I was born in Brazil, lived in Japan and now I live in North Carolina. I have worked with these three languages, but I am currently mainly focusing on ESL and Brazilian Portuguese. I also teach Japanese for beginners and intermediate students.

My almost 20 years of experience in language teaching, interpreting, and translation made me believe that language learning is effective when it is aligned with your emotions.

I use my talents and skills not only to provide the best technical tools, but also to help you to identify your language learning style.

I am also a printmaker (visual artist) and I have been showing my artworks in many venues in the Triangle Area, NC.
