 Pethrus Souza

Pethrus Souza

Programs Assistant

As Programs Assistant, Pethrus supports all of our programs and activities and contributes to projects that engage, celebrate and support the success of our learners and volunteers. He works closely with our staff to track program data, maintain regular communications and to plan and produce our events and activities. Pethrus is bi-lingual in English and Portuguese, which increases our capacity to communicate with a growing learner population.

Pethrus was born and raised in Brazil, and came to the U.S. to study English as an Exchange Student in High School, which was very hard. While here, he fell in love with the way Americans lived their daily lives, and came back to study International Business at the University of Georgia. He met his wife during a visit to Boston, and 22 years later he still lives here with his wife, 2 daughters, and their dog. Pethrus is excited to help English At Large because he understands what it’s like being an immigrant and having to learn a new culture and new language.
