo de ensino
My lessons, both Portuguese and English, can be structured or more informal. I have several textbooks which I use. I 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 opportunity arises. I encourage the student to attain his/her potential.
It's important that students are on time for class. If they cannot attend, they need to inform me 24 hours in advance, or as soon as possible.Meu material de ensino

I had over 30 lessons with Dona Morais in the past months. I highly recommend her as a teacher. Very patient, knowledgeable, always on time. We do not just go through a book, but we talk a lot about structures and grammars, She sends me additional materials/exercises when I ask, and listens to my requests very attentively.

I have been taking lessons with Maria for over two years. She is very professional and has a lot of language resources to use in the lessons. She is versatile enough to help me with grammar, reading, and conversation, and if there's a question that comes up in the lesson she often follows up with more information for me afterwards. The lessons are also a lot of fun. I enjoy having a window into life in Southern Africa once a week. Eswatini is a beautiful country and it's nice to have a connection there.
