About Me
I'm a master's student at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, where I study organ performance.I came to the Netherlands in 2016 looking for a high-quality Higher Education in Musical performance, which I have found indeed.
In these last years, I've maintained close contact with Portuguese culture, through my frequent travels back home in Portugal, in a village near Porto, through my manny Portuguese friends and colleagues here, and through my own background, habits, and traditions.
At the same time, I've grown fond of Dutch culture, gaining interest if the History of the Netherlands, and learning the language.
I have always had a great interest and passion for History, Language, Literature, Ethnography and Gastronomy, and, of course, Music, with a natural proclivity for my native land, Portugal. I hope to share this passion with as many people as possible.
Education
Conservatorium van Amsterdam, Bachelor in Music Performance, organ. 2020.Currently attending Masters, Music Performance, organ, Conservatorium van Amsterdam, to be complete in June 2021.
Experience / Qualifications
Music teaching experience.Some experience in children-care.
Most experience comes from daily advice to younger family members with their school work.
My aim is to share with people my love for home cooking, based on what I've learned from my home country, Portugal. Portuguese gastronomy is rich, diversified, creative, and simply delicious. With the my help I hope to teach people tricks to improve their cooking at home, become more efficient and resourceful in their abbilities, while sharing gastronomic culture.

Portuguese language and culture lessons with a native speakerDe echte Portugese ervaring!
Advantages of learning a new language:
Learning a new language is fun. But what I’m (and you should be) after is not bilingualism but instead biculturalism. We think by aid of words. Therefore language shapes thought. In part this is because working in a second language slows down the thinking. No wonder people feel different when speaking a second language. And no wonder they feel looser, more spontaneous, perhaps more assertive or funnier or blunter.
Studies show that being able to speak another language is generally linked to a more flexible brain, developing the brain’s ability to plan and prioritize. Also it betters our defenses against dementia in old age.
Advantages of learning Portuguese:
• 250 million native speakers worldwide
• 5th most common language in the world
• It has been an official language since 1297
• It’s usage is spread over 4 continents (Europe, South America, Africa, Asia)
Now business,
For the past 5 years I've had more than 50 students and based on experience I recommend the following lesson duration (minutes):
Age gap 0-6 | 7-12 | 13-17 | 18-45 | 45-64 | 65+
Duration 30 | 30-60 | 60 | 90 | 90-60 | 45
Focus on diverse subjects is possible, for example, grammar, diction, reading comprehension, written production, conversational skills. Because the goal of most students is the ability to communicate, I’ve been developing my classes that way. I have acquired extra audio media specially for you :) to hear Portuguese being spoken at a different pace, accent and voice tone.
My method is based on a book (that I myself bring to the class and the student doesn’t need to acquire) which I'm fairly familiar by now. But what I really like is to talk to the student. So the book will be used to present the gramatical structure of the language while also serving as an inspiration platform for conversation topics.
Periodically we will evaluate how the classes are evolving so as to rapidly and effectively shift focus to where it is needed.

English Tutoring with Holistic Approach for All LevelsEnglish has become the Lingua Franca of our times. It's a valuable skill to possess, beneficial for everyone. It comes handy in the ever-developing world that we live in and opens doors to many places, also in the mind. Additionally, bilingualism enhances the cognitive skills.
Whether you'd like to improve your speaking skills and break the language barrier or you wish to prepare better for an English exam, I come to an aid.
I'm a 3-year Linguistic student, I've achieved the C1+ levels in English, on the CEFR scale. I have 2 years of experience living in London, where I acquired RP (received pronunciation) and 3 years of experience in the International Academia (Amsterdam). My linguistic background gives me the capacity to explain the sounds and various processes of the language, from a perspective many natives do not know. In teaching, I practice the holistic approach. It is my belief that language is for people of every age and education, but I'm aware that everyone deserves a personal approach. That's why I offer the first meeting unpaid, so we can get acquainted and discuss the expectations of both sides.
In classes, I will try to raise your confidence and knowledge in English, on 4 levels of proficiency: Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing. I will focus on your strengths and teach you how to use those to your advantage in learning. We will elicit your potential and together achieve the goals you set for yourself.

English Language & Literature, and IB Exam Prep for All AgesI specialise in English (British & American) tuition for native and non-native speakers of all ages, and have experience working with:
• young children learning English for the first time
• primary- and secondary-school students studying the English language and its literatures
• adult professionals and seniors wishing to improve their language skills, or develop pronunciation or presentational skills
I have two degrees in English language and literature (B.A. and Mst) from the University of Oxford, and I am also a graduate of the International Baccalaureate (I.B.) Diploma program. I've developed a creative approach in my sessions with students that involves applying a student's particular talents and interests (regardless of subject) in the process of language acquisition, along with the simultaneous development of critical skills like close and careful reading, argumentation, written style, and effective communication.
I am versed in the requirements and intricacies of a range of national and international diploma programs. When working with students supplementing an academic syllabus, my goal is always to position them to succeed in the assignments and assessments laid out by a primary instructor.

I graduated in Political and Economic Science at the University of Milan. After working for a year for an American company in Milan, I moved to Australia, where I have worked, studied and traveled for two years.

Since two years, I have been living in Haarlem - a wonderful city close to Amsterdam - and to the coast 🌊 - in the Netherlands.
I love teaching and helping people to find out more about Italian culture, history, and arts.
I would love to use all the modern techniques of teaching that I learned and practiced them with you.
Teaching is an extraordinary passion!
