Grace Diasonama

My first language is English, but having graduated from higher education in Belgium, I have a proficient level in speaking, reading and writing in French.

There's no job that I am more experienced at than teaching. At my second year of university in Belgium, I became an english tutor for students in my university, and soon after, whilst keeping my job at my university, I became part of an organisation who helped secondry school students from many different schools, and that organisation would send me to students' homes to give tutoring. I stopped tutoring when I got a full time job and had to move to Portugal.

Now it's been 2 years since I haven't tutored, and because I have some spare slots in my agenda, I would like to resume my little part time job that kept me occupied during my student life.

In my spare time, I enjoy outside activities such as riding a bike, and running in a park, and once in a while I enjoy listening to music
