Hello, I’m Ana Cristina Pratas. I have lived and worked in different places around the world. From Canada to Mozambique and South Africa, to Europe, the Middle East and Japan, I have had the privilege to experience first hand what it means to live in different cultures and learn different languages.
I have experience of teaching and training professionals in Europe, the UK, the Middle East and Japan. With over 25 years of international teaching experience, both at Higher Education and in-companies, I also have experience in designing and mentoring online courses. Currently based in Finland, I have been training professionals online.
My main focus is on the learner’s positive progress. I design my lessons to meet the learner’s needs and interests.
