Douglas B B M Gomes

I am a 31-year-old from Rio de Janeiro. My father has always been aware of the importance of learning foreign languages, and so I remember learning them from a very young age. First English, then French, then Spanish, then Mandarin and so on.I enjoy, playing sports, swimming in rivers and waterfalls, playing sports (especially basketball and rugby), and also board games. I like History, Philosophy, Psychology, and Geography.I started teaching English in 2017, in private classes. Very quickly, I set up a course and was soon called to teach the employees and children served by the German NGO ’humedica’. I also became the translator who communicated between Germany and Brazil, working there from 2017 to 2019. Shortly before the pandemic, I also started teaching my native language Portuguese specifically to Chinese, both children and adults.My classes complement the students' daily or weekly study. I seek a balance between the four skills (listening, writing, speaking/pronunciation and reading). My English teaching materials are taken from the best sources and personalized.The Brazilian Portuguese teaching materials available on the market usually lack a really important pedagogic element which I correct and adapt for the material provided in my classes. I also have special material for teenagers.
