What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to inspire students and promote cultural exchange.

I am a dedicated Mandarin teacher with extensive experience in language education. I have been teaching students how to speak, read, and write Mandarin Chinese at various institutions, including the Carlucci American International School of Lisbon and the Language Institute of the University of New Lisbon. My role involves creating engaging lesson plans, assessing student progress, and coordinating cultural events that enrich the learning experience.

With a Master's degree in Portuguese as a Second and Foreign Language, I possess a strong academic background that complements my teaching practice. I am passionate about fostering a love for language and culture among my students, and I take pride in helping them achieve their language goals. My experience as a CAS supervisor for the IB diploma history event has further honed my leadership and organizational skills, allowing me to effectively manage diverse classroom environments.
