Hi English learners! My name is Brandon and I live in the Washington DC area. After previously not knowing any language besides English, at 32, in 2021, I decided to commit to learning Portuguese. The experience since then has been extremely fulfilling. It's allowed me to make connections, helped my confidence and improved my understanding of an outside culture. I truly believe if you can build small wins with your English consistently you too, will have similar benefits. In my free time I like to read, discuss U.S. political issues, watch movies/series, watch sports, exercise and travel.
Me as a Teacher
From doing over 100 hours on italki and talking with 25 + professors as a student within the last year, I have a solid understanding of what I expect in a teacher. I will attempt to ensure you speak the majority of the lesson. During this time, I will carefully monitor your mistakes and give you the necessary feedback to improve. I will also take into account your personal interests and how you like to learn.
My lessons & teaching style
If you're looking to speak with a Native English speaker and improve your intermediate/advanced English. I can help you! And don't worry! You will be speaking the majority of the time! Among the topics we can discuss:
- Your country's culture (education, healthcare, holidays, stereotypes, weddings, etc.)
- Personal interests, goals, and experiences
- Travel (value, places, accommodation, etc.)
- Opinions on social policies & current events
- Social media/technology
- Your day
- Or whatever you would like!
Also outside of talking about these things we can examine movies, songs, podcasts, Youtube videos etc. to further enhance your English language expression.

Brandon is a great teacher, he always has good answers to my random questions. ^^
He is outgoing and easy to talk to, which makes a fun lesson.
Thank you for your flexibility when I needed to book a class :) and for the laughs during class.

O áudio não estava tão perfeito e isso dificultou um pouco o entendimento das palavras do professor. Mas em relação ao professor, foi ótimo. Educado, interagem bem, flexível, paciente e super gente boa. Recomendo esse professor.
