Personal Description:
Hello! I have a Biomedical Sciences degree and also work as a language tutor for my native Portuguese (Brazilian), European Portuguese (as I'm living in Lisbon at the moment) and English as a second language. I consider myself outgoing, patient and very reliable.
Teaching Experience:
I was Biology prefect in my final year at school which involved helping to teach younger classes. In Brazil I taught an english class in the evenings and now I teach privately over Skype.
Teaching Approach:
My approach to teaching will be engaging, challenging and above all I will strive to create an environment which makes the tutee want to push him/herself proactively rather than being spoon-fed. The result will be that the tutee will enjoy learning meaning the progress and benefits will start to become apparent fast.

From Aaron (/5): Mairara is wonderful teacher. Very engaging and positive. She has been very patient with me as a student and accommodated how slow I can be in grapsing some aspects of the Portuguese language. The lessons have flowed wonderfully and I am slowly building my skills under her guidance.
The highest praise I can give her… the lessons are fun!
