Hello,

My name is Patricia; originally from the US (San Francisco, California), I am currently based in Lisbon where I offer conversation English lessons where students will have the opportunity to use and improve their speaking and listening skills.

In these one to one lessons we will work together on proper pronunciation, articulation, tone as well as grammar and vocabulary. Each class will be designed with the particular interest of the student in mind so if there's a particular goal you have, I will do my very best to help you work towards it - whether it's oral preparation for exams, for professional reasons or just social.

What I can help you with:

- Pronunciation, Articulation & Tone
- Wider Vocabulary
- Improved Grammar

Key Factors of these one to one lessons:
- Flexible private lessons - organize your classes for when it suits you and your schedule

- Goal-oriented classes - improve your conversational skills for exams, work or social reasons

- The option of learning in a group if you would like to share your lesson with family/friends/colleagues

Looking forward to speaking with you!

I offer English classes for all levels and purposes: school, high-school, university, official exams, conversation, written assignment assistance, etc.

I am highly skilled in writing, vocabulary, and grammar in the English language, considering it my mother tongue, although I am Austrian. My accent is very neutral and international, as I went to International schools from the age of five and completed a degree in London. I spent my school years helping fellow students with their homework and conversational skills and my university years correcting and editing fellow students' essays.

I would tailor our classes to your needs and requirements - just let me know what it is you need to achieve and we will make it happen together!

The key points I will be able to help with:
- Written and spoken knowledge and understanding
- Grammar
- Pronunciation and vocabulary

Looking forward to speaking with you!

I am a certified Canadian educator, and my teaching experience includes Primary Years Cambridge curriculum in English Language Arts, English Literature, Maths, Humanities and Global Perspectives for both Primary Years (Grades 3,4,6 and Lower Secondary. I also have experience teaching Personal, Social, Health Education (PSHE) as well as Physical Education, and life skills for classes in both Primary, Lower and Upper Secondary.

My education philosophy is rooted in pedagogy which is focused on the empowerment of children, teachers and parents to support the full development of children and assist in maintaining a joyful environment in which children can thrive, learn and realize their potential in a fun way.

Why is this important? Well, firstly, a happier childhood in which children are equipped with a keen sense of themselves can help them to better transition into adulthood.

What I have realized is that a balance is required between academic learning and life skills which includes social, emotional learning. My work involves supporting a teaching approach which focuses on student and parent engagement working together to support the child's individual needs. In the classroom, it is supporting children to be engaged and motivated learners by focusing on a truly student-centered approach at their pace and level of understanding and moving towards their learning goals step by step. This approach not only builds tremendous self-confidence but also boosts the child's understanding that they are cared for and their personal identity is more than just their academic abilities; supporting the whole development of the child.

Upon recently completing a Masters of Arts in Childhood studies and Early Years, my autoethnographic dissertation on supporting well-being in international schools with third culture kids demonstrates that there is a need for a new approach towards well-being in schools. Well-being support is necessary for all children and cannot be compartmentalized but requires an integrated and unique approach.

The goal of my teaching approach is to support students to have a happy childhood by helping schools to support their student’s well-being in a more integrated and engaging way since our approaches towards children greatly impacts their personal development.

My sessions, in French as in English, are fun and based on conviviality and the student's desire to learn. I like to create a climate of trust so that the student is fulfilled and learns more and faster.
I also like to base my sessions on current events to make them more relevant, or use means such as radio, television, music or films because these are more motivating means.

Knowledge of the English language is an indispensable tool in this day and age. However, while the basics are relatively easy to master, learning the nuances can really up your game in conversations (whether everyday or professional) and in the case of tests and exams, it is crucial to get familiar with the format of the questions.

I have a degree in literature from the University of Cambridge, have a C2 certificate (i.e. near-native proficiency), lived in the UK for three years, plus have years of teaching and proofreading experience. Thus, no matter your level, I can help you reach your language goals!

If you're already comfortable with the basics of English and want to take your skills to the next level, my lessons are perfect for you! I focus on conversation practice and expanding vocabulary, helping you gain confidence in real-world situations. Instead of diving into grammar drills, we’ll work on fluency, pronunciation, and natural expression through interactive discussions on a variety of topics that interest you. These sessions are ideal for intermediate to advanced learners who want to refine their speaking abilities and feel more confident when using English in different social settings.
