Description
Hello there, I'm Sergio, me and my family run a small language school in a small country city in the southern of Brazil. We want to connect people around the world to share experiences, learn about new culture, to envolve our beloved students! We teach to students from little kids starting with 5 years old until grown up adults who work all day and at night come to learn English.
I'm 63 years old retired guy, my wife is a housekeeper and is 58 years old, and we both are really friendly and happy to meet people around the world, and we will host you and treat you like the yungest child...
We already had a lot of interns from countries like Poland, Germany, Russia, Colombia, Mexico, Ireland, USA, etc.... and the experience was always awesome!!!! Some of them came trought workaway, and our experiense was very nice.
It's possible to see the students eyes shining when they hear about foreign life experiences. People in a small city are mostly unaware of all possibilities around the world, so it's a great opportunity to show to our students the beautiful side of other people's culture and to give them an oportunity to improve their English, since forein languages are not strongly thought in our regular schools.
We currently have 5 teachers all of them from Brazil, we also have a French, a Spanish and a German teacher (but English it's the main course). Our goal here is to make our students have a real and nice experience in conversations with a foreiner and most important, learn about other cultures! We can guarantee that both sides will have the opportunity to learn a lot :) PS. I can also teach portuguese for those thar are interested.
