I am a passionate and dedicated Modern Foreign Languages teacher with a love for helping students develop their linguistic skills and confidence. Originally from Portugal, I moved to the UK to further my studies and discovered a deep enthusiasm for languages. My journey took me to university, where I graduated with first-class honours in Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian, as well as a distinction in spoken Portuguese. Having experienced the power of language learning through exchange programs and cultural immersion, I aim to inspire others to explore the world through languages.
With a strong background in teaching languages, I have worked as a Spanish teacher at a private international school in the United Arab Emirates, where I delivered engaging lessons to students of diverse abilities and backgrounds. Additionally, I have experience tutoring students for Spanish IB, supporting their progress with tailored resources and strategies. Beyond Spanish, my expertise extends to Portuguese and Italian, providing me with the tools to teach multiple languages effectively. My experience in both classroom and one-on-one settings has equipped me with the skills to help students achieve their goals, whether for exams, travel, or personal development.
I believe in creating a positive, interactive, and student-centred learning environment that focuses on building confidence and fluency. My teaching approach combines structured grammar instruction with engaging speaking, listening, and writing activities tailored to the student’s needs and goals. I incorporate authentic resources such as music, videos, and articles to bring the language to life and provide cultural context. I am patient, adaptable, and committed to ensuring my students make steady progress while enjoying the learning process. Whether you are a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills, I will design lessons that are supportive, effective, and fun.
