William Correa (correawill)
I was born in Brazil and have worked for over ten years as an English teacher and translator for a very prominent Brazilian language school. I lived and studied in Ireland and possess a TOEIC and TOEFL (though they expired last year), being certified as a C1+ speaker of English.
In January, I'm going to take a group of 15 students to London for a 14-day intensive English course where I'm planning to take the CPE (Cambridge Proficiency exam).
I have a degree in Biological Sciences and had started a BA in English teaching, but dropped out to attend International Trading, which is what I'm currently studying.
I can speak upper-intermediate Spanish and basic Mandarin and Russian.
In my free time, I enjoy playing with my 6-year-old son, watching series, reading and, surprisingly enough, knitting.
