About Me

Hello,

My name is Luiza Sommer and I'm currently a student in Leiden University. I am Brazilian but have lived abroad for many years, hence have grown up in an international environment. I am both friendly and firm, so will push you to the best of your abilities.

I completed the IB with a total of 36 points, with my best performing classes being ESS SL, English Language, and Literature HL, and Portuguese HL. Therefore, I will be able to assist you in both knowledge questions and also essay questions. You will learn how to best structure your answers in order to achieve full marks!

In case you have any urgent inquiries please shoot me a message on Apprentus. I will gladly help!

Education

I graduated from Graded School - The American School of São Paulo with a total of 3 diplomas; IB, Brazilian and American. I achieved many awards during my academic life, including the ESS IB Excellence award for two consecutive years. Furthermore, I also wrote my EE on ESS and received a final grade of B.

Currently, I am pursuing a bachelor degree in International Relations and Organizations in the Netherlands in Leiden University. As well as this, I also minor in Business Administration.

Experience / Qualifications

I have leadership experience as I was the leader of many of my high school clubs. This has also given me planning and organizational skills.

Very informative
Bachelor theses are usually the last step needed for a student to graduate. Such task is challenging and requires dedication and focus. Therefore, I offer to give you some guidance and feedback on your thesis. It is important to have a second reader who has never read your thesis before and may not be as knowledgeable in your chosen topic as it provides new insight which you may have overlooked yourself. I have recently graduated myself, with a political science degree and international relations specialization, and have gone through this process. My thesis focused on exploring the relationship between democratic systems and voter turnout. Therefore, if you are writing your thesis on a similar research area, I can also recommend great academic literature and further feedback!
If you need extra help with ESS SL in the IB, this is your chance! Here you will get tips on how to do your IA and exams. Most specifically, how to answer the essay style questions in both Paper 1 and Paper 2! A little about myself: I was top of my class in ESS for the two consecutive IB years and also did my EE on ESS!

Gonçalo
Portuguese language and culture lessons with a native speaker
De echte Portugese ervaring! Advantages of learning a new language: Learning a new language is fun. But what I’m (and you should be) after is not bilingualism but instead biculturalism. We think by aid of words. Therefore language shapes thought. In part this is because working in a second language slows down the thinking. No wonder people feel different when speaking a second language. And no wonder they feel looser, more spontaneous, perhaps more assertive or funnier or blunter. Studies show that being able to speak another language is generally linked to a more flexible brain, developing the brain’s ability to plan and prioritize. Also it betters our defenses against dementia in old age. Advantages of learning Portuguese: • 250 million native speakers worldwide • 5th most common language in the world • It has been an official language since 1297 • It’s usage is spread over 4 continents (Europe, South America, Africa, Asia) Now business, For the past 5 years I've had more than 50 students and based on experience I recommend the following lesson duration (minutes): Age gap 0-6 | 7-12 | 13-17 | 18-45 | 45-64 | 65+ Duration 30 | 30-60 | 60 | 90 | 90-60 | 45 Focus on diverse subjects is possible, for example, grammar, diction, reading comprehension, written production, conversational skills. Because the goal of most students is the ability to communicate, I’ve been developing my classes that way. I have acquired extra audio media specially for you :) to hear Portuguese being spoken at a different pace, accent and voice tone. My method is based on a book (that I myself bring to the class and the student doesn’t need to acquire) which I'm fairly familiar by now. But what I really like is to talk to the student. So the book will be used to present the gramatical structure of the language while also serving as an inspiration platform for conversation topics. Periodically we will evaluate how the classes are evolving so as to rapidly and effectively shift focus to where it is needed.

Alexandra
European Portuguese language - tutor with 5 years experience
Portuguese for beginners When I am teaching other students with a latin language background, listening exercises and conversational practices are introduced immediately. For other languages, I utilize several visual exercises and flashcards in order to help the student to quickly understand the language. Conversational Portuguese I provide private lessons for adults who want to live in Portugal or want to work in Portugal. When we are teaching other students with a latin language background, listening exercises and conversational practices are almost immediate. Intensive Portuguese I provide private lessons for adults who want to live in Portugal or want to work in Portugal. Usually, these lessons are quite intensive with vocabulary, grammar and listening exercises. General Portuguese I introduce grammar very gradually and I make the content related to everyday activities so that a language learner can easily survive in Portugal after a couple of lessons. Aside from that, I use other techniques such mimicking actions to introduce certain verbs in Portuguese and use songs to repeat basic vocabulary in a fun way. Portuguese adjectives I can introduce fun games in order to talk about physical adjectives and I use flashcards in order to speak about psychological adjectives as well.
