With a very diverse background spanning IT, sales, translation, and research, I bring a unique perspective to the classroom. Currently, I'm focusing on language education, blending traditional pedagogy with modern digital tools to create dynamic, student-centered learning environments. 

I'm currently finishing a Master’s degree in English Language Teaching while working as a full time teacher at one of Portugal's most prestigious private schools, where I prepare young learners for Cambridge English exams, specifically the Movers (A1) and Flyers (A2) levels. My teaching philosophy centers on gamification within digital settings and revolves around engaging with students' real-life experiences in order to make learning relevant and accessible.

In addition to my role as an educator, I'm an advocate for staying updated with subcultures and niche interests within my community, ensuring that education speaks to every student's reality. This approach helps me foster a deeper connection with my students, encouraging not just language proficiency but also critical thinking and cultural awareness.

I'm always looking for ways to evolve my craft and contribute to the broader conversation about the future of education. Feel free to contact me at work@itsvascofreitas., or connect with me on LinkedIn as I explore the intersections of teaching, technology, and innovation.
