I really love watching TV shows/movies, listening to music, playing some games and reading books. I consider myself a "geek", for I love this whole "super-heroes" and "fantasy" world.
Besides that, I love learning new languages and new cultures, so this experience at Cultura is being insane and super fun 'cause I never thought that I'd be a student while being the teacher in a class haha
Following Bea, for those who believe in zodiac signs, I'm an Aries, but I PROMISE that I'm not that bad like you think we are, I'm a total sweetheart! LOL. Oh, and for those who are into the "16 personalites" thing, I'm a ENFP.
So, I think this is it! Hope we meet in person someday and feel free to chat me whenever you want! Let's chat about anything and be friends!!! <3

My name is Isabela and I'm from São Gonçalo's branch. Besides teaching, one of my biggest passions is translation. I study Letras-Inglês at UFF and I am part of this lab that works with translations of all sorts. Right now we are working with subtitles! (or audio-visual translation-AVT). I also love reading, especially short stories (I'm sorry novel fans). I'm obsessed with pop culture, I love watching movies and tv shows in my free time, listening to music, discovering new bands and artists (I confess that I tend to fangirl a lot haha). I believe that’s it for now. Nice to meet y’all!

Working here has been awesome, and I would appreciate so much if I could remain teaching here, and meet you all someday!

Teylor Moreira :)

2021-08-25 21:39:56 UTC

Hello, everyone !

It's hard to talk about myself, especially because I feel like I’m changing every second, but some things never change (or Do they ?). My name is Teylor ( pronounced like “Taylor”) with an “e”, it looks strange, but I got used to it and I wouldn't change it. I am twenty years old and I don’t like the fact that I look older than I should, but still I look drop dead gorgeous. As you can see I have a huge sense of humor. I love talking and socializing with all kinds of people mainly when I make them laugh, for some reason it makes me feel good. It’s not something I usually do consciously; it comes out naturally.

I’m not always the happy person people think I am all the time, but there’s already so much sadness in the world, why not try to give people the opposite?
I've been working as a trainee teacher at Cultura Inglesa ( at taguatinga -DF branch ) for 1 year and a half. As I mentioned before I love interacting with people and that's why teaching and being taught is perfectly splendid to me. Being a teacher is not who I am, but is a huge part of it.

Fernanda Maranhão

2021-08-27 13:48:02 UTC

Hi, guys!
My name is Fernanda, I'm from Leblon's branch. I love listening to music and watching TV series. At the moment I'm addicted in Modern Family, I watch it everyday and I'm almost finishing it. I also love art and trying new things. This year I started taking aerial classes at a Circus school and I'm loving it! :)

Currently watching The 100. This serie is a good example to reflect about our society (envirolment impact and humanity and politics).

(GREEN IS MY FAVORITE COLOR)

I decided to teach because it's so good to see people's development trough learning and it is been a good experience working at Cultura Inglesa.

Amanda Nanni

amandananni — 2021-09-20 22:06:05 UTC

Hi guys! What's up?
I'm 27 years old and I'm from Bonsucesso's branch.
I study Português-Inglês at UFRJ and giving classes is my passion. Besides giving classes, I also work as a freelance translator sometimes and this has helped me a lot with my knowledge. I was always curious and as English is always changing, I love learning new expressions, ancient words (someday I was reading Celtic just to know the origin of some words. bc yeah, I'm that curious). I'm kinda geek too, but I don't like to say that because I'm very eclectic and people can get surprised. When I have free time, I love listening to music, writing, watching some movies and spending time with my family. I love animals and I have 5. 3 cats and 2 dogs.
I've been studying English to always improve and I hope one day I can get the opportunity to study abroad.
The person who inspires me every day is my grandmother, because of her I started studying english.
To finish, I'm pisces and that means I talk a lot if you let me.
I also have purple hair but maybe I dye red in the future.
It's a pleasure to meet you and I hope as well I can make good friends!

Amanda de Oliveira

2021-09-21 14:32:58 UTC

Hello there! I'm Amanda.

I recently started as a trainee at the Asa Norte branch and it's been great so far!

Like many others here, I enjoy reading and watching TV shows in my spare time. One of the things I like the most about watching English language media is hearing all the different accents and trying (unsuccessfully) to imitate them. I always have a blast laughing at my attempts to sound anything but Brazilian.

I'm looking forward to learning more about teaching and to working with you guys!

Pedro Frazão

I'm a huge fan of Friends and Modern Family, watching one of them is what I do to feel relaxed and forget about the problems.

Being a teacher has never been something too far from my desires, since childhood I like the idea of teaching people, not just the traditional subjects we learn at school.

Despite that, my goal to become the kind of teachers I had as a student is still the priority!

