Vanessa Morais

With a Bachelor's degree in English (Licenciatura Inglês), postgraduate qualification in Educational Psychology, and having internationally recognized certificates such as the Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE – C2) and the CELTA, I bring a strong academic foundation and a wealth of experience to the role, teaching General English and English for specific purposes.

Having worked in the field of education for over 25 years, I have taught students across a range of age groups and proficiency levels and prepared students for International Exams such as Cambridge - from Young Learners to CPE, as well as the IELTS, TOEFL and TOEIC. This exposure has broadened my perspective on diverse learning needs and strengthened my ability to adapt, differentiate, and deliver inclusive, student-centred instruction. I am committed to fostering not only academic excellence, but also the social-emotional growth of my students.

My approach to teaching is rooted in a genuine passion for learning, creativity in lesson design, and a proactive attitude toward collaboration and continuous development. I take pride in building meaningful rapport with students and working synergistically with colleagues to create a supportive, high-achieving learning environment. Reliability, commitment, and initiative have consistently defined my professional journey.
