ENG - Whether you are a beginner or an advanced English speaker, my classes focus on English learning for children, students, and adults who have difficulty speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Whether your goal is to boost your professionalism, improve your writing style, or simply enhance your knowledge, I intend to help you reach it! In the beginning session(s), I work with you to determine your level of expertise and comfortability with the language, pinpointing areas that may need extra attention. Together, we would go through the rules, structure, and other aspects of the English language that you should be aware of, assessing your knowledge through interactive activities geared toward topics that interest you. In our meetings, my intention is to help you improve your communication skills by strengthening areas of weakness, whether in vocabulary and grammar, verbal/reading comprehension, holding conversations, pronunciation, or any other area you hope to work on. At the end of each session, I like to provide valuable feedback about your progress and assign helpful practice work to enhance your understanding of the practical and theoretical aspects of the English language.

Through these one-on-one sessions, my priority is to keep it engaging and stimulating, tailoring the classes to you and your preferences!

PORT - Quer você seja um falante de inglês iniciante ou avançado, minhas aulas se concentram no aprendizado de inglês para crianças, alunos e adultos que têm dificuldade em falar, ouvir, ler e escrever. Quer o seu objetivo seja aumentar o seu profissionalismo, melhorar o seu estilo de escrita ou simplesmente aumentar o seu conhecimento, pretendo ajudá-lo a alcançá-lo! Nas sessões iniciais, trabalho com você para determinar seu nível de conhecimento e conforto com o idioma, identificando áreas que podem precisar de atenção extra. Juntos, passaríamos pelas regras, estrutura e outros aspectos da língua inglesa que você deveria conhecer, avaliando seu conhecimento por meio de atividades interativas voltadas para temas de seu interesse. Em nossas reuniões, minha intenção é ajudá-lo a melhorar suas habilidades de comunicação, fortalecendo áreas de fraqueza, seja em vocabulário e gramática, compreensão verbal/leitura, conversas, pronúncia ou qualquer outra área que você deseje trabalhar. No final de cada sessão, gosto de fornecer feedback valioso sobre seu progresso e atribuir trabalhos práticos úteis para aprimorar sua compreensão dos aspectos práticos e teóricos do idioma inglês.

Learning Spanish at C1 level is not difficult. Even if it requires some hours of work, I can help you to make them productive, interesting, with clear examples, and above all, good vibes!
You may have to deal with a lot of different verb tenses, different accents from so many countries that have Spanish as their native language, or you may simply want to improve your skills for work. In the hour of work that we will do, rather than focusing on books, we will go out, learn vocabulary and do some day to day activities that will take away your fears of speaking Spanish.

The student will be able to see different places in the capital of Spain without leaving the classroom and learn Spanish. My learning idea is based on interactive activities between my student and me, with word games, card games to improve the syllabi. I will also bring printed exercises for the denser syllabi and for reading comprehension activities in Spanish. We will see a text in which different topics will be discussed and the student must understand what each paragraph says. For this last exercise, I will use the texts and printed images from my printed edition of Guía de Madrid.

This course suggests that we enter a level of English that allows you to deal with your personal life and your professional life. Furthermore, the idea is to be able to talk about the media, to function in different environments. It is also important in this course to think about eating. How nice it is to know how to order a good plate of food or go to a gym knowing how to talk to people. Here you can delve into the different greetings and means of establishing contact with Spanish.

I tailor my classes around the interests and needs of my students. With children, especially, so they are learning the language through their existing interests and this helps them stay motivated. With adults, I specialize in Business English and make sure I understand how they could immediately apply what they’ve learnt. So we start with an email, a presentation, whatever they’re working towards. I believe good teaching takes time, attention and a safe space to make mistakes :)

My teaching style is communicative, student-centered, and adaptable. I believe students learn best when they feel engaged, supported, and encouraged to actively use the language. I try to create a positive classroom atmosphere where learners can build confidence while developing their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. Depending on the age group and learning objectives, I incorporate interactive activities, discussions, storytelling, and creative resources to make learning meaningful and enjoyable.