Now, talking about myself is what I consider the most challenging, so please be nice to me if it doesn’t look cool hahah. I guess I can say my interests are in those classic nerdy things, such as gaming, reading, music and anything that seems nice looking into.These last few years I’ve been into Japanese culture, so anime and manga are on the top list of things I’m consuming. I’m sure we’ll get along once we meet and I can't wait for that! =D

First of all it's a pleasure to meet you all, I'm really happy for the oppotunity to work at Cultura! :) My name is Luana but you can call me Lu, Lua or a different nickname, I'm 20 years old. I live in Brasília and I work at Asa Sul branch. Right now I'm a undergraduated student at UnB and I study Foreign Applied Languages and since I was a child my great passion was foreign languages, currently I study English, French, Spanish and Japanese. I really loooove listen to music, to sing, to draw and any other art expression and I also play tabletop RPG with my UnB friends. Also, I'm a girl scout and I have 5 cats. I consider myself an extrovert person and I appreciate very much making new friends. Most of the time I'm a sensitive person ~~literaly a crybaby~~ and at the same time brave and resilient. That's a little bit about me! Feel free to ask me anything you want and let's be friends. >w<

Hey everyone!

I'm Thayná, I'm 24 years old and I've been a TT at Tijuca 1 for already three months. And I have to say that this short period working here has been insane (in a good sense)!

I study Portuguese/English at UFRJ and having the opportunity of connect the knowledge and experiences from college with Cultura, and vice versa, is something that is beyond the words. It is really a pleasure being here learning with you all!

I hope we get to know each other better with time :)

Hello, everybody! My name is Amanda, I'm a trainee teacher at Águas Claras - DF. I’m 24 and I’m an undergraduate in English at Católica. I love learning languages, guess I got that from my mother, she’s a Portuguese teacher and former student at Cultura, just like me. Currently I study French and I would love to learn Spanish in the future. :)

Other than foreign languages, I love music, movies, series, books (fantasy’s my favorite genre), traveling and sewing. I’ve been at my branch for a short amount of time by now, but I already learned soooo much! I’m excited for what the future holds and I’m also very grateful for this opportunity here at Cultura.

Nice to meet you guys!

Besides that, I study Letras at UFRJ, I'm an entrepreneur, I'm the owner of a collectibles company and been selling worldwide for like an year and a half. My dream was always to work with idioms, not only by negotiating at 2 am with a Japanese guy on ebay but also giving and showing the incredible possibilites that languages give to us. That's pretty much it, I'm a simple man.

Hopefully everybody will have an incredible journey here.

Teaching English - especially at Cultura - started as a childhood dream, when I first came here at age 11. Since then, studying English was one of my hobbies, and now, I'm in college to continue this path.

I'm crazy about learning a new language, making new friends and travelling!

One fact about me: I'm a scout and I'm always up for new adventures!

Nice to meet y'all!

Hello, everybody! I'm Beatriz from São Gonçalo, RJ. I'm a 25-year-old language aficionado.
I've had the opportunity to teach in different schools while being a college student. Teaching has been such a great experience. I've taught 4-year-old kids as well as elders. Sometimes I feel like I'm learning more from them than they are from me! Classrooms are magical places.
So far, I have witnessed amazing skills from the teachers in the Icaraí 2 branch! Shout out to teacher Ana Claudia, she rocks! (So, does everybody else, of course).
I can't wait to learn more about all the possibilities that teachers and students are able to achieve together.
Needless to say that I'm beyond happy to be part of the TT programme.
Nice to meet you all!
Cheers!

2022-12-15 14:29:39 UTC

Hello, people! I'm a recent Trainee Teacher in the Sudoeste branch. The other Trainee Teacher left before I came, so for now is just me. I'm here for almost 2 months and it feels like it's a lot more! I've learned a lot and it's being a wonderful experience. :) To be a Cultura student in the Águas Claras branch in 2018/2019 made me want to be a teacher as well as teaching in Cultura, so I can say I'm living a dream. Also, I had the chance to have Ana Garcia, that was my Master teacher, as one of my mentors as a TT, which is magical! I really feel like this experience I'm living fullfills all of my needs at the moment and I'm very happy for it. I'm heading to my last but one semester of Letras Português e Inglês at UDF and I'm looking for being effective in a not so long future! I love animals, specially dogs and cats and my favorite movie/series genre is sci-fi! I also like to read psychological and self help books like Women Who Run With the Wolves. I hope to meet the trainee teachers of Asa Sul branch soon, it feels kind of lonely here sometimes! (but everyone is very supportive) Bye bye :)

Hi guys! My name is Leonardo Coelho and I'm 27. I work as a trainee teacher at Cultura Inglesa - Bueno in Goiânia, Goiás. I've always loved to study English and other languages, but I'm actually graduated in Computer Science! But what I really love is teaching so I set aside programming and tech and now I'm finally living my dream of being a student of Letras at PUC Goiás and working at Cultura Inglesa!!! :)
At first I learned English thru playing games and watching movies, but completed my English Course in Brasas back in 2013. Recently I studied Japanese for one year and half and it was an amazing experience, I hope to get back to it when I finish my graduation course. As I mentioned, I love playing video games, watching movies, reading books and going out with my friends!

