I lived with Mattos and volunteered in his English School for about 10 weeks. I highly recommend this workaway experience - especially if you are interested in learning to teach (it was my first time in a formal teaching setting), expanding your teaching experience, learning basic Portuguese or improving your current level of Portuguese.

I volunteered with Mattos during March to June 2018, a period of 3 months and some of the best 3 months of my travel to date.
This school is lively and full of energy. You teach people of all ages, and get to see their confidence and skills in the English language develop during your time there. For me this was absolutely the best part of the… read more

Following my gut always proves to be the correct thing, and following it to Tangará da Serra to work at The Best School with Mattos was no exception. From the time I was picked up from the airport in Cuiabá (Capital city of Mato Grosso) everyone tried to make me feel welcomed. I was looking for something different and authentic for my first Work… read more

I lived and worked in Mattos' school for a month. I loved my private bedroom within the school, I loved the town, and I loved my students and colleagues! This is a great opportunity for anyone wanting to practice teaching English as a foreign language.

All I can say about Rob is that he is a Godsend. He helped me so much here in my school, everybody loved him, and my students, Gosh, they are still talking about him and asking if he´s coming back again.
I hope he will return some day in the future and like some British friends say, to have a blast from the past. And if anyone asks me about how… read more

His students love him - as he teaches with incredible enthusiasm. He responded to all of my inquiries very quickly prior to my… read more
