Born in Lisbon in the nineties, it was very early that I discovered a passion for languages. Listening to, reading and understanding languages has fascinated me and played a foundational role in who I am today. My academic path has given me the chance to live in Paris and I currently live in London, while finishing my PhD. It was here that, a few years ago, a friend asked me if I would teach them Portuguese: combining languages and teaching, two things I am passionate about, was a natural step. From then on, a journey began for which I am truly grateful and that I wish to spend more time doing. Teaching a language is about more than just the words, it's about connecting people across the globe, establishing bridges between cultures and helping everyone find new ways to communicate.
