Hello, bonjour, and bom dia! I'm originally from Austin, Texas, and I speak with a neutral North American accent in English and a standard Parisian accent in French. My reason for being is to learn as much as I can about the world and the people who inhabit it. I enjoy travelling, anime, music of all kinds (especially music from Brazil), good tea, astronomy, and I'm a terrible skateboarder (yet I continue to do it anyway). I look forward to opening more doors to the world with you!

Clinton is a great teacher and wonderful person. Every lesson is fun and engaging, I really enjoy every moment of it. His talent to communicate easily and ask precise questions, his inner charisma make our talk flow easily with abundant benefits for my English. Clinton easily breaks all the language and cultural barriers we might have. He enriches my language with new vocabulary, and he’s always ready to correct my mistakes, or give useful advice on pronunciation and word use. I noticed, in such fruitful environment, my language skills grow exponentially, along with my communication skills.

Clinton is incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. I don't have to worry about making mistakes when speaking English, and I can practice comfortably and easily. He also has a keen understanding of various cultures, which helps me develop conversational skills in English that interest me. I look forward to continuing study with him, and I highly recommend him to anyone interested in learning English.

I've had a handful of lessons with Clinton and am absolutely delighted with his approach and style. He is able to present information in a manner that's clear and low-stress. He knows when to clarify things in English and is just a great conversationalist.

It’s always a pleasure talking to Clinton! He is very punctual, and his classes are both fun and highly productive; they don’t even feel like traditional lessons, but rather like a great conversation with a friend. We often read interesting articles during the lessons, which helps me learn new vocabulary in a natural way. I end up learning without even realizing it. I highly recommend his classes!
