Bio
I am a deeply passionate individual, particularly when it comes to sharing my knowledge with others. My enthusiasm for teaching is matched by my patience and keen observation skills.
My team and I encouraged over 30 students to embark on their Portuguese studies. As a tutor, I was captivated by witnessing the remarkable progress my students made from the beginning to the end of the year. Through this experience, I learned that each student is unique, and I adapted my teaching methods to accommodate their individual needs, which greatly enriched my approach to tutoring.
