Jay Machado

Teaching has been fundamental in my life. It is a way I found/find to have contact with different people and epistemologies. It is also a way of seeing the world through different ideologies lenses. I am a talented professional teacher of English and Portuguese driven to improve productivity and pupil relations with attention to detail and professional demeanour. I have been teaching for 10 years. I use the communicative approach which is based on the idea that learning language comes through having to communicate real meaning.
