Hi everyone! I am multilingual (Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish speaking) and have always loved learning and teaching foreign languages. I've taught lessons to adults of all levels and nationalities for over 20 years - overseas as well as in Australia at various English schools. I have a TESOL Postgraduate Certificate (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages)
After graduating from university I taught English in Japan for one year, as well as in Spain and Brazil.
Since studying foreign languages and teaching students from all over the world, I truly understand the challenges students face - I've been in your situation as a language learner myself!
I'm very friendly, calm and patient as a teacher. I love helping my students achieve their goals, whether you need English for travel, work, or to be able to connect with friends or family from other parts of the world. I also have a passion for traveling and meeting new people from other cultures. In my free time I enjoy yoga, movies, going to the beach and exploring nature.
Our main goal is to build your confidence so that you can communicate more comfortably in any situation. I provide engaging, conversational lessons focused on communication, including a variety of topics and skills depending on your own individual needs and goals.
I believe it is important to also include natural everyday expressions in our lessons such as idioms or phrasal verbs to help you speak English in the most natural way possible!
Fiona is definitely one of the best teachers I have ever met. Every class, she prepared based on my goals, and after finishing she categorized content and sent me documents that I can review. During classes, she was patient, friendly and supportive. It’s always nice to have conversations with her.

Thank you, Fiona, for being the best teacher. You were always kind, patient, and made learning fun. I’ll never forget how much you helped me. You truly made a difference.
In this lesson, we talked about how people spend time on cruise ships, how everyone spent their time during COVID-19, and also about allergies. I really enjoyed the lesson because I felt relaxed speaking with Fiona. She is a friendly and approachable teacher, and at the same time, she always provide useful expressions and explanations. Thank you!

We started with some casual conversation about everyday topics, and then moved on to answering questions from a list that Fiona had prepared. The conversation flowed really naturally, and I felt comfortable as it was guided in such a smooth way. She also provided feedback on my English during the chat and introduced some useful phrasal verbs. It was a great practice session!
