Hi everyone!

My name is Ali and I just moved to Recife, Brazil from DUBAI (after living there for 10 yrs!) with my wife who is actually from this city. I look forward to make new friends and get on a FAST TRACK learning portuguese! I have travelled extensively all over the world and lived in the UK and USA as well. look forward to hearing from all of you! If I can be of help in any way... please don't hesitate to ask!

Cheers!

Ali

Hi Ali,

On behalf of the entire Expat-blog Team, welcome on board. I hope your experience here on the blog will be both enjoyable and informative.

In regard to your question on your post to Dan, there is a demand for English teachers in almost all of the state capitals throughout Brazil, obviously to a somewhat lesser degree in smaller states, unfortunately.

I'd suggest applying at a few of the local language schools like CNA, CCAA, Fisk to start with. You won't earn much, but between a couple of schools you should be able to get quite a few hours in. Once you've done that start recruiting private students who will pay much more than the schools pay their teachers. Just don't snag any students from the schools, bad business that! Post an ad here in the classified section, get some leaflets printed up, create a website, etc., anything that will attract students. It takes a while to build up a student roster so be patient.
