Hello, bonjour, and bom dia! I'm originally from Austin, Texas, United States and I speak with a neutral North American accent in English and a standard Parisian accent in French. (I also speak Portuguese because I live with my wife in Brazil!). My reason for being is to learn as much as I can about the world and the people who inhabit it. I have a passion for adventure, studying languages, making connections, music of all kinds (especially music from Brazil), good tea, astronomy, and I'm a terrible skateboarder (yet I do it anyway). Ultimately, I believe that the key to language aquisition is through motivation, immersion, and comprehensible input which is reflected in my teaching style. 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.

It’s always a joy to have lessons with Clinton! He is consistently punctual, and his classes are both engaging and very productive. They don’t feel like conventional lessons at all, but more like an enjoyable conversation with a friend. We frequently explore interesting articles together, which allows me to pick up new vocabulary naturally and effortlessly. Before I know it, I’ve learned a lot without even noticing. I strongly recommend his classes!

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.
