Olá 🙂

My name is Daniela Cerqueira Pissarra and I am the pedagogical coordinator of Portuguese School. Proudly, I have taught portuguese as a foreign language, for more than 10 years now, to students from more than 40 nations, who learn portuguese for many purposes. I created the original Portuguese School’s own rigorous and fun teaching method. As an absolute passionate teacher nowadays I teach at least one student or group of each level (A1 to C2) because I also believe that the best way to inspire the teachers that we have carefully chosen for our team, is sharing with them my permanent experience. Daily I teach how to teach, I create new dynamics and pedagogical contents, from books to grammar, I speak to all our students and listen to their feedbacks, and I teach!

O entusiasmo da aprendizagem no aluno é o resultado de um professor apaixonado por ensinar.
