American English Conversation Practice; Let's speak together!

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!

Patricia is a very kind and commited person. My first class with Patricia was very interesting. We had the opportunity to meet each other and we've shared several ideas, plans and stories in an easy going conversation in english while she pointed me some vocabulary corrections. I am looking forward to having the next class to learn more expressions and tips to improve my speaking and express myself in an easier way!
I had a great experience with Patricia, She has been very patient with me and always makes sure all my questions are answered. She is very caring and professional and also friendly. I highly recommend and looking forward to working with her in the future.

Melissa
Native English Speaker Cambridge International Educator
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.

Kiara
English language and Conversational English Teacher
I would like to help you learn and practice the English language. At our first lesson together we will establish the level of English that you are at and what your learning style is. From there I will structure lessons accordingly and make sure that they are suited to your interests. I want you to enjoy learning English. For conversational lessons, we will talk and I will help correct your sentences at the end. For General English lessons, we can focus on grammar, punctuation, reading, writing, pronunciation, sentence forming, and anything else that you would like to know. I can also assist you in writing CV's, e-mails, and letters. I am also able to teach business English, if you have a meeting or interview coming up I can help you prepare. I can speak a very basic level of Portuguese so if you don't speak any English that is no problem at all.
