I am a bilingual English, Portuguese, and French educator and musician with over 15 years of experience teaching English, FLE, and music. I love blending language learning with performance and creativity, and I’ve taught at Aix-Marseille University, GoStudent, Voilá, and through private online platforms. I enjoy building engaging, practical lessons that help students speak with confidence and enjoy the process. As the founder and manager of the Silver & Wood Romance Duo in London, I also organize artistic events, promote musicians to luxury venues, and manage contracts and customer relationships. My background covers teaching, curricula development, exam prep, and live music performance, which enriches my approach to education and collaboration.
