Dalva Rodrigues - Instructor

Dalva is a very enthusiastic, dedicated and creative teacher who discovered her fascination for languages a long time ago. Not only does she hold a Bachelor’s in Portuguese and English Language & Literature from a Brazilian university (FASAR-Faculdade Santa Rita), but she was an ESL instructor at an English school for 14 years. 

Since 2005 she is living in The Netherlands teaching Portuguese as a second language in schools in Amsterdam and other cities. Like many immigrants, she decided to face the challenges of living abroad, learning another language (Dutch), working with people from all over the world, and familiarizing herself with other cultures. This opportunity brings her new perspectives and a better understanding of the teaching/learning process, making her more committed to the student’s needs and expectations. The awareness she got from her own experience inspired her to look for a variety of approaches that could best fit each student’s unique necessities, level and intelligence.
