About Adolfo
I am a seasoned professional with more than fifteen years of experience in foreign language teaching and international exam preparation (TOEFL, IELTS and Cambridge). My professional motivation is to help my students with their goals through meaningful, relevant and memorable lessons. I have extensive experience with students of different nationalities, ages, language levels, cultural and professional contexts. In addition, I am also involved in teacher training and language school management initiatives. I really enjoy giving academic, operational and strategic support to my colleagues. Needless to say I also learn a lot from them. I have a degree in Languages (Portuguese and English) as well as world-renowned teaching qualifications, among other courses. I also hold the C2 Proficiency (CPE).
