🌞 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, Guatemala My lessons & teaching style
🔍 My method is inspired by the language learning research of Stephen Krashen. His findings show that we learn most quickly by listening and reading material that we LIKE and that is EASY.
🖊️ I give my students lots of feedback so they always know exactly how to improve.
📗 Each student gets a personalized Google Doc where I share new vocabulary, corrections, homework, and more.
📌 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!
