Cześć, jestem...
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.
