About Me
italki teacher since Jul 1, 2014InterestsFoodArtScienceMedical & HealthcarePets & Animals
Hey! Oi! CELTA-certified teacher with 13+ years of experience.
I specialize in organic, mistake-friendly learning, sometimes strict sometimes light.
Inclusive: Black community, LGBTQIAP+, neurodivergent minds, people with disabilities, elders.
From Rio do Sul, Brazil (yup, we have mild winters!).
I’m obsessed with languages (even the ones I’ll never speak), psychology, dinosaurs. I have a velociraptor tattooed, and also a meteor.
But I really like helping people learn languages above all else.
Let’s walk, or run, toward ENOUGH fluency together. You can make it prettier later.
I look for weekly students, and willing to spend at least ONE extra hour to complete homework.
See you soon!Me as a Teacher
I have worked in all kinds of settings.
Schools, big and small.
Communicative, lexic, audiolingual, active methodologies.
I've been a translator, interpreter, ghost writer, teacher.
...
Anyway, some years ago I started teaching my own way, and that's why I'm still here.
Teaching and learning organically, autonomously, functionally.
Using mistakes productively.
Not for shaming or making you anxious.
Making language real.
Not a PDF or Power Point.
It's language. It makes sense while there's communication.
-
We're not reinventing the wheel... We're walking.
Maybe running.
We get there on foot. My lessons & teaching style
*** I need students to have weekly lessons.
*** I need students to do their homework
*** I need students to use Italki's RESCHEDULING system when needed
-
>> WE TALK a lot.
Even if you are a beginner. We'll get there.
>> WE STRENGTHEN your phonetic system;
your writing;
your speaking;
and YES, your grammar.
In traditional ways and not.
-
You will be gently GUIDED and SUPPORTED.
I will help you speak by using a range of techniques.
You will ASK questions, RESPOND, DESCRIBE, have INSIGHTS and all that.
We will basically interact in real ways, but linguistically-focused 100% of the time.
-
Language doesn't get absorbed when you are too uncomfortable, or too comfortable.

I wholeheartedly recommend Jackson as a teacher. What stands out most is his adaptive teaching method, he genuinely understands individual needs and adjusts the lessons accordingly. I am already looking forward to our next class - muito obrigado!

Um professor que me deixou completamente à vontade. É simpático, tem uma entonação completamente clara o que facilitou muito a minha compreensão, faz correções pontuais com muita educação. Foi só uma primeira aula mas já falamos de vários temas. Fiquei muito entusiasmada com a aula e o seu método.
