Thank you for your interest in my service. I have more than 35 years teaching experience and my specialist subjects as a private tutor are Maths, English and Portuguese, with significant experience preparing students for the GCSE and A-Level exams successfully.

I have an updated Enhanced DBS Certificate, having subscribed to the Online Update Service, so it is renewed every year.

Having worked in the academic environment in London from September 2006 to December 2022 - mainly in Post-16 and Further Education - I have worked in Inclusive Learning with SLDD (Students with Learning Difficulties and Disabilities, such as Autism, Down Syndrome and PMLD).

I have a CERTIFICATE IN TEACHING MODERN LANGUAGES (PORTUGUESE) TO ADULTS in London (2006), a CERTIFICATE OF PROFICIENCY IN ENGLISH from the Cambridge University (since 2002), a CERTIFICATE FOR THE FOUNDATION COURSE IN PERFORMANCE STUDIES (DANCE PROGRAMME) from the Birkbeck College, University of London (2000) and a TEACHING QUALIFICATION IN PERFORMING ARTS from the Federal University of Rio Grande Sul (UFRGS), Porto Alegre, Brazil (1992).

While studying at the Federal University of Rio Grande Sul (UFRGS) in Brazil I have also collaborated in the Research Project "THE USE OF CORPOREAL ENERGIES IN THE ACTING TRAINING", funded by the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development / Ministry of Education and Culture (CNPq/MEC) - 1988-1992.

I attended the BA in Mathematics / BA in Geology during 3 years at the same University, before doing an internal transfer to Performing Arts in 1987.
