About Me
italki teacher since Jul 1, 2014InterestsMedical & HealthcareFoodPets & Animals
Hey! Oi! CELTA-certified teacher with 10+ years of experience.
I specialize in organic, mistake-friendly learning—because language thrives in real talk, not rigid drills.
Inclusive by nature: Black community, LGBTQIAP+, neurodivergent minds, people with disabilities, elders—all welcome here.
From Rio do Sul, Brazil (yes, we have mild winters!).
I’m obsessed with languages (even the ones I’ll never speak), psychology, and bonsai videos.
But my real joy? Helping you speak confidently, with zero shame.
Let’s walk—or run—toward fluency together.
Weekly lessons only (homework required!).
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.
Just not in traditional ways.
-
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.

Jackson is really great and dynamic! He focuses on engaging with the language, not just checking certain boxes, which I really appreciate. I really felt like I was an active part of the experience, and that the mix of outputting and receiving input in Portuguese was really good. Overall, it was an outstanding lesson and I felt highly engaged for the entire class time. 10/10 would recommend!
