Hello! (EN) ¡Hola! (ES) Olá! (PT)
I'm Michele, a passionate English teacher with over 16 years of teaching experience and CELTA certification. I've had the privilege of working with students from various cultures, ages, and proficiency levels—ranging from beginners to advanced. Throughout my career, I've been committed to creating dynamic, engaging, and accessible learning environments.
Having studied in countries such as England, the United States, Argentina, and Brazil, my teaching approach is shaped by global perspectives. My travels to Asia and Europe have also broadened my understanding of diverse learning needs and communication styles, allowing me to tailor my lessons to meet learners' unique goals.
My teaching philosophy centers on fostering autonomy, belonging, and competency. I believe students thrive when placed at the heart of the learning process, where they develop language skills and essential 21st-century competencies like critical thinking, creativity, and communication. Whether focusing on professional language for workplace success or general fluency, my lessons are personalized to ensure all hard and soft skills enhance your opportunities.
In my classroom, we value self-expression tools like problem-solving, collaboration, and storytelling, ensuring that learning feels natural and enjoyable. My goal is to help you communicate confidently in English while equipping you with skills that extend beyond the classroom.
When I'm not teaching, I love exploring the arts, getting lost in a good book, or listening to the sounds of nature, especially birds.
I'm genuinely excited to be a part of your learning journey, and I look forward to the achievements we will share together!
