About Me
italki teacher since Feb 16, 2017Me as a Teacher
Learning English with me feels like learning English with a friend, except I will correct your mistakes. :) (not all of them though, because that wouldn't help!)
I will happily share with you all the knowledge I have gained while living in seven countries and learning four languages.
You will appreciate:
- My understanding of how to learn a language
- My relaxed, patient, friendly style
- My real desire to help you improve =) My lessons & teaching style
I have a fun, easy to understand learning style, in a positive, encouraging atmosphere. (:
My teaching method is based on the "Comprehensible Input method" by Stephen Krashen. This method is based on research that shows students learn languages by listening and reading messages that they understand--NOT by studying lists of vocabulary and memorizing grammar rules. The fastest way to learn English is also the most fun--listening and reading for pleasure!
I look forward to meeting you! :)My teaching material

AttendentI've worked in 4 different hostels as an attendant. 1 in Portugal, 1 in Chile, & 2 in Panama. I was responsible for checking people in, accepting payment, answering the phone, etc..

Today I learned new expression, I discovered some strange rules that we have here in Brazil to foreigners and how to pronounce "Wednesday" hahaha, really great conversation! He helps me a lot to increase my self-confidence. If you have the same fear to speak as I do, you need this guy! =D I never saw a bad expression when I said something very awkward to him hahaha. You are the man, Stephen!

Great Class!
Stephen is a great teacher as well as a great friend, he is really humorous also passion about teaching. He could always make sure I got lots of practice during the classes !
He helped me a lot with my interview preparation. I learned a lot about how to tell a good story and polish my personal style. I developed my spoken English a lot and finally got the offer from my dream company !!!
Thank you so much, Stephen !

Great conversation! It's like talking with a friend. In the beginning, I had fear because I don't practice speaking in English but Stephen gives you confidence and support.
