My Teaching Methodology At the heart of my teaching philosophy is you, the student. I understand that each learner is unique and comes with their own set of English language skills, career demands, and learning preferences. This understanding is what shapes my approach to teaching English. From the onset, we will evaluate your English language proficiency, learning style, and your professional needs. This assessment allows me to craft personalised lessons that are not only engaging but also beneficial to your career growth. My comprehensive offering includes classes focused on grammar, punctuation, vocabulary, and pronunciation - the bedrock of any language. However, my instruction does not stop there. We will also dive into the practicalities of English conversation, which is crucial for interpersonal communication in any business setting. One of the greatest challenges for non-native English speakers is using the language in real-world business scenarios. To address this, I place a special emphasis on improving your competence and confidence in areas like business meetings, presentations, interviews, and conferences. We'll also cover how to write effective professional emails and how to communicate confidently during your business travels. Understanding that the business world in Sao Paulo and Brazil at large is unique, I use my cultural knowledge and Portuguese language skills to provide relatable examples and scenarios. This approach fosters a learning environment that feels more familiar, allowing you to grasp English concepts more naturally. Adaptability is a key component of my methodology. As we progress through our journey, if there's a need to adjust or switch methods to better suit your learning pace or to tackle a particular challenge, I am more than willing to make the necessary changes. Ultimately, my mission is to make learning English an enriching and enjoyable experience for you. By aligning the learning process with your individual needs and the business environment you operate in, I am confident that together we can take your English proficiency to new heights. Join me and let's make your journey towards mastering Business English not just effective but also exciting!

  • When did you develop an interest in your chosen field and in private tutoring?

    Soon after starting to teach English 5 years ago, I noticed non-native English speakers need a lot of help in developing their confidence to speak clearly and that's where my main interest in teaching is.



    I focus on teaching advanced English students how to speak clearly through techniques I borrowed from other disciplines like pronunciation training, public speaking, and some of my own techniques I have developed over the years.



    My passion in biggest interest is to help students achieve English fluency.
  • Tell us more about the subject you teach, the topics you like to discuss with students (and possibly those you like a little less).

    I teach English fluency, so there are some key factors involved to consider when achieving English fluency.



    Sophisticated vocabulary
    Pronunciation and mouth position
    Reading and sentence structure
    Confidence through competence


    These 4 factors will help you the student greatly to achieve English fluency.
  • Did you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you?

    Actually yes, I have many role models I like to look up to. I love Stephan R Covey's book "The 7 Habits Of The Highly Successful" and the rules in this book help me to give a great service to my students, while also growing and improving my service.
  • What do you think are the qualities required to be a good tutor?

    I have learned that a great tutor is a person who tries to find the real problem the student is having with the English language, then show the student the findings, and together work to fix these problems. Ultimately working well with the student so they can achieve English learning goals.
  • Provide a valuable anecdote related to your subject or your days at school.

    In January of 2021, a student of mine told me his speech therapist congratulated him on the improvements he had made with his native language. I didn't know he had this problem at the time because our classes are in English, but I was pleasantly surprised that my methods had helped a person in their native language as well as English. I really felt like I achieved something on that day.
  • What were the difficulties or challenges you faced or still facing in your subject?

    The biggest challenge I face in this career is to help students see their potential. Students have great potential to grow, and I want to help them with that.
  • Do you have a particular passion? Is it teaching in general or an element of the subject or something completely different?

    Yes. My academic passions are business studies and the art of public speaking. I also love travel, cultures, and cooking.
  • What makes you a Superprof (besides answering this interview questions :-P) ?

    I really like the Superprof system and this website has been great for me by matching me with great students. The students I have make my business, so I own a lot to Superprof.
