Oi querido(a) estudante!

Do you want to learn the vibrant Brazilian Portuguese with a native teacher?
I am here for you! I am passionate about my language and culture, so I would love to share it with you.

I can teach you through dynamic and fun classes that get you emmerged in the Brazilian culture. When you realize it, you are already speaking the language!

I am very flexible and can teach people of different ages, levels and needs. Let's learn to sing beautiful samba lyrics! Let's learn about Bossa Nova and its magic! Let's feel the Brazilian heat while remaining in the Netherlands! Let's learn the "jeitinho brasileiro" to be able to make great deals with Brazilian companies!

Since 2018, I have been teaching Portuguese via Apprentus to several students. It's been very enjoyable to me as well as to my students and I am particularly proud of their development and achievements within a short period! I hope you can be my next student, who is going to make me very proud of!

Vamos aprender português juntos! Tenho certeza que você irá se apaixonar por essa língua assim como eu! Até breve! :)

***Feel free to drop me a message!

Summary: This lesson is designed to introduce the student to the art of public oration. Although an art which even most native speakers will never master, the lesson examines techniques, skills and hands on practice to improve the students’ abilities at persuasive speech.

Explore Public Speaking through...

Intonation and Melody

When training for a presentation, decide which words and passages deserve extra attention and increase the tone to emphasize these points. If something sounds exaggerated or false, your audience can turn against you.

Volume

A speech is not ordinary conversation, and a presenter can’t convey passion and enthusiasm if the words are delivered softly.

Clarity

Don’t forget to articulate every word, to ensure clarity on your part and understanding on the part of the audience.

Emphasis

Even in the same sentence, emphasizing different words can change the focus of a message. Changing emphasis can alter meaning and/or implication.

Pauses

when pauses are placed in strategic spots in a speech, they can make the difference between a good and an excellent presentation. There are several purposes for which pauses can be used: to give listeners a chance to absorb something that’s just been said; to generate expectations about something that’s going to be said...

Pacing & Tone

If you often get negative feedback about the faster or slower delivery of your speeches, practice delivering a speech sometimes faster and sometimes slower, so you can arrive at a natural pace.

Kids don't need lectures about "good money habits." They need to feel what money does.
While adults debate finances at home, kids are already using money, without actually understanding how.

In this course, we learn by playing. And by thinking.
We'll explore together:
✓ Simulate a real shop: handle actual money, practice spending and saving, discover what it feels like
✓ Create a personal budget: not boring spreadsheets, but visuals, games, and real challenges
✓ Ask the real questions: Need vs. want. Why save? How do people earn? What's debt?
✓ Discover how systems work: Banks, loans, digital money, and financial security
✓ Think like an entrepreneur: What services can I offer? How do I create value? How do I turn an idea into money?

Why this is different:
Most kids think "money is complicated." This class shows them that money is a tool, not a mystery, not something to fear.
And, more importantly: that they can control it.

What they take home:
A personal budgeting system they actually understand. Answers to questions they've been asking. And the mindset: money is a means, not an end.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60-min sessions | Small group or one-on-one

For curious kids who ask questions about money.

Hello,

I'm a teacher with 12 years of experience, and I want to offer your child the opportunity to learn about something that will shape their future: artificial intelligence (AI). It's not just a topic of the distant future; AI is already here, and learning about it can give them a huge advantage in their education and, later, in their career.

I've been working with AI in my own companies for years and have extensive training, taking specialized courses and earning a master's degree in this field. My goal is for high school students, ages 12 and up, to understand how AI works and, most importantly, how they can leverage it. It's not about memorizing complicated concepts, but rather learning how to use tools that are already changing the world.

In the private lessons I offer, your child will learn how to use apps like ChatGPT, Copilot, Runway, and many more. We'll cover how to automate tasks, create video, photo, and audio content, and improve productivity. All of this is done in a practical and fun way, so that each lesson is a truly enjoyable experience that motivates them to continue exploring.

Additionally, each class is fully tailored and personalized to each student's needs. I ensure the content is accessible and relevant to each student, so they can progress at their own pace and get the most out of what they learn.

If you're looking for private lessons that really make a difference, I'd be happy to guide your child on this exciting journey into the future...today!

Let's talk and organize the classes!

Learn to Perfect Your American English Accent and Communication Skills—for Work, Academics, and Everyday Life
Great for Study Abroad and International Students!

“Where are you from? ...No, but where are you actually from?”

I was born and have lived in the United States my entire life (28 years). I lived in the rural Midwestern state of Wisconsin until age 13. Then I lived, attended middle school, graduated high school, and attended university in the major U.S. cities of Chicago, Illinois, and San Francisco, California.

I come from a bilingual home, and my parents speak with an accent—but my American English accent is clear, standard, and natural.

I’m happy to work with you to help you sound more American. This can be extremely useful for English learners who want to communicate more confidently and comfortably in school, at work, and in daily life.

We will cover:
• Accent and pronunciation
• Pacing and rhythm
• Vocabulary and word choice
• Delivery and confidence

All techniques are based on evidence from linguistics and communication studies, so you’ll understand why they work—not just memorize rules. Accent and communication improvement is a science and an art.

I have worked in journalism, speech-language pathology, tourism, and customer service. I have experience in high-academic settings (like museums and graduate seminars) and everyday settings (like working in stores). I am currently working toward a Level 5 TEFL diploma.

I have one semester left in my degree in Spanish and Chinese at San Francisco State University, and I plan to move abroad for graduate school. I have also taken graduate-level classes in Chinese and Spanish. I speak eight languages fluently, and I understand what it takes to make a foreign-language accent sound natural and confident.
I’m warm, friendly, patient, professional, open-minded, and flexible. Every student has a unique journey in language learning, and I will meet you where you are to meet your goals.

Feel free to message me with any questions!
