My tutoring approach bridges classroom theory with real-world environmental applications, creating engaging learning experiences for students at all levels. With dual qualifications in Geography (Bachelor's and ongoing Master's at UFRGS) and three years of teaching experience across diverse settings - from university extension programs to inclusive education classrooms - I've developed a multidimensional teaching methodology that adapts to each learner's needs.

Lessons follow an interactive format blending:

Conceptual Foundations - Clear explanations of geographical theories using customized visual aids (maps, satellite images, 3D terrain models)

Technical Skill-Building - Hands-on sessions with QGIS/ArcGIS for spatial analysis

Case Study Applications - Drawing from my fieldwork in environmental diagnostics (CPRM), desertification monitoring (MMA), and urban flood mapping

What sets my tutoring apart:

Field-to-Classroom Transfer: I incorporate actual data from my professional projects (like water quality analysis from Santa Catarina's coal basins or risk mapping from Porto Alegre's flood systems) to demonstrate real-world problem-solving

Multisensory Learning: Combine traditional cartography with drone imagery analysis and interactive web mapping platforms

Adaptive Pace Control: For exam preparation students, I employ targeted exercises based on ENEM/vestibular patterns; for university students, focus shifts to research methodology and academic writing

My teaching philosophy centers on making spatial thinking accessible. Whether helping a high school student grasp climate systems or guiding a college student through their first GIS project, I emphasize:
?? Contextual learning through local examples (RS/SC ecosystems)
?? Progressive skill scaffolding with measurable milestones
?? Continuous feedback loops using practice-based assessments

With dual expertise in education (CAPES Pedagogy Residency) and environmental analysis (CPRM/Rhama), I offer students unique insights into both academic geography and professional applications in environmental consulting. Lessons available in Portuguese, English, or Spanish to accommodate international students.
