About Lais
My teaching method is based on the needs of the students. I am trained in the theories of Paulo Freire and bell hooks which I apply to design pedagogical activities centered on the learning styles and objectives of each student or group. To learn more about my methodology please follow the links below and check out the articles that I have already published on the subject:

I have had 10 years of experience in the classroom. I started my career with private classes alphabetizing children. Soon after, I started teaching at the Federal University of Bahia. I moved to the USA after an exchange abroad program and decided to continue my studies at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I then worked as a private tutor and started teaching my peers, as well as entrepreneurs, and engineers to help them achieve their goals of qualifying for study abroad programs and international jobs. Shortly after I graduated, from Michigan I started the a masters course in New York and my teaching career at Lehman College, where for 5 years I taught courses in the departments of, Anthropology, Latin American and Caribbean Studies and Women's Studies. This experience prepared me to develop teaching methods focused on the needs of bilingual groups and made me a more complete and passionate teacher. Because of this passion, I was selected to work for a year at the CUNY Teaching and Learning Center. I am currently residing in Lisbon to write my doctoral dissertation in cultural anthropology. I also have experience translating and writing curricula, drafting and editing fellowship applications and preparing students and professionals for the North American academic job market. I am fluent in English, Portuguese and Spanish and will be happy to provide references and letters of recommendation. I love my job as an educator and would love to help you achieve your learning goals.

Evolui bastante com as aulas da Laís. É uma excelente profissional e pessoa. Sua didática é bem adaptativa e isso me ajudou bastante com os meus desafios profissionais. Aulas bem produtivas.
Depois de muitas buscas, analisando cada perfil dos professores, cheguei a conclusão que ela seria a melhor pra me ensinar com excelência, pelo seu currículo, claro, mas principalmente pelo fato de ter morado nos EUA por tantos anos. Penso que vivenciar é totalmente diferente do que apenas aprender pela internet e outros meios de comunicação, principalmente pela dicção, pois a teoria é padrão, mas a forma de falar corretamente vejo que muitos deixam a desejar.
Enfim, estou feliz demais por ter acertado na escolha!
She is the best teacher in the world! Believe it!Lais is a caring, passionate and empathetic teacher, who puts her students at the forefront of her teaching. I’ve been inspired by her pedagogical and personal approach. For Lais, teaching is is a political practice, one of love, dedication and understanding.
Laís é extremamente dedicada, atenciosa e gentil. Ouve as demandas dos estudantes e pensa numa aula que atenda a elas. Muito obrigada pelo seu trabalho comigo, Laís! Tem sido uma experiência muito positiva.
Professora Laís e genial! Eu passei da meus expectativas con meu tempo com ela el la mi ensinou tanto. Estou muito grata pelo atenção, carinho e paciência ela tem comigo.
Adoro as aulas de Ingles da Lais! Ela é super dedicada, prepara muito bem o conteudo das aulas com os temas do meu Interesse e esta sempre disponivel para tirar minhas duvidas. No primeiro mes de aula, percebi o quanto estou mais Segura falando, escrevendo e lendo em Ingles.
Sabe aquela professora que transforma a aula numa experiência de escuta, acolhimento e aprendizado de alto nível? Lais é exatamente a professora que eu estava procurando: construiu um plano de aulas baseado em minhas necessidades e me deixa à vontade para praticar o inglês sem inseguranças. É tão raro encontrar alguém disposta assim, com um olhar sensível e ao mesmo tempo cirúrgico sobre os pontos que precisamos melhorar. Tenho sorte de ser seu aluno. Fica aqui minha super recomendação!
Lais e uma professora maravilhosa. Chega sempre bem preparada e está 100% presente. As aulas estão bem preparadas e ela te deixar escolher entre opções e assim vc tem controle sobre a sua educação. Sempre divertida e profissional.
Excelente professora. Me ajudou muito a atingir um bom nivel de business English. Muito necessário hoje em dia e que cursos normais de língua não nos dão essa habilidade. Fora que com meu horario rotativo ela sempre esta disponível para adequar as aulas. Super indico.
Lais has lived in a way that is committed to universal access to empowering education, both inside and outside of the classroom, for the 10 years I have known her. She is my colleague in Anthropology. We have taken classes together, lived together, written grants, and discussed pedagogy methods together.
Lais is deeply empathetic, and guides her students with confidence, warmth, and grace. As the article she has written on pedagogy indicates, all of her teaching methods are based on a deep awareness of systemic oppression, trauma, and pedagogy as a way of helping people to reconnect with themselves and each other and learn through that process of connection. She makes the classroom a safe and equitable space—a space where students are held accountable to each other. Her skill in creating spaces where people feel both safe and challenged enough to learn and grow together is truly remarkable. She carries this sensibility with her everywhere she goes, always finding ways to move people towards growth and learning. She always looks for ways to turn conflict into space for honest dialogue and operates from a deep respect for herself and others. Lais builds deep, authentic connections with her students. So many people have transformed because of her skill and care.
I recommend Lais without reservation. You could not ask for a better instructor.View more recommendations
