What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an opportunity to teach Mandarin and Chinese culture through dynamic, straightforward lessons that encourage student interest and learning.

I planned and taught Mandarin language and culture lessons for secondary school students during my teaching internship at Escola Secundária Abílio Duarte. I created interactive activities, assessed student progress, and supported cultural events.

I'm completing a Bachelor's Degree in Chinese Studies at the University of Cabo Verde and strengthened my linguistic and cultural knowledge through a six-month exchange at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies in China.
