As a young and dynamic teacher, I believe that learning a language should be engaging, practical, and adapted to each student's reality. My teaching methods are structured yet flexible, ensuring that Portuguese is integrated naturally into the student's daily life and cultural context.

For children, I use an interactive method called "Aprender Brincando" (Learning Through Play). This approach involves games, songs, storytelling, and role-playing activities that make learning enjoyable and effective. One of my favorite games is “Caça-palavras do cotidiano” (Daily Word Hunt), where children search for specific words in their environment—at home, in books, or even on street signs—encouraging vocabulary expansion through real-life experiences.

For teenagers and adults, I apply the "Portuguese in Context" method. This involves personalized lessons based on the student’s interests, profession, or daily needs. Whether it’s practicing conversation for travel, using Portuguese in a professional setting, or understanding slang and cultural expressions, I tailor the content accordingly. I also use real materials, such as news articles, podcasts, and social media content, to help students learn the language as it is spoken in Brazil today.

Being constantly updated on language trends and cultural aspects, I ensure that my students learn modern, natural Portuguese rather than just textbook phrases. My goal is to create a relaxed and immersive environment where students feel confident and motivated to communicate in Portuguese, not just as a language but as a living cultural experience.
