I'm a strong believer that you learn when you have fun so I try to blend humor with the topic at hand but I'm also strict in terms of self-studying and homework.
I always adapt my classes to my student's needs, levels and learning goals.
For me, communication is a major part of the class so at the end of each class we do a check back on what went right or wrong so we can progress next time.
I have 6 months of experience teaching Oral English to university students in China. I have taught Mandarin for more than 6 months online to 3 students- all individual classes and with great learning results over those months.
I have international teaching experience so teaching Portuguese as a foreign language would be no problem. I also taught Portuguese to colleagues and friends on informal occasions. Furthermore, I have a university background in teaching Portuguese as a foreign language.
In case of cancellation of the class without 24 hours notice before the date of the actual class, the student needs to pay for the full amount of the class.
