Tutor
I am 25 years old, married and have a two year old son, Christian, and a 3 month old son, Joseph. I lived in Brazil from 2003-2005. I traveled around a lot and lived in São Paulo, Brasília-Distrito Federal, Cuiabá-Mato Grosso, Gurupi do Tocantins, Valparaíso-Goiás, and Serra, Espírito Santo.
Fluent speaker of Brazilian Portuguese and English.
Perfect score on Portuguese language proficiency test. I lived in Brazil for over 2 years working in a variety of fields including teaching, music, law, religion, and international relations.
I studied Japanese for 4 years at the university and have tutored, trained and studied it on my own for 6 years.
I CLEP tested into Spanish 301 and did personal study for another 8 weeks. I received an A- in the class where I gave several presentations, read several books, and wrote several research papers in Spanish. I am very familiar with the linguistics, grammar, syntax, and semantics of Spanish but (disclaimer) since I have studied it for such a short time, I don’t know specifics about the individual Spanish-speaking countries.
Translation and interpretation for various companies and individuals around the world. Mostly Portuguese-English as they are my best languages.
I’ve been studying SLA (Second Language Acquisition) for 5 years and have experience and training in TESL and general linguistics. I am a native speaker of English from the northwest region of the United States and have a neutral accent. I typically read between 15 and 30 books per year.
My best credential is that I love helping others learn.
