About Me

🇺🇸 [ENG] I was born in Lisbon, closer to the ocean, but my family comes from a small village on the Portuguese-Spanish border. I grew up surfing and studying photography. In 2015, I immigrated to the States and lived there until 2020. I got degrees from Southern Utah University in Communications and Media Studies, and English Literature. I'm currently based in Portugal! 🇵🇹 [PRT] Nasci em Lisboa, perto do mar, mas a minha família vem duma aldeia perto da fronteira espanhola. Cresci a surfar e estudei fotografia. Em 2015, imigrei para os Estados Unidos onde vivi até 2020. Licenciei-me na Southern Utah University em Comunicação e Media, e Literatura Inglesa. Atualmente, resido em Portugal!Me as a Teacher
🎓 TESOL CERTIFIED by Arizona State Uni. 🎓
🇺🇸 As a teacher, I am flexible and adaptable. I want to know what your language goals are and work together. Courses focus on learning basic sentence construction for beginners and complex intellectual thinking for more advanced students. Other courses focus on text editing and preparation for interviewing.
🇵🇹 Como professor, sou flexível e adaptável. Quero saber quais são os seus objetivos linguísticos e posteriormente trabalhar em conjunto. Os meus cursos vão desde a introdução sobre a construção da frase (iniciantes) até ao pensamento inteletual complexo (avançados). Outros cursos focam-se na edição de texto e preparação para entrevistas.My lessons & teaching style
🇺🇸 Depending on your level, I'll increase the difficulty by requesting a higher level of care, sharpness and attention. We'll start with understanding sentence construction but quickly jump into reading articles. I'm a fan of multimedia, which I use to increase diversity and trigger the student's motivational levels.
🇵🇹 Dependendo do teu nível linguístico, aumentarei a dificuldade, ao exigir um cuidado maior de escrita e fala, e maior atenção ao detalhe. Começaremos por perceber a construção básica de frases, mas rapidamente passaremos para leitura de artigos, etc. Sou fã de multimedia, que uso para aumentar a diversidade e os níveis de motivação dos estudantes.My teaching material

Tiago made my first job interview PERFECT! I received several compliments about my English and they said they liked my profile a lot. And that was thanks to all the research that Tiago did to direct me, so I could give the best answers!
Now I'm super motivated to look for more and more jobs in English! It was my first and I've done so well, I'm being considered to the position and also heard good things about my English. I'm very happy! And the classes had FULL influence on that, for sure it wouldn't have been the same if I had done it without having prepared with him! And if I need more for the next interviews, I won't think twice about scheduling more classes with him, it helped me a lot! Thank you so much Tiago, for so much dedication to what you do!
