Lover of French 🇫🇷, English teacher for three years 🇺🇸, & future Brazilian 🇧🇷 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.

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 joy to have a lesson with Clinton! He is consistently punctual, and his classes are always engaging, relaxed, and incredibly productive. They never feel like conventional English lessons, but rather like having an enjoyable and meaningful conversation with a friend. We often explore interesting articles together, which is a great way for me to learn new vocabulary naturally and effortlessly. Before I even realize it, I’ve learned a lot and had a great time in the process! I’m very grateful for all the lessons we’ve had so far and for everything I’ve learned along the way. Thank you, Clinton, for all the great conversations, interesting topics, and enjoyable classes! I’m really looking forward to many more lessons together. I highly recommend Clinton’s classes!

Clinton is a great teacher. His pronunciation is very clear, he explains things really well, and he has a natural way of making the lesson feel easy and enjoyable. The conversation flows smoothly, so learning feels natural rather than forced. I really enjoy his classes and highly recommend him.
