About Toddy
What Sets Me Apart: As an American with a Doctorate in Education and over 30 years of experience teaching ESL, I bring a depth of knowledge and passion for helping students achieve fluency. I lived in Brazil for 25 years and have traveled extensively worldwide, giving me a unique cultural perspective that enhances my teaching. As a specialist in phrasal verbs, slang, and idiomatic expressions, I provide insights that go beyond traditional grammar instruction. I have taught at some of the biggest global online English schools and physical schools in Brazil, building a reputation for professionalism and excellence. Beyond teaching, I have a love for music, fishing, chess, and sharing knowledge with others. This passion translates into dynamic, engaging lessons that inspire students to enjoy the learning process. My extensive experience working with Brazilian and Latin American students allows me to address common linguistic challenges and cultural nuances that affect learning.

Approach and Teaching Method:My teaching method is rooted in practical, real-world application. I focus on guiding students beyond textbook English by incorporating phrasal verbs, slang, and idiomatic expressions that are essential for fluent communication. Lessons are interactive, incorporating conversation, listening exercises, and context-based learning to ensure that students can confidently navigate both formal and informal settings. I emphasize a personalized approach, adapting lessons to meet the unique needs and learning styles of each student.
Typical Lesson Plan:Each lesson follows a structured yet flexible format:
Warm-Up (5-10 min): Review and practice previously learned expressions.
New Concepts (15-20 min): Introduction of new phrasal verbs, slang, or idioms through real-life scenarios, videos, and dialogues.
Interactive Practice (15-20 min): Role-playing, group discussions, and situational exercises.
Listening and Comprehension (10 min): Analyzing native speaker dialogues, focusing on usage in context.
Feedback and Review (5-10 min): Recap of the lesson, correction of common errors, and Q&A.
Homework/Extension (Optional): Additional exercises and immersion activities for continuous improvement.
