FAA approved CFI in Brazil

Greetings fellow pilots,

I am pretty sure this question has already been answered in the past, but I am moving from St Louis to Campinas, in Brazil, and was wondering if anyone here knows of an FAA approved CFI in the Campinas region?

I need training done in English, and the hours signed-off by an instructor that is certified by the FAA. Any ideas or thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Why do the hours need to be signed off by an FAA Instructor?

14 CFR 61.41
