Professional Experience
When I was in Brazil, I was engaged in several different social movements, which demanded a lot of teaching and learning at the same time. I have experience in talking with groups, understanding individual needs, and working together to accomplish a final goal.
Teaching Approach
I prefer to use music as a tool for teaching the language, but it depends of the level of the students. If they have basic knowledge, the class starts with a song and the students are asked to analyze the lyric. Based on that, the class unfolds until the lesson is learned. If more intermediate level, the song is used to explain more about the Brazilian cultural context. If more advanced, we can use a more historical perspective. My goal is not only to teach the language, but teach the students more about Brazilian culture and history.
Availability
I am flexible.
Teaching Place(s)
