I have been teaching English, Spanish and Portuguese for over 11 years. I have thought students from the beginner to the advanced leves. I have worked in language courses and in business oriented companies.I have been trained in teaching by various courses. I have learned the modern language teaching methodology, which is communication based. The theoretical angle of this methodology is used by me as a foundation for my teaching, however, I believe in a "custom made" approach whereas I taken into consideration the many variables of each individual. Although I do not have a degree in the language I intend to teach in this platform (Portuguese) I have extensive training in foreign language teaching and I am certain that I could successfully teach Portuguese. In my years of teaching I have accumulated a considerable amount of material.
