What I'm looking for

I seek teaching roles where I can design communicative, student-centered courses, prepare learners for exams, and use online tools to foster inclusive, measurable language growth.

I am an English teacher with extensive experience designing student-centered lessons that build fluency, accuracy, and confidence for adult and teenage learners. I hold a Master's in Linguistic Studies and a Bachelor's in Translation from Universidade Federal de Uberlândia.

I have delivered classroom and online instruction, prepared students for proficiency and ICAO English exams, and used CLT and TBLT approaches alongside pronunciation/IPA training. I consistently design customized lesson plans and apply differentiated instruction to meet diverse proficiency levels.

I maintain an active YouTube channel to extend learning beyond class, and I leverage tools like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Google Classroom to drive engagement and outcomes.
