WORK EXPERIENCE
I worked in Portugal as a Qualified Teacher for 25 years and as a lawyer for 20 years.
In Portugal I taught different subjects: Portuguese (all levels); French (beginners for years 5 and 6); Economics (years 10 and 11); Political Economics (years 10, 11 and 12); Law (years 10 and 11) and Technological Education and IT (Years 7 to 9).

In United Kingdom I worked as a Portuguese Teacher for Cactus Language Ltd for 8 years. I worked as a translator/interpreter for 5 years. I translated and interpreted Portuguese – English and vice versa; Portuguese – French and vice versa and French – English and vice versa.
I used to teach Portuguese in small groups, between ages 5 to 7; 7 to 9 and 9 to 12. The most part of the children were Portuguese whose parents did not want they forget their mother tongue.
I supported some Portuguese people in some lawyers’ offices about Portuguese law issues, such as family law, work law and properties registered law.

In Dublin, I worked as a teacher between 2014 and 2016. I taught Portuguese and French. I taught also IT and Decorative Arts.
I supported children between 5 to 12 years old in Counselling groups.
I supported some Portuguese citizens in private lawyers’ offices and I gave them some general advice relating how to solve some Portuguese issues. Basically, the areas were about Human Rights, Criminal Law, Work Law and Properties’ register (House and land).

In Netherlands, I teach Portuguese in International School of Amsterdam and I teach Portuguese, French and Decorative Arts, including several techniques of Art & Craft at Guus Kieft School. Both schools are located in Amstelveen. I teach also French in International Business School The Hague and Portuguese in Taal tall Centrum. Both schools are situated in Den Haag.

I have been teaching Portuguese, French and English by Skype for more than 8 years.

Portuguese Class (Begginer to Advanced) - Fluent Speaker from a Brazilian Polyglot :)
Portuguese is the 6th most spoken language in the world, and it is spoken in 4 continents (Europe, South America, Africa and Asia - Macau, China). In my class, you can learn anything about the language! We can talk about Funk, Football, Memes, Bossa Nova... My approach is focused on the best way for you to learn a language; it is individualized. I speak five languages: English and Portuguese fluently, Spanish and French pretty well, and I know the basics of Dutch. I hope to see you in my class, it would be a pleasure
