In 2000, she decided to travel to learn English and fell in love with California.
In 2004, she started to teach Portuguese in 2 language schools in Los Angeles. First as simply as a hobby but little by little classes started to take over: “I’ve always enjoyed helping people, learning languages and talking about cultural differences. Teaching was the next step. I love to share this knowledge and also learn about my country from their experiences.”, she says.
Gisele has taught people in financial businesses, the entertainment industry, spouses of Brazilians, and travelers. She has also helped actors improving their pronunciation for movies shot in Brazil.
She once taught a group of 20 students of different nationalities in a cruise ship to Portugal.
