Fernando Souza

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

I currently hold the position of E-Learning Designer at The Sequoia Foundation. I'm responsible for developing course outlines, creating content through research. I also develop content storyboards and course structure by using authoring and development software tools, as well as managing content vendors (e.g. graphics, animation, voiceover) to ensure quality, timely, cost-effective content and Maintain and update course content (both online and in master documents). Last but not least, I also determine the best way to transform traditional classroom activities into synchronous or asynchronous activities on a tablet or PC

I've also worked as an e-Learning Coordinator in my previous jobs, getting solid experience in language research, teaching and e-learning platforms (implementation, adaptation and maintenance).

As an english teacher, I've worked mainly at multi national companies, creating dynamic, personalised and fresh language courses tailored to the needs of each individual student. This allows the student to develop language acquisition techniques similar to native speakers. The students usually hold management or directorate positions. I also have experience in teaching People with Disabilities and Other Access and Functional Needs.

On top of that, I have experience with translation (having done many translations for multinational companies such as Royal Dutch Shell, Vale, Nexans and ABS Consulting) and language interpretation (working for Coca-Cola on their After Action Review Meeting in 2010 in Rio de Janeiro).

Specialties: Teaching english for executives in multi national companies.
