Bio
17 years' experience as IT, Portuguese, English and Business Instructor for entrepreneurs using the Suggestopedic Science, which is a science for developing different non-manipulative and non-hypnotic methods for teaching/learning of foreign languages and other subjects for every age-group on the level of reserve (potential, unused) capacities of the brain/mind. This science has been approved and recommended by UNESCO to be used all over the world, especially in those groups which need to learn fast, such as military and business people. I have given courses in other countries than in Brazil.

Since 1992, I have given classes of Portuguese for foreigners and English for business people. Since 2000, after majoring in Desuggestology in Europe, I have been given Portuguese classes for foreigners from different countries and English for Brazilians and foreigners as well. The Suggestopedic science when properly applied, can accelerate the learning process at a rate of 200-300% without homework and stress. It is used to teach all subjects. In 2000 I became the only professional certified by the University Professor Dr. Georgy Lozanov to teach in Brazil. He created the science of Suggestion in Bulgaria during the Cold War. At that time, the communists tried to develop a way to make people learn and accept the Communism without resistance. Dr. Lozanov developed Suggestopedia, but when he discovered the purposes of the Soviet Government he refused to reveal them all results of his researches. He became in home arrest until 1988, and move out to Austria after the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
