🌞 Here’s a kind review from my student Jessie:
🗣️ “I highly recommend Stephen. He is not only an excellent teacher, but also a good and empathetic human being. He cares about his students and works with them to help them achieve their goals. :)” -- Jessie, GuatemalaMy lessons & teaching style
🔍 My teaching style is largely based on the language learning research of Stephen Krashen. His work shows that we learn best when we understand messages through listening or reading.
🥳 The fastest way to learn English is by having fun conversations and reading interesting material.
📗 I give every student a Google Doc where I put new vocabulary, corrections, homework assignments, and other helpful class notes. 🖊️
📌 Important
*Classes should be taken in a quiet place, ideally with a computer for better learning. 💻
*If a student is unable to attend a lesson and does not give at least 2 hours of advance notice, I will not be able to reschedule. Thank you for understanding. 🙏🏼My teaching material

Today I learned new expression, I discovered some strange rules that we have here in Brazil to foreigners and how to pronounce "Wednesday" hahaha, really great conversation! He helps me a lot to increase my self-confidence. If you have the same fear to speak as I do, you need this guy! =D I never saw a bad expression when I said something very awkward to him hahaha. You are the man, Stephen!
