Neurodivergent, LGBTQ+ friendly English lessons for kids & adults, tailored to your goals 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. 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 an amazing english teacher. she is teaching for almost 2y to my children. They are still enjoying the lessons with her. It s always energic, peaceful and well fitted for my girls. Even if sometimes there is an organisation problem on our side or on her side, Erica always find a solution. If we have a special need, we can ask and she find a good way to adapt lessons. We simply recommend her !!

Erica is a very good teacher. She is available for all kinds of lessons; from grammar to everyday speaking. Particularly, she helped me prepare for an oral interview and to focus on speaking activities. She is also an empathic and funny person to talk about everything with. I strongly recommend her!
