Hi, I am Erica. I graduated from PUC-Rio more than twenty years ago. My major was English and Portuguese language and literature and I have been teaching since then. I have worked at several different English schools in Rio where I have had the pleasure of preparing hundreds of students not only to communicate in the English language in general, but also to take proficiency and scored-based tests. I also had the chance to live in the United States for a while, studying and working. Throughout all these years, I have already worked as a manager in different school units in Rio and have taken an Executive MBA at UFRJ. What I really enjoy doing is teaching adults. I work with the communicative approach with 100% customized online classes. I strongly believe that adult students learn better, when they are in the center of their own learning process and exposed to practical and contextualized content. With all my experience, I certainly understand the needs and anxiety of the English language adult student and I am ready to motivate and establish the right goals for you. Let's talk so that I can get to know your objectives and you can get to know a bit more about my work.Sou formada em Letras pela PUC-Rio e dou aulas de inglês há mais de 20 anos. Já lecionei em diversos cursos tradicionais do Rio de Janeiro e praticamente todas as metodologias existentes. Já preparei centenas de adultos para exames de proficiência, TOEFL e situações diversas que o mercado de trabalho exige. Tenho MBA executivo e já trabalhei por mais de dez anos com gestão educacional.No entanto, o que gosto mesmo é de desenvolver pessoas na língua inglesa e de vê-las progredindo em suas carreiras e projetos pessoais. Sou apaixonada pelo que faço e acredito que isso contagia e motiva meu alunado. Trabalho com a metodologia comunicativa e utilizo diversos recursos para que a aula seja o mais personalizada possível.
