Hello!
Hello Everyone! I'm here to help intermediate and advanced students improve their British English in the best way possible. I've helped many students in the past get over their difficulties and sometimes anxiety when learning the English language on Cambly. For more experienced students I'll help you to move forward using examples that relate to your lives, especially your work and hobbies. So, let's get together and make you comfortable in any situation speaking English.
I started life wanting to be an mechanical engineer and ended up doing a more artistic profession and teaching English language. After leaving Grammar School in the English countryside with 3 science A-Levels, I went on to complete a Bachelor of Arts degree from Goldsmiths College, University of London. After living in London I moved to Paris, the most amazing city in the world, to work first as a professional dancer and finally as a fashion photographer. I moved to Brazil after meeting a wonderful woman on a trip there for the fashion magazine 'L'Officiel'. I worked in Sao Paulo for many clients including 'Vogue Brazil' before moving to Vitoria where I live now. I try to keep healthy by swimming and cycling and do go to the gym but it's not really my thing. I love great music from Chill-hop to Classical; Hip-Hop to Samba. I'm a film fan and Netflix addict. I play PES and love trivia games. At the moment I'm developing my career as a writer and will launch a blog in 2026. I have also started a novel which I hope to complete soon.

I try to relate learning English to your daily life by using words and examples that you will need for your work and your personal interests. Everyone is different and has different needs when learning a new language and I try to adapt my class to keep my students interested. Learning a language can be boring but not only for a student but for a teacher so I don't want our classes to be tedious. Of course if you want to improve you will have to put in some effort and I expect that from my students. I'm suited to intermediate and advanced students that already understand the basics and are looking to broaden their understanding of English.
