I have a Master's degree in Linguistics, which I obtained from the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Porto in Porto, Portugal. This program provided me with comprehensive knowledge and understanding of linguistics, focusing on various aspects of language and its structures. Prior to my master's degree, I completed a Teaching Degree in Languages, specializing in Portuguese and English, at Universidade Estácio de Sá in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This degree equipped me with the necessary skills and pedagogical knowledge to teach both languages effectively. To further enhance my qualifications, I pursued a postgraduate course in Pedagogical Neuroscience. This program, consisting of 360 hours of study, was conducted at Universidade Cândido Mendes in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Through this specialization, I gained valuable insights into the intersection of neuroscience and education, exploring how brain processes can impact teaching and learning strategies.

I am Cristiane, a language tutor, excited to guide you in your language learning journey. With a Master's degree in Linguistics, I possess in-depth knowledge of language structures and theories, providing a solid theoretical foundation for comprehensive language teaching. Additionally, I am TEFL certified, equipped with practical teaching skills tailored to non-native English speakers. My experience includes tutoring and teaching EFL, specializing in preparing students for the Cambridge English: First (FCE) examination. My teaching methods focus on creating an interactive and engaging environment, incorporating various resources and activities to cater to different learning styles. While I have experience with students of all ages, I specialize in teaching adults, understanding their unique challenges and motivations. I tailor lessons to meet specific needs, emphasizing real-life communication, vocabulary building, pronunciation improvement, and overall fluency. My goal is to develop both your linguistic abilities and your confidence in using the language, offering a supportive and encouraging learning environment. Let's embark on this journey together, exploring the language, overcoming challenges, and celebrating your successes.
