About Me
My name is Cinthia Ferreira and I am a teacher and translator currently living in Canada. I offer English and Portuguese courses to adult learners and business professionals of all levels worldwide. I’m a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker and have been teaching Portuguese and ESL for more than fifteen years in language schools, companies, and private classes. My courses are designed to meet the student’s specific learning needs. My main interest is to develop practical, relevant and effective skills and knowledge. My classes are generally conducted via Skype. Scheduling is flexible and a variety of course types are available. I create and design my own materials and I also use a variety of interesting websites and publishers’ online materials to make the teaching and learning process more interactive and fun.
About My Blog
I’m blogging to share some English and Portuguese activities and tips and promote a continuous learning environment to my students so they can be motivated to keep on learning English and Portuguese for their personal development. My blog contains language resources for students who need to learn and practice English and Portuguese and don’t have enough time to attend classes in a language school due to lack of flexibility. My aim is to experiment with the incredible free online tools available and to share my results in order to encourage language learning in a creative, interesting environment and hopefully make the process of online learning easier and more inspiring for students. Everyone is welcome to share my materials and suggest new ideas for future posts.
