Raquel Reis
Hi everyone, Raquel here! I was born and raised in the South of Portugal, the Algarve. I moved to Lisbon almost 4 years ago to pursue a degree in Translation (specializing in French and English) in NOVA University. Soon I’ll be starting my MSc degree!
I learned both Portuguese and English growing up. Spanish and French were next on my formal education, but outside of school and university I’ve always liked to dedicate my free time to other languages! Not only foreign languages, but also linguistics. I even embarked on an introductory journey into Portuguese Sign Language. Right now, I’m dedicating myself to studying Mandarin Chinese. I’ve also been diving into computer science and programming!
I began teaching almost three years ago on iTalki. It started as a hobby, but a year after it inspired me to create my own business teaching and helping people all over the world with their language learning journey.
Witnessing the transformation of my students as they achieve their language objectives and find fulfillment fuels my dedication to not only continue teaching, but also learning!
