About Me

italki teacher since May 14, 2014

Hello! Are you looking for conversation-based English classes? I'd love to help you reach your language goals! I enjoy discussing a wide range of topics and getting to know people from different parts of the world. Don't hesitate to send me a message if you have any questions. I hope to see you soon!

Me as a Teacher

I’m a professional language teacher. I’ve also studied translation and am certified to translate documents between English and Brazilian Portuguese. I studied Spanish and Education in college. After graduating I traveled to Brazil and ended up living there for almost 4 years. In Brazil I worked as an English teacher and did some translation. In 2015 I came back to USA and pursued a Master’s degree in Spanish Literature. I finished that in 2017 and now I’m currently working on a Phd in Literature and Cultural studies in the Spanish and Portuguese department of my university.

My lessons & teaching style

Because of my full university schedule, I'm currently interested in teaching intermediate to advanced students who are looking for conversation-based lessons. For these lessons, I agree on a topic beforehand with the student so I can send him/ her an article or YouTube video to view. During the lesson we discuss different aspects of the text or video, making sure to practice the important vocabulary or any particular grammatical structures. I frequently make corrections and offer alternative, more advanced or natural ways to communicate ideas. I write down all corrections for the student to be able to study after class. I can also help you write a text or translate documents to English.
