My lessons & teaching style
As a native speaker with extensive travel experience, my classes are dynamic and interesting, tailored to the needs of my students, on a variety of subjects. The main objective is for my students to expand their language skills. My communicative language teaching abilities are a result of first-hand contact with the difficulties of learning Portuguese as a second language, and which allowed me to really appreciate my students' challenges and develop meaningful ways of helping them attain their objective of mastering the English language.

iTalki gave a great opportunity to meet interesting people from over the world. It is not only about learning the languages, but it is also about exciting experiences talking on different topics with people from different cultures. I discovered that fact when I started my lessons with Jonathan. We can discuss for hours on many different themes: philosophy, history, science, literature, cinema, and many others. Meanwhile, in this conversation, Jonathan like eagle notes all mistakes in my speech and text and helps me fix them. I realized that I want to talk in English not only because I have to, but I enjoy the process as well. It is great, isn't it?
