My name is Jane Elizabeth
I am graduated in Portuguese and Literature, and expanded myknowledge of languages by travelling around the world. I had an
interesting work experience abroad, and currently use all my formal
education as well as my personal know-how to enhance my classes.
Experience as Portuguese teacher for foreigners in Brazil and abroad:
Teacher of Portuguese Language for Foreign Students – Cândido Mendes University,
Rio de Janeiro. As such I was responsible for the organization and application of a program to permit foreign students to apply for regular University education in Brazil.
Teacher of Portuguese Language
for expatriate executives and their families – since 1984:
Mendes Jr International Co. Baghdad Office – Iraq,
PLUS Language Course and Training – Rio de Janeiro,
Halliburton and Petrobrás - RJ,
Rémy Beverage Distributor for the Caribbean and Latin America,
Telemar (Telcom) - RJ,
and other companies.
My professional focus has always been to prepare expats and their families to develop efficient social and professional activities, both from a cultural point of view as well as from a linguistic stance.
Private Lessons, the big ‘plus’
By means of private classes one can focus on individual
interests as well as on specific individual difficulties.
• Full time active participation of the student.
• Interacts in near to real situations.
• Learns both formal and spoken language.
• Apart from the written and spoken language the foreign student also learns its
harmony as well as its body language.
• Lessons are fun and easy to learn.
• The rhythm of the lessons is established by the student´s learning ability.
