In 2022 I founded my own company, Languaging with Yuri, and ever since then I've been working for myself as an online private English teacher to adult students who are looking to boost their English skills and overall confidence. Up until now, I've taught 50+ students, most of them Brazilians, but living in at least 7 different countries. It's been a rewarding yet challenging journey that I'm so proud of having set off on.

I was an English level assessor for Strider, an online IT platform that connects software developers from Latin America to companies looking to hire these professionals. I was responsible for evaluating candidate's English skills and making sure they had the appropriate levels for the positions they were applying for.

I worked as an English as a Foreign Language teacher to a variety of levels (from A1 to B2) and ages (kids, pre-teens, teens and adults). I was responsible for planning and giving lessons, structuring syllabi, managing end-of-term projects and organizing events for a local language school in my hometown in Itabuna, Brazil.
