Hi everyone,

I always focus my lessons on the needs of my students. I like using technology and creating tasks that are learner-focused. I use a lot of speaking, pronunciation, grammar, and conversation in general.

Feedback from former students is related to the “atmosphere” I create during our lessons. It was said that I make a comfortable environment for learning; they feel motivated and engaged throughout all activities; I believe that since I'm not a native speaker myself, I easily understand their challenges in learning English, and for those who are advanced, I have been speaking English long enough to help them out how to get "unstuck" from old patterns that may lead them to “mistakes”.

For my lessons, I enjoy creating Google Classroom with all my students so we can keep in touch (not only during class time!) and share materials, among many other virtual tools, to keep track of our learning progress such as Ellii, YouTube channels, OpenEnglish, BritishCouncil, etc. I also provide (if the student is interested) access to English books such as English File, Cutting Edge, Outcomes, etc.

If you decide to give it a try learning English with me, I'm sure we'll have loads of fun =)

My first lesson is free of charge and it’d be more of a “consultation” type so you can tell me all about (better if in English!) that you’d like to achieve during your learning process.

Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you soon! :)
