Portuguese teacher for foreigners with over twenty years of experience in language teaching.

It was then that I received an invitation to teach English at the CCAA and I ended up being enchanted by the profession. Since then I got a degree in Languages and have been working as a language teacher and pedagogical coordinator for major schools in Brazil.
