Teacher: Amanda

I'm Amanda and I'm from Brazil. I have been interested in languages and teaching since my early years. When I was 15 I started teaching all subjects to my neighbors. That was my first experience as a teacher. Always passionate about languages, I went to UFMG (Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais) and studied literature, grammar, phonetics, and culture.
Since 2001 I've been working in private and public schools, teaching Portuguese and English to all levels and age groups. I'm very happy to say that I absolutely enjoy every single moment of living in the educational area. ❤️
