Certified Teacher w/ 6 years experience. IELTS|Business English|Conversation etc. Adults + Kids Hello! I’m Rio, a TEFL-certified English teacher from the US and Canada with 6 years of experience. I specialize in IELTS prep, Business English, and natural conversation—helping Adults and Kids speak confidently and fluently. As a lifelong learner and traveler, I love connecting with students worldwide, making lessons engaging and tailored to your goals. Let’s turn your language challenges into victories while having fun along the way! I teach both Adults and Kids, and I have a friendly, engaging style of teaching. As a language learner myself, I understand the hard work, dedication, and patience that it takes to make progress. Let's work together to formulate what learning styles best work for you so that you can continue to enjoy working towards your English language goals. I will evaluate your English, and then I can incorporate new vocabulary, expressions, etc for your specific needs. I teach idioms, phrasal verbs, American/Canadian slang and more, depending on your goals. I have English reading materials for class as well. Every students needs are different, so we can tailor the lesson to fit your needs, keeping it engaging and fun. I'm happy to teach the lesson based on topics and/or hobbies that are interesting to you as the student. After the class, I will send you feedback based on specific problem areas in your English. Or if you're only looking for someone to just have engaging conversations with, that is also welcome. Let's get to know each other! :)

Rio was very easy to talk to. He listens and gives examples, but also corrects you at the end. The conversation felt very natural. 🙂

Rio is very approachable and patient. He guides the conversation so naturally that I can always learn something new without feeling pressured. Learning with him feels more like talking to a supportive friend than being in a typical class!
