Our Story
My journey started in Vietnam back in 2016, where I left Portugal from a 9 to 5 job that didn't make me happy believing that we all deserve to be happy.
After working, side by side for some years with amazing Vietnamese teachers, I felt that my own teaching method was starting to grow.
By 2020, especially after COVID, I noticed that human interaction was decreasing. Common values like empathy, understanding, partnership, and respect - once passed from generation to generation - were disappearing. Teachers were updating themselves, but the educational system wasn't.
I saw my students losing their sparkle, becoming anxious and losing their self confidence.
I saw them losing the joy for learning and I saw the horrible consequences that the Pandemic was doing to their mental health.
This led me to dig deep into psychology and emotional development to understand how we could reconnect and motivate new generations. That's where I discovered the crucial role of the amygdala - our brain's emotional memory center.
Today (2025) I am very proud of what we achieved with this project because not only we are bringing back smiles but we are also giving the opportunity to many people that otherwise wouldn't have it.
We create happier, more confident people who become better listeners and professionals.
