Teacher Pri

I always liked to study and at a very young age (five years) I started to learn English, Japanese and Spanish. In fact, this is one of the best stages to start learning a new language, attention parents!

After finishing college I got a job at a North American company, an opportunity that would not be possible if I didn’t know how to speak all these languages!

 The life experience was fantastic and I had the opportunity to meet incredible people and places. But, something was still missing …

Despite being the job that many considered the “dream job” inside of me, I felt that I hadn’t fully found myself… I suffered some family losses and thought: Man, if I died tomorrow, is that what I wanted to do with my life?

I wanted something new, and at first I was afraid. Would I have the courage to change right for doubtful, and start from scratch? And didn’t I have?!? I gathered some money and said goodbye to my job without looking back.

In the meantime a friend suggested that I should enter a post-graduation program in English, so I decided to start it. In this course, ALL my colleagues were teachers, except for me!

Living with these heroes (yes, being a teacher in Brazil is an act of heroism) made me fall in love with the idea of ​​teaching, and decided to deliver a curriculum at a language school.

On the first day, minutes before class, I wanted to run scared! Ha ha ha! But as soon as the class started I was overcome with a sense of accomplishment, and it was as if God had sent a white dove towards me and said: This is what you were looking for !!!

Since then I have not stopped studying. There were more than 17 years of academic study (two faculties, five postgraduate courses, two Master’s degrees), courses in teaching at Cambridge University and many international tests.

Last year I opened my own language school and, even against all odds, I was successful! I have students in several countries and in less than a year I quadrupled my income, hired an employee and that is just the beginning.

Come on board with me on this journey. It will be a pleasure to help you make your dream come true too!
