About Emilia

I am passionate about languages. I have been teaching Portuguese in London since 1999, in language schools as well as private tuitions in companies or at the student's home. I have been preparing students who are going to Brazil for professional reasons and others who want to learn Portuguese because Brazil is their favourite holiday destination. Many of my students have friends or family members who are Brazilian and they want to be able to communicate with them in their native language. All of them end up fascinated by the diversity of the Brazilian culture. Most recently, I have been preparing students for the GCSE and A-Level exams. 

- What kind of experience do you have?

I have more than 35 years experience in teaching Performing Arts in Primary and Secondary Schools. Since moving to London in 1998, I have been teaching in Inclusive Learning (Furher Education). My last/present position was Lecturer in the Inclusive Learning Department at the Ealing, West London & Hammersmith College, working with learners within the Autism Spectrum, Down Syndrome and PMLD.

As a native Brazilian/Italian and qualified language teacher, I have been teaching Portuguese as a Foreign Language in London, in Language schools such as Lingua Direta and BERLITZ, as well as in private tuition to individuals and companies since 1998. I have also been preparing students for the GCSE and A-Level Portuguese.

Before choosing to graduate in Performing Arts - Teaching Qualification - in Brazil, I had completed 3 years studying at the Faculty of Mathematics and Geology and at that time I started working as a Maths tutor, preparing students for the exams required to enter university. For that reason I feel confident teaching Maths. Since moving to London, where I have been teaching Dance and also carried on teaching Maths in private tuition, I have always felt very motivated to think out of the box while exploring the most effective teaching techniques for the different learning styles - specially the kinaesthetic - in order to provide a unique experience for every one of my students.

- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?

Yes, I have an updated Enhanced DBS Certificate. I have the subscription to the DBS Certificate – Update Service renewed every year.

I am a native Brazilian qualified to teach Portuguese as a Foreign Language. I am also a qualified Performing Arts teacher and frequently use my expertise in that area to plan and deliver creative and motivating lessons. The methodology I use will be individually tailored in order to meet the student's needs, therefore it will depend on the reason why they are learning Portuguese: preparing for an exam, practicing Portuguese for professional reasons or just for entertainement.

Thank you for your interest in my service. I have more than 25 years teaching experience. I teach Portuguese, Yoga-based Body Awareness, Dance, Maths and English/ESOL to all ages, including Special Needs (Autism).
