About
As an actor and a playwright with a large experience in television and theater, my process of teaching is to study a play or a script helping the student to discover the layers behind each line.
As a Portuguese teacher, my process of teaching consists of driving the students to the roots of my native language through a dynamic class where they can understand the context of what they are learning.
I do like to help people to discover their talents and capacities of learning, creating, and thinking. It makes a better teacher, writer, and actor. The process of learning and teaching is a unique experience that puts teachers and students to face their limits and ready to surpass them together.