Malu Corecha

2023-01-31 12:45:05 UTC

Hey, everyone! My name is Maria Luiza - but i've been called Malu my whole life -, I'm 20 but I'll turn 21 on February 21st. I'm a trainee teacher at Cultura Inglesa's Nova Iguaçu branch. I'm currently pursuing a double degree in Portuguese, French and its respective litteratures at UFRJ and Journalism at UCAM.
I've been attracted to the study of languages and litterature since I was little, and although english has been my favorite language since I was three, I've chosen the graduation in French due my unexplainable obsession with Victor Hugo and Anaïs Nin.
I'm also addicted to bway/west-end musicals, history, cheesy romance books and Taylor Swift.

Thayane Silva

thayaneconceicao1 — 2023-02-10 12:06:54 UTC

Hi everyone!!!!! My name is Thayane. I am 29 years old and i'm the new trainee teacher at Campo Grande 1. I'm majoring in portuguese and english at UVA. My history with the english language started in 2007 with the tv show friends, that i watched every day after school and by watching it so much i started learning english and before i knew it i could understand and speak the language at 15 years old. I never thought i could teach english so when i was ready to go to college i unfortunately choose another area to study. I studied administration for 4 years but afterwards realized that was not the area for me. After a few years of self-discovery i got my first job as a teacher with no experience and realized that it was what i've always wanted to do.

Ana Beatriz Oliveira

2023-02-16 15:33:54 UTC

Hey there, guys!
My name is Ana Beatriz, but I prefer being called Beatriz.
I'd already been teaching by myself for three years before I was accepted here.
I am a trainee at Petrópolis and it's been a dream that I've never imagined that one day I could achieve.
I am passionate about music, books and series which helped me a lot with my English when I started studying.
My ultimate dream is to move abroad and I'm working on it every single day.

Victor Guerra

2023-02-28 14:53:49 UTC

Hello, everyone! My name is Victor Guerra and I'm the new Trainee Teacher at Botafogo/RJ Branch. I study at UFF, in Niterói/RJ. I love to go out with my friends and when I'm alone, I like to play my video games. I love music too! That's why I love going to shows! Nice to meet you!!

2023-03-01 13:05:13 UTC

Hello there, everyone! My name is Brenda and I'm 21(TS says it's supposed to be fun turning 21, but I'm not feeling it yet). Right now, I am the new Trainee Teacher at the Icaraí Branch. Although, I am currently a Literature student at Universidade Federal Fluminense, I'm actually from Irajá, RJ. To be honest, me and Cultura Inglesa have an old history since I started taking classes at the Vista Alegre branch around 2009 and stayed there till 2018.
Although I had always been a communicative person, I must admit that Cultura and their teachers had a major impact on my preference for Letras at college, besides the fact that I spent probably half of my life there, so I made some hopefully lifelong friends and cultivated a deep cherish for English and an interest about learning languages.
Must also say that I am a multiple-hobby girly and I'd really love the day to have at least 48 hours so I could do a thousand different things in one single day. However, since it is not possible, some of my hobbies are: artcraft in general, watching movies, going to concerts. Also, I am a real hardcore music lover, everything I do must follow a background soundtrack and I am into (almost) every genre, from MPB to indie rock.
Among other hobbies, reading is probably my oldest one. Although the academical articles demand time and attention, some of my course's subjects, such as brazillian literature, have helped to increase my passion for literature.
I am also a Pisces but I don't know what you could do with that information.
Well, as you can see, I talk a lot but I swear I'm not THAT annoying! I'm sorry! Nice to meet y'all, hope you have a great semester!

Luisa Magno

2023-03-09 12:26:56 UTC

Hi, everyone! I am Luisa Magno, one of the trainee teachers at Hyper English. I'm 26 years old and I'm majoring in Languages and Literature at UFRRJ. Besides that, I also have a Journalism degree from UFRJ and have worked as a makeup artist for four years.
I live in Campo Grande, RJ, since I was born. My hobbies include reading (I am currently reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes), listening to music (my favourites include but are not limited to Adore Delano, LOONA, Jonas Brothers, and Demi Lovato), playing The Sims and spending time with friends.
I believe knowledge is a key that opens many doors, so being able to go to university for a second time and also getting to work here at Cultura/Hyper is a dream! Learning new things and sharing them with people is my passion, and I hope to continue doing that for the rest of my life.
In the future, I want to study abroad and maybe live in a foreign country for a couple of years, at least.
Nice to meet you! I hope we can make the most of this experience and wish success to all of us!
