Hello!
My name is Salomé Honório. I am a poet, researcher, and freelance translator with experience tutoring in one-to-one contexts. I am a native Portuguese speaker, currently living and working in Portugal. I have an MA in English from the University of Sussex, and I just completed my PhD in Comparative Studies, at the University of Lisbon.
I am especially invested in tailoring classes to students' own needs, curiosities and priorities. Thanks to various years of training in literary and cultural studies, with a strong focus on gender and sexuality studies, I can provide useful information and resources on these topics. If these are key areas of interest you might also be invested in, consider this an opportunity to participate in oriented learning processes, motivated by your own questions and objectives.
I am quite into pop culture - especially video games, comics, films, and TV. Consider me a geek, in this aspect. I'm passionate about popular culture, and interested in finding ways to incorporate it into the teaching experience. A key aspect of the sessions I provide is the use of multimedia material, and a general openness towards accessing students' preferred means of language training - ranging from works of literature to lyrics or lines of dialogue.
I have professional experience as a freelance translator, as a transcriber, and as an academic researcher. I believe these uniquely equip me to address your language needs. And I hope the scope of my interests helps us find common ground, for a dynamic and fruitful learning experience.
Thank you for reading!
And let me know how I can help.
