Consulting with Matheus
Do you relate to any of the points below?
- I want to become a teacher.
- I started to teach and I need assistance, or want to develop more.
- I don't teach, but want to develop my local community in other ways.
If your challenge is to Dance, to Teach, or to Build a community, I can tell you: I've been there... (Take a short look at my journey in this page...)
Good news is: now I'm able to help!
- Send an email to info@forrowithmatheus.com explaining your context and what you want to achieve;
- I will evaluate how I could assist, then send you a proposal (no commitment until here);
- You decide if that works for you, then we can book a video call.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
Cheers,
Matheus
