Sofia Costa E Silva

My lessons are friendly, structured and always adapted to your level and goals. We start by talking about what you need – for example, improving speaking confidence, grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary or getting help with schoolwork and exams. From there, I plan personalised lessons that mix clear explanations with lots of practice. I like to use real-life topics, short texts, pictures, games and simple videos so that learning feels natural and interesting. In class, you will speak as much as possible, because I believe the best way to improve is by using English actively. I correct you in a kind and supportive way, explaining mistakes and giving you better options to say what you mean.

I have over four years of experience teaching English to children in kindergarten and primary school, as well as experience supporting individual students in competitions and private tutoring. I am multilingual (Portuguese, English, Thai, Chinese and conversational Spanish), so I understand how it feels to learn a new language, and I am very patient with beginners and shy students.

My lessons can focus on speaking and listening, reading and writing, grammar, pronunciation or a combination of all of these, depending on what you need. I am happy to work with children, teenagers or adults and can adapt the content and pace to each learner. Above all, I try to create a safe, positive space where you can ask questions, make mistakes and build real confidence in your English step by step.
