𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐬
A Portuguese/English Teacher. As she is a native speaker, sharing her love for her language and culture has become her passion. She has been teaching since 2019. She tries to make classes as fun and interactive as she can, all while teaching the objectives. Her biggest joy is to see that self-confidence build up and put into practice when we role-play skits in her class, or when students are able to use what they learned in class out in the real world.
Learning a new language can be intimidating, but she believes that my enthusiastic, cultural approach to teaching enables students to acquire language skills in a manner that keeps them interested and motivated.
