Marcela Santos

I am Brazilian from Rio de Janeiro. I'm 38 years old. I love to read, a lover of cinema, theater, nature and animals. My passion is teaching my language and culture. I have been living in Ecuador for 9 years. I have been a Portuguese teacher for foreigners for 9 years. I have been working as a university professor in Guayaquil-Ecuador for 7 years. I am also a Portuguese/Spanish translator. My teaching style is characterized by being dynamic, interactive and focused on the individual needs of my students. Whether you are interested in learning Portuguese for travel, work or simply for the love of languages, I am here to help you achieve your goals. In my classes, I like to combine interactive activities, such as role plays, discussions and practical exercises, with the study of grammar and listening comprehension. I encourage the active participation of the students. I firmly believe in learning through practice that allows many opportunities to speak and write in Portuguese. My main goal is for you to develop solid communication skills in Portuguese. I focus on improving your pronunciation, fluency and comprehension so that you can communicate effectively in everyday situations. In addition, I also make sure that you acquire a solid knowledge of the grammar and vocabulary necessary to build a solid foundation.
