I really care about my students. I like to teach and it seems to come naturally for me. I had been teaching as a musician since 1984 at University level and private teaching until I decided to teach English in Brazil. Experience teaching young adults and adults. My lessons & teaching style
I use the communicative approach (The Cambridge Method), one of the most effective methods today. This can include a flexible mixture of all methods. Experience has shown that not all students learn the same way, so flexibility is required. Some of the courseware is unique, and I adjust the material and method(s) according to the needs of each student at their own pace. English level is determined during an interview. All student material is provided. This includes video, transcript, lesson notes, and student activity. I require reading during class. We work on intonation, pronunciation, and interpretation of punctuation if needed. Grammar and writing skills are analyzed.My teaching material
