What I'm looking for

I am seeking a remote position that allows me to leverage my teaching skills while fostering a positive learning environment.

I am an English teacher with a strong command of the language, holding a C2 proficiency level. My journey in education began in 2015, and since then, I have developed a robust teaching methodology that fosters a dynamic and welcoming learning environment for students of all ages.

Throughout my career, I have taught at various educational levels, from preschool to high school, and have also worked in language schools. My experience includes roles as a homeroom teacher and co-teacher in elementary education, where I have honed my skills in creating engaging lesson plans and facilitating effective communication. Currently, I hold a tenured position in the City of Curitiba Public School System, where I continue to inspire and educate young minds.
