I will ask you some questions to get to know you and what you would like to learn. I'll also give you feedback on your speaking skills.

This class is conversation-based, but I will correct your pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. There are 4 options:

1. No homework - just show up! You can choose what you would like to talk about, or I will choose topics to keep you talking :)

2. Video homework - I create homework assignment based on videos (usually Ted Talks). I pick out vocabulary from the video, especially phrasal verbs and other useful phrases, and we discuss the video topic in our next class.

3. Grammar homework - some students notice that they have "gaps" in their grammar knowledge and would like to reinforce certain topics. In that case, the class time will still be conversation-based, but I will spend some time explaining the grammar and will send you exercises to practice on your own.

4. Business English - I will provide a Business English book which will be used for your homework and the basis of our classes.

I accept students aged 13+. I prefer using Zoom for classes.

English Speaking, Listening, Pronunciation, and Grammar (TEENS + ADULTS)

Você tem dificuldade com uns sons em inglês? Fica na dúvida sobre a pronúncia certa de algumas palavras? Você tem vergonha de falar, ou já cansou de ouvir “hã?” das pessoas que não te entenderam, mas não sabe como melhorar o seu sotaque?

Vou ser o seu guia! 

Depois de muitos anos dando aula para brasileiros, preparei esse curso que aborda os sons de inglês americano que costumam ser difíceis para eles. A base da aula será a conversação para treinar os sons em foco, mas os alunos também receberão exercícios com áudios para treinar em casa. 

Bora aprender muito e também se divertir :)
