Bio:
Learn English with an Irish/ Australian teacher & best selling author with 24 published novels (Sci-fi, dystopian, existentialism, satire) Fun - Challening - Dynamic - Zen (super positive class vibe) You will learn English like a child learns to crawl, walk, jump, run, and play. In an environment that is as fun as it is challenging. Learning must be a game. There must be challenges that force us to become better, and because of that ,we will fall - and when we fall we laugh ! We have fun !
My teaching methodology:
My teaching background:
I've been teaching English for 17 years in Brazil, and 8 years in Europe, UAE, Switzerland, US, Austraia, and Latin America (via online classes) I started my teaching career at Berlitz English School (the creme de le creme, i was told, in Brazil and abroad.) There i formed a fantastic relationshio with several students (key players in Brazilian financial system), and i was asked to leave the school, start my own company, and take them on as my first priavte clients. From that point on i never looked back. I have worked with everyone, from every walk of life. In 2020, i was lucky to spend several months teaching a renowned Brazilian movie director. I have also worked with famed Brazilian football clubs Santos FC and Palmeiras FC. Currently, i teach IELTS prep, academic writing courses (for research students/professors), Business English, Conversation (very introspective and philosophical coversations), Social English, creative writing for kids, Grammar Intensive. teens / Adults
My background outside of teaching:
I teach students from many professions - Film Directors, CEO's, Managers, Aviation Engineers, Programmers, Sports Lawers, Artists, Students, Stay at home mum and dads, Marketing Execustive, Psycho-analysits, and more I study their professions. I love to read and learn. So, in my spare time, i read about civil and aviation engineeering, neural spychology, psychology, tech, and more. I do this study so i can help my students build the language for their live and careers. As such, i am a wealth of knowledge of so many industries. Before teaching i was a singer in a rock band (in australia), and i ran a touring company (bringing rock bands to my city) and i was a DJ on radio (89.7FM) In Brazil, i ran a teaching company with 3 tachers in the financial sector. I also owned a clothing business with my then wife. I did administration, finance, logsitics, and customer service (and i made clothes too) I have done a lot and i bring that experience to the classroom :)
