About Me
italki teacher since Apr 26, 2024Interest topicHistoryWritingTravelMusicBusiness & Finance
Born in Brazil, raised in the US. I have built a solid career as a Business Development Executive and found my passion for languages from an early age . I've majored in International Relations at one of Brazil's top 3 most prestigious university(UFRJ) and have gotten an MBA at the same institution. Both my life experience growing up in the US and my (corporate and teaching) credentials make me ready to help you however you need me to. Whether it is business, academic or conversational English I will immerse you into it by bringing real-life experiences acquired throughout these 25 years I've been speaking, teaching and doing business using the language.Me as a Teacher
I teach you how to think in English, and finally stop translating from your mother tongue. My students feel confident in speaking English and they love it. I will take you to a C2 Level of Proficiency - My 5years of experience and more than 500 students proved to me everyone CAN speak English FLUENTLY. My classes will immerse you in English. Not only in class but also outside of it. I give you every hint to learn English and be fluent - tailor-made podcasts, videos, PDFs, games, speaking clubs - if you commit to it, you WILL be fluent. If my other 500 students did it, you also can. I hope to see you very soon. RoddyMy lessons & teaching style
I strongly believe learning a new language is more than just about grammar and pronunciation, it is also about understanding and living a new culture. My goal is to bring English-speaking countries' culture into the classroom in order to lighten up the learning process and make it fun. Learning should never be a burden for anyone.My teaching material
