Adriano Oliveira

Hello! I am a dedicated ESOL educator, MSc Applied Psychology student (BPS member), and former stutterer turned public speaking coach. My British-Brazilian heritage and LGBTQ+ identity give me a deeply personal understanding of what it feels like to find your voice in a new space. I specialise in helping Entry Level 2 learners dismantle "communicative anxiety" and use English as a confident tool for daily UK life.
How We Will Work Together:
Straightforward & Lived Experience: No confusing jargon. I teach through real-world scenarios based on daily routines and professional UK environments, drawing directly on my own journey of overcoming speech barriers.
Dynamic & Tailored: Lessons are built entirely around your immediate needs, whether that is navigating the cost of living, talking to a doctor, or writing workplace emails.
Psychological Support: We tackle the socio-emotional barriers to learning by using proven psychological frameworks to build your resilience.
Workforce Translation: As a professional careers advisor, I help you map your international skills to the British job market for immediate employability.
Our online sessions (Zoom/Teams) are safe, safe spaces designed to build practical reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. Let’s turn English into your tool for social integration and career success.
