Practice, Learn and Improve
My goal is to help and assist each individual student to communicate much better in English. Also, I coach each individual in order to motivate them to continue in their efforts in English by gradually awakening the student, not only to be aware, but, also, to inspire each one to know what they need to do in order to reach objectives and goals.
Each student, and I, can make the learning process interesting, fun and enjoyable.
Learning and acquiring a language is a challenge, however, with the proper tools of knowledge and with orientation as to the direction one needs to take, the student can attain what needs to be achieved. This requires that each and every day, for the rest of one’s life, be a day of learning and building one’s own future.
I live permanently in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. I have been teaching / tutoring English for many, many years.

“Não existe tal coisa como um processo de educação neutra.
Educação ou funciona como um instrumento que é usado para facilitar
a integração das gerações na lógica do atual sistema e trazer
conformidade com ele ou ela se torna a “prática da liberdade”,
o meio pelo qual homens e mulheres lidam de forma crítica com a
realidade e descobrem como participar na transformação
do seu mundo.”
