    About me:
    I love learning new things. I am always looking for new challenges.
    I am an English teacher and I have a lot of experience with children. I have worked as an aupair in the United States for two years. When I got back to Brazil I started teaching English and evetually opened my own private language school.

    To chill, I like watching series, or movies. I also enjoy going swimming or going for a bike ride.

    I grew up in a small city which makes me enjoy calm and tranquility. I am friendly and I like meeting new people.

    About my school:
    It is a small private English school in a country city in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The school has students from different age groups, but mostly teenagers. The workawayer who chooses this program will share his/her culture and teach English at our local language school. He/she is not required to have experience in teaching, but that, or a teaching certificate is a plus.
    We have a lesson plan that needs to be followed in the classes. The volunteer will receive training in the first week of arrival if he/she doesn't have experience with teaching.

    The workawayer will stay at my house, I have a spare bedroom with a double bed. He/she will share the bathroom with me. There is free food (whatever we eat).

    I ask volunteers to stay at least 6 weeks. In this case, volunteers will do no more than 20 hours of classroom instructions per week and 5 hours of preparation for the classes.

    If a workawayer wishes to come on a study visa, we also provide Portuguese lessons. Details will be discussed in a meeting.

    Volunteers who choose this program will be received with arms open and will be treated as family. It is going to be their home away from home.
