Bom Dia! Or Hello in Portuguese! My name is Brennan and I am from Newport Beach, California. I decided to tutor English abroad in Brazil because I wanted to improve my Portuguese and be immersed in Brazilian culture.  I have studied abroad in France and Germany before, and I was extremely interested in doing something similar in Brazil.

This summer I had the opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and tutor English to a family in Brazil! I am currently getting my Masters in TESOL, so I wanted to experience what teaching English abroad was like. GeoVisions made the process very easy and helped me with all of the paperwork. By May, I had a family waiting for me to arrive in July! When I was placed with my host family, I was so nervous to talk to them but so excited at the same time. My family was just as nervous and excited to meet me too, and knowing how excited they were, made me even more excited! I couldn’t wait to meet them and experience Brazil for an entire month!
