Questions for You

Q: What age range of students do you usually work with?

This will be my first official experience teaching Portuguese. So I’m open to working with anyone interested in learning!

Q: How do you approach lesson planning and preparation?

Depending on the learner's goal I will make worksheets, level tests, make some interactive quizzes, choose some songs to translate or learn about the background, grammar and vocabulary...

Q: How do you measure progress and assess learning outcomes for your students?

From time to time I will do level worksheets and oral tests to track the student's progress.

Q: Do you provide regular homework and assignments, and how do you review and provide feedback on student work?

I believe that some homework is crucial for language learning, but I won’t overwhelm you with assignments unless you prefer an intensive program. I think small research tasks, grammar and vocabulary exercises, and occasional writing assignments are essential to reinforce what we’ve learned and to keep you engaged in the process.

Q: What technology or resources do you use to enhance your lessons, particularly for online sessions?

I keep it simple with either Powerpoint, Canva or Prezi or for some instances youtube,

Q: Do you provide any additional support outside of scheduled lesson times, such as answering questions via email or phone?

Yes.

Q: Do you have any specific strategies for motivating students who may be struggling or disengaged with the subject material?

When a student is struggling with a particular topic, it's often necessary to approach it from a different angle. One of the greatest joys in teaching is finding the right approach to engage and motivate a student who may be feeling disengaged or unmotivated. It might take some conversation and understanding, but I’m persistent and won’t give up easily.

Q: Do you have experience working with students with learning differences or special needs?

No.
