I was born in Brazil to American parents and spent the first 15 years of my life in Brazil. I went to Brazilian and American schools. I speak both languages fluently but English comes more easily to me since I’ve been in the USA for most of the last 40 years. I’ve raised and tutored my 3 children who are now grown and very successful in the medical and business fields. I’ve translated materials for corporations from Portuguese into English and I’ve gone on many mission trips as a translator....
I was born in Brazil to American parents and spent the first 15 years of my life in Brazil. I went to Brazilian and American schools. I speak both languages fluently but English comes more easily to me since I’ve been in the USA for most of the last 40 years. I’ve raised and tutored my 3 children who are now grown and very successful in the medical and business fields. I’ve translated materials for corporations from Portuguese into English and I’ve gone on many mission trips as a translator. I’ve worked part time in child care and volunteered many years as a children’s Bible class teacher. I enjoy reading, traveling, and my family.
I learned to read in English and Portuguese simultaneously by living in Brazil and attending schools that taught both languages. I was also being tutored by my mother who was an American 2nd grade teacher and missionary. I moved to the States when I was 15. In college I majored n Mass Communications and made the Deans List every semester.
I’d love to tutor the children who have to learn English when English is not their first language or, like me, having to learn to read in two languages simultaneously. Please call me and I can help you and make it fun!
