New students: please select the correct lesson option before booking. Message me if you're not sure :) Hi! I'm Erica, a U.S.-born English teacher based in Brazil. My experience with languages and living abroad is what inspired me to teach and drives me to make every student feel understood and supported. My classes are a safe, inclusive space for everyone, including LGBTQIA+ students, neurodivergent learners, and people with disabilities. You are welcome here exactly as you are. With a Level 5 TEFL qualification and thousands of lessons completed, I've learned that the best results come from patience, encouragement, and lessons that are built around you. As a language learner myself, I know firsthand how challenging the process can be, and that shared experience shapes everything about how I teach. My goal isn't just to help you improve your English. It's to help you become a confident, expressive speaker who enjoys the journey. Our first lesson is all about you. We'll get to know each other, talk about your goals, and figure out the best way to move forward together. From there, every lesson is tailored to your needs and learning style. We can cover speaking, grammar, listening, writing, or a mix of everything, whatever is most relevant to your life. During lessons, I'll correct your mistakes and suggest more natural ways to express yourself. I type feedback in the chat so you can review it after class at your own pace. I look forward to seeing you in class 💛

Erica is one of the best English teachers I’ve ever had. I moved to the USA and needed to speak English daily, both in everyday situations and at work. I had a strong language barrier for a long time and couldn’t speak fluently. Erica helped me overcome it in just two months, and now communication in my daily life, as well as at work (I am a teacher), is no longer a problem for me. Our lessons feel like pleasant and friendly conversations on different topics. During the lessons, if I struggle to express my thoughts, Erica gently and unobtrusively suggests the best way to phrase them. After each lesson, she sends me a list of grammatical and vocabulary corrections to review. As a native speaker, she also enriches my vocabulary with useful words and phrases that make my English sound more natural. She is kind, attentive, and always ready to help—for example, when I need to prepare materials for my work. I highly recommend her! She is an excellent professional and a wonderful person.

Had our very first 1-hour session and it was enjoyable! Erica is super friendly, chill and open-minded. I think it’s important to find a teacher who makes you feel comfortable learning English which I think Erica can deliver that for you. Thank you!
