Biography:

A native of São Paulo, I have lived in London for over six years. At the moment I teach group and one-to-one classes of Brazilian Portuguese. I'm currently carrying out a study comparing request strategies in Brazilian and European Portuguese as a final-year project for my BA in Applied Linguistics (Birkbeck, Univ. of London). If you live in London and need a Portuguese teacher/tutor, please drop me a line.
