I am a native of Brazil, who has lived in the U.S for almost 40 years. I have taught English, ESL, Portuguese and Social Studies for almost as long. I am an enthusiastic person, who loves learning and teaching and who has a passion for language, literature, history and geography. I am licensed and taught in Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, California and now, in Colorado. In 1998, while teaching in Massachusetts I received an award, called “You are Specialâ€, from Framingham Public Schools
