ABOUT THE CLASS:
- I have taught students of all ages, levels, and cultural backgrounds. I specialize in private lessons and tutoring. I speak with a clear voice and positive attitude to help you meet your English goals.
- I can teach the 4 skills of language: Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking. However, there is one more skill I can help you with as well: Critical Thinking and Understanding.
- After meeting you, I will create a customized lesson plan based on your current ability and goals.

- I have more than 10 years of English teaching experience in Brazil, South Korea, and Japan.
I am a Native English Speaker from the USA, currently living in Tokyo, Japan since December 2015.

ABOUT ME:
- I have lived in 4 different countries, so I know what it's like to learn a new language. English is my first language, but I am a polyglot! I also speak Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, and Korean.
- I have a wide range of interests and experience, so we can talk about anything you like. I'm curious to learn more about you and your culture, and I am happy to share my life story as well.
- My international experience has provided a unique perspective on culture and working with people, maintaining an open mind, and adapting to the needs of each individual client.
- I am passionate about international relations and understanding how different backgrounds and societies influence one’s thinking, and I strongly believe that interaction with other cultures contributes to greater personal development and growth.
Extra information
I will take notes to give to you at the end of the class.
If we meet in person, please prepare an A5 size clear file folder to keep the notes I write for you.
You should also bring your own notebook and pen/pencil to take your own notes.
I might suggest a textbook for you to use (paid by you or reimbursed back to me).
The transportation and/or beverage cost at the café we meet at is already included in the lesson price.

Santiago
Hello,

My name is Santiago and I am offering individual and personalized virtual English classes to improve both your oral and written communication. The main focus of my classes is focused on developing fluent and structured communication of the English language either to prepare international exams, including the TOEFL and the FCE, or to be able to communicate properly in the professional field or to reinforce and maintain prior knowledge of this language.

I am a graduate, graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University in the USA. Having learned English as a child at the Ivy Thomas Memorial School in Uruguay, and lived a year and a half in Thailand, followed by 4 years in the USA I acquired great knowledge and fluency in the English language.

In Thailand I spent a year and a half studying communication arts, which helped me, prepare for my studies in the US. I had several communication classes, learning techniques of how to speak better using not only our words but also our body to help us speak more naturally, calmly, and without getting nervous if we get stuck or forget what we wanted to say. During my career in the US, I was constantly writing essays for my classes, in addition to having to present projects in front of my teachers and classmates. At the same time, I was working at university and after graduation I worked for a year, mainly having long phone conversations with people from all over the country.

Nowadays the ability to communicate in English is essential and I am going to prepare you so that you can meet your goals. It could be, studying abroad, going to live in an English-speaking country, improving your communication in the professional field, or keep practicing so as not to lose the previously acquired level.
If what you are looking for is to improve your knowledge of the English language, I will help you. My methodology is simple. Each person is different and I adapt the content of my classes to the needs and interests of my students. We all learn in different ways and at different times,
