I am half Brazilian and half Spanish. I grew up speaking English, Spanish, and Portuguese at home. This wide variety of cultures at home has provided me with a never-ending curiosity about different people, places, countries, music, gastronomies, etc...
I am driven by a desire to know more about my students and their context. In culture, I can foment bonds that will help me achieve a more accurate learning response from my students. I am an experienced teacher, I have over nineteen years of experience teaching languages.
Ich als Lehrkraft
Using Paulo Freire's methodology it is possible to create a strong bond with the student. This methodology and other dynamic resources such as mnemonics are my personal signature as a teacher. I like to employ videos, songs, cultural texts, and political and socio-geographical texts too. My goal is to find out what's the student's aim and how long they want to achieve it. Having traced their objectives the next step is to create a pedagogic plan based on their own characteristics.
I really believe in the power of a good teacher in life, it can change the perspectives of anyone.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
There are a few methods I'm familiar with, too many to mention in only 700 words. Nonetheless I'd like to highlight Language through Mnemonics which has the advantage of helping you out with easy to remember catchphrases or the one hour of exercises per one hour of homework that add a nice dynamic and a quick sense of accomplishment.
I have worked with more strict and widely accepted methods from Cambridge, Cervantes, AULP, Harvard, and others which are exam-guided for adults and youngsters alike. Private schools methodologies as well.
By far the method I like the most is Paulo Freire's education for liberation which has the advantage of quickly building trust between student and teacher.
Ivan is awesome! He is great at providing a lot of cultural context while teaching Portuguese, and is helping to push me out of my comfort zone with the language. I really like the casual lessons with both formal and informal exercises. :)

Ivan presented many of his teaching methods that I was given the opportunity to test and see how I liked. He developed his lesson plan through his personal background but made sure to take into account where I was coming from a North American background. All-in-all he was energetic and straight to the point about who he is and how he likes to teach!
