Hello!

I am Richard from California and I live in Uberlandia, Brazil. As a tutor, I have always focused on conversational skills with a solid grammatical base. I will correct your errors as frequently as you like. I specialize in intermediate and advanced students and can help you move your English up to the next level.15 years experience teaching English as a second language and 14 years teaching Brazilians. Quer começar a aprender ou melhorar seu inglês? Eu entendo bem o português e posso te ajudar a alcançar seus objetivos!

I grew up in California. I lived in Germany for almost 4 years and have spent a lot of time in Venezuela. I have been living in Brazil for 16 years first in Sao Paulo and now in Uberlandia. I love to go to live concerts. I've seen the Who, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton, Joao Gilberto, Gal Costa, Bebel Gilberto, Art Blakey, Bill Evans, Count Basie and many others. I also love talking about professional tennis and other sports.

Teaching Style

One of the tools for improving conversational skills is having open conversations which I do with my students every class. I also recommend doing the Cambly lessons and reading the Engoo website lessons with me in class. Say hello one day, I can share experiences from living in 4 different countries or stories from my 16 years in Brazil. I specialize in helping intermediate and advanced students break through to the next level.
