My name is Andy and I`m a native speaker from Ann Arbor, MI legally residing in Brazil. I have more than 25 years of experience teaching and I specialize in conversation and business English both online and face-to-face, in company and privately. I believe improving confidence in speaking is the key to progress in language learning and I know this as I had to learn Portuguese when I moved here. My classes focus on oral production and comprehension. All my classes are tailored to meet my students` needs and I aim to make my classes as much fun as possible! I like to role-play tasks like job interviews in my classes, and once I get to know you, we can concentrate on building up all your skills. My classes are always a lot of fun and there is a lot to talk about as I lived in NYC for many years and worked in retail record sales and multi-media installations and was also a roadie for some rock bands. Here in Rio, I`ve taught at many companies such as Xerox do Brasil, Vale, Banco do Brasil and Petrobras.
It's pretty easy if you are motivated, study....and TALK....Talking and listening are the most important skills so I always stimulate my students to practice them...There is always lots to talk about in my classes so that makes it way easier!! My lessons are very interesting and cover many issues! Normally after the first month of classes my students start to build up their confidence.
If you have a good teacher and study hard, it is not so difficult. I include a lot of interesting materials in my classes to help expand vocabulary and reading skills. Additionally, I coach young people to score high on TOEFL exams. And remember, if you set aside a little time every day to study it really speeds things up.
