Learn About Your Instructor
Amanda Homa was born in one of Brazil's largest cities - Curitiba, Paraná. She was raised in California in the United States from the age of 2. This unique life circumstance resulted in Amanda's native fluency and mastery of both English and Portuguese. Her knowledge of both languages is extensive, and her exposure to hundreds of English-learners and Portuguese-learners makes her keen on understanding the specific language differences that second-language learners need the most help with. Because she was raised by native Portuguese speakers who struggled to learn English, Amanda is very empathetic towards her students. She always has a positive and encouraging attitude toward their efforts in learning their target language.
In addition to her life experience, Amanda's educational and professional backgrounds make her a phenomenal language teacher. She worked in translations and interpreting for over a year, and has several years of combined professional experience in teaching ESL and tutoring Portuguese in both individual and group settings. In July of 2014, she received her Advanced Certificate in TESOL and her Advanced Certificate in Teaching Portuguese from the Canadian Institute of English & Applied Neuroscience. Her certificates provide evidence of her knowledge and application of 40 innovative teaching methods that allow students to learn their target language in ways that are compatible with how the brain wants to learn.
