Introduction: I'm a native Brazilian from the city of Curitiba, which is in southern Brazil. I received my degree in Letters from the Pontifical Catholic University of Parana (PUC-PR). My experience includes teaching Portuguese and English in public and private schools in the Curitiba area on two occasions since 1997. My resume includes teaching jobs at the Military Police School in Curitiba, the state high school of the Parana state in Curitiba and an elementary bilingual school. I lived in Atlanta, Georgia. In Atlanta, I taught Brazilian Portuguese to people interested in learning the language. I currently live in Orlando, Florida where I also work as a Portuguese teacher for foreigners.
