a bit about me
Hi there! I’m Cambridge certified teacher, teacher educator and material designer based in Santos, São Paulo, Brazil. I’ve been involved in ELT since 2010.
I’m really interested in design, teacher education and technology. I strongly believe that a combination of these three skills can lead to memorable experiences to teachers and learners who participate in my initiatives.
