Introduction: Enthusiastic and Effective Portuguese Teacher with a Master’s in Education and Online instructor Certification I have been a teacher for more than 25 years and since I moved to Houston- US in 2010 I have teaching European Portuguese to students in classes, one-on-one, and online. I have a master’s degree in Education and I am a certified online instructor. I am positive that I will help you get the results you need! I make learning Portuguese fun as we explore the language and culture through activities tailored to your specific needs. Preparing for an upcoming business trip to Portugal, Angola or Mozambique? Let me help you with business customs and specialized vocabulary! Heading out for an extended vacation to Portugal? I can't wait to teach you some basics to make your vacation a success! Preparing to take the Caple exam? I'm here to prepare you to obtain excellent results! Wanting your children to learn their ancestors’ language? I have a lot of experience teaching kids and I make their learning an adventure! A little bit about me! I am from Portugal, I worked there as an elementary teacher, then I took a master’s degree in School Administration by the Universidade de Ciiências de Lisboa, and I became an Assistant Principal. In Houston, I have been teaching students from all over the world for more than 10 years at companies, universities, air force, hospitals. I have been teaching adults and children, of all levels! Also, I am a certified online instructor by eMentor- US Air Force. As a trained teacher and because I love to teach, I fully understand the difficulties of my students and they advance rapidly in their Portuguese learning with great results. Also, I provide materials adapted to the needs of each student, so our lessons will be fun and easy! Almost forgot, I love to talk about the Portuguese culture, so expect to learn idiomatic expressions used in the spoken language! Living and working here in the US provided me with a unique insight, and I look forward to sharing that as we work together to achieve your goal. Feel free to contact me with any additional questions you may have. Obrigada, São

Sao estava um bom professor! Sao was a great teacher for me when I was studying Portuguese and she was quick to respond when I needed some documents translated for my wife's immigration papers. Highly recommended

Sao is a great teacher! I initially learned Portuguese with her both in person and via Skype while working in Angola 5 years ago, and had 2 review classes with her to refresh recently. She is still extremely helpful, adapts her teaching to the students' needs, and is flexible with scheduling. Her assistance gave me the confidence I needed to do my job well, and I will continue to use her in the future if I need to refresh my Portuguese skills again.

I received one-on-one instruction in Portuguese from Sao for two years, to facilitate my work in Angola. She was excellent. She tailored my lessons to my needs and challenged me to increase my proficiency in the language. She is very professional, friendly, and always on time. My understanding of Portuguese grew exponentially under her tutelage. I was able to converse, conduct interviews, and make many new friends in Angola due to her help. Muito obrigado Dona Sao!
